Buy local this summer at the Ladner Village Market!

A beloved gathering place for friends, families, and neighbours, the Ladner Village Market has grown into a destination outing for residents of Delta and visitors from across the Lower Mainland and beyond. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary season, the Market continues to be a vibrant showcase of community spirit, local talent, and small business entrepreneurship in the heart of Ladner Village.

Featuring more than 180 artisan vendors at each market, the Ladner Village Market is one of the largest open-air markets in western Canada. As a proud member of the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM), the Market follows the “Make It, Bake It, Grow It, Raise It, Wild Harvest It” policy. This means all products are handmade, homemade, and homegrown products — from farm-fresh produce and locally raised meats to baked goods, handcrafted items, and unique artisanal creations.

Supporting local remains at the heart of the Ladner Village Market’s mission. Each season, at least 20% of its vendors are based in Delta, reinforcing a strong commitment to the local economy and showcasing the incredible talent within the community.

The 2026 Ladner Village Market season runs on the following Sundays from 10:00am to 4:00pm:

Apartment sales lag, other housing segments steady

Led by slow sales in the apartment segment, home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver were down nearly four per cent in May compared to last year.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,150 in May 2026, a 3.5 per cent decrease from the 2,228 sales recorded in May 2025. This was 26.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,930). 

“While attached sales held relatively steady and detached sales edged up roughly one per cent in May, apartment sales were down about seven per cent year-over-year, which weighed down the overall sales total,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “Even then, apartment sales were not down uniformly across all regions – some of the larger areas such as North and East Vancouver saw increases relative to last year.”

There were 6,115 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in May 2026. This represents a 7.6 per cent decrease compared to the 6,620 properties listed in May 2025. This was 1.3 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (6,036). 

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 16,917, a one per cent decrease compared to May 2025 (17,094). This is 34.6 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (12,567). 

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for May 2026 is 13.1 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 10.7 per cent for detached homes, 15.4 per cent for attached, and 14.2 per cent for apartments. 

Analysis of the historical data suggests downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months. 

“Price trends across all housing types were flat month-over-month, as a healthy level of inventory easily absorbed the relatively muted level of overall demand in the market,” Lis said. “Year-to-date, sales have come in just shy of our forecast to this point in the year. With demand tracking our forecast so closely, it’s reasonable to expect a calm and orderly summer market, as no obvious near-term catalysts loom over the horizon to move the market significantly in either direction.” 

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,100,700. This represents a 6.2 per cent decrease over May 2025 and a 0.2 per cent increase compared to April 2026. 

Sales of detached homes in May 2026 reached 660, a 0.9 per cent increase from the 654 detached sales recorded in May 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,847,900. This represents a 6.9 per cent decrease from May 2025 and a 0.4 per cent increase compared to April 2026. 

Sales of apartment homes reached 1,009 in May 2026, a 7.2 per cent decrease compared to the 1,087 sales in May 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $697,800. This represents a 7.9 per cent decrease from May 2025 and a 0.7 per cent decrease compared to April 2026. 

Attached home sales in May 2026 totalled 463, a 1.3 per cent decrease compared to the 469 sales in May 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,048,200. This represents a 5.1 per cent decrease from May 2025 and a 0.5 per cent increase compared to April 2026.

Britannia Brewing was established in 2014 with the goal to provide a fun and exciting place whereby locals can come to enjoy quality Ales and food in a relaxed but refined atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from the nautical roots of Steveston BC and the history of the Britannia Shipyards our namesake was established. Early days involved building our Richmond brewery and a Steveston Village tasting room to showcase our crafted Ales and fresh cuisine. Growth was swift adopting a second location across the Fraser river in the quaint village of Ladner. This strategic additon allowed the opportunity for our extended neighbours to now become everyday customers.

As capacity nudged us to scale a step futher, we carefully selected and have now completed a 10,000 SQFT state of art manufactuing facility. This acre parcel boasting an oudoor picnic area and 200 seat restaurant is conveniently nestled in the beautiful Lake Country region of the Okanagan.

Come join us to enjoy a fresh pint while exploring these fantastic locations and everything Steveston, Ladner and Lake Country has to offer.
