While underperforming the national retail sales bounce registered in March of this year, B.C. retail spending did rebound with a 0.3-per-cent increase in seasonally adjusted sales, after a 0.7-per-cent dip in February. Consistent with the national picture, this provincial increase was due to higher sales at motor vehicle and parts dealers. Unadjusted retail sales in the province were also up 3.5 per cent compared to the same month in 2024.

Based on local real estate board data, home sales in the region spanning Metro Vancouver and Abbotsford-Mission (and the Sea-to-Sky), topped 3,100 units during the month, marking a 26-per-cent, year-over-year decline, and compared to a 17.6-per-cent drop in March. This was the fewest April sales since 2020 at the depths of the pandemic.
