• Fall 2026 Housing Supply Report

    Fall 2026 Housing Supply Report

    As someone deeply passionate about real estate investment and city planning, I pay close attention to Canada’s evolving housing supply. The latest Fall 2026 report confirms what many of us in the field have sensed: while Calgary and Edmonton are bucking the trend, most major cities continue to face a persistent gap in available homes. Construction activity isn’t keeping up with demand, and that disconnect puts further pressure on affordability—especially for those looking to enter the market. Interestingly, rental developments are currently leading new supply, but with fewer condos being built, ownership opportunities remain limited. My experience in construction and zoning has shown me how crucial it is to strike a balance between new housing starts and supportive infrastructure. For those navigating these shifting dynamics, understanding the nuances behind these numbers is essential for making confident decisions.

  • Vancouver Housing Stays Globally Desirable

    Vancouver’s enduring global appeal is something I witness firsthand, both as a real estate professional and as someone who calls this vibrant city home. Recently, Vancouver ranked 24th among 1,000 cities worldwide—a testament to our strong economy and the incredible talent that shapes our community, even as housing affordability continues to challenge many of us. According to a recent study, Vancouver’s median multiple is close to 11, firmly placing us among the world’s least affordable major markets. As an investor and advisor, I see every day how these numbers translate into real decisions for buyers and sellers. Residents here dedicate a larger share of their income to housing than almost anywhere else, making affordability a defining factor in our quality of life. The supply gap and slower housing starts projected through 2026 add another layer to the story, helping explain why affordability improvements remain elusive for many Vancouver buyers. With a background in real estate investment, construction, and zoning, I’m committed to guiding clients through these complexities, helping them navigate both the opportunities and realities of Vancouver’s ever-evolving market.

  • In Vancouver, Square Footage Isn’t the Only Kind of Space

    As someone who’s called Vancouver home for years, I’ve come to appreciate that space here isn’t always about square footage—it’s about connection to the landscape. In most cities, more space might mean a sprawling backyard, but in Vancouver, it can mean opening your curtains each morning to a mountain view. Many of our homes sit just minutes from the coastline and the North Shore mountains, offering daily reminders of the natural beauty that surrounds us. On a clear September day, those peaks rise above downtown rooftops, a view that’s hard to put a price on. For those considering a move to the outskirts for a bigger home, it’s worth weighing what you’d be leaving behind. As someone with a background in real estate investment and a passion for both the built and natural environments, I know that the right property is about more than just extra rooms—it’s about the lifestyle and vistas that come with it. Would you trade a bit of indoor space for a front-row seat to Vancouver’s breathtaking scenery? It’s a question I always encourage clients to consider.

  • Vancouver Sees New Opportunities Amid 2025 Population Shift

    Vancouver Sees New Opportunities Amid 2025 Population Shift

    As someone who’s seen both sides of Vancouver’s real estate market—through the lens of an investor and as a local professional—it’s striking to note that Vancouver’s population actually dropped by over 8,000 residents from 2024 to 2025. This marks the city’s steepest decline in two decades. Federal immigration changes, paired with the ongoing challenge of high living costs, have played a major role, and the ripple effects reach far beyond the numbers. For those of us invested in the city’s future, this shift directly impacts how we approach housing and infrastructure planning. My own background in zoning and construction has taught me that population trends like this are crucial for anticipating what’s next in our market. Whether you’re considering your first investment or simply watching how the city evolves, understanding these shifts helps us all navigate Vancouver’s unique landscape with greater confidence.

    BC Standing Inventory Data By City, Size, And Average Price

    BC’s latest inventory numbers show 6,687 unsold residential units across the province—predominantly condos, with Burnaby, Vancouver, and Surrey leading the way in available stock. What stands out this time is that the surplus isn’t just limited to small units; the mix highlights how nuanced our residential market has become. As someone who approaches real estate with an investor’s mindset and a background in construction and zoning, I see these figures as a reflection of shifting buyer preferences and evolving development patterns.

I believe that a well-informed decision is always rooted in a clear reading of the facts—and there’s a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

  • Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley Sales Soften

    As we move through mid-Q3, Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley are experiencing a noticeable easing in residential sales, with just 1,900 transactions marking a subdued close to summer 2026. While this falls short of earlier forecasts for the year, it’s important to look deeper: active inventory has risen to 15,800 properties, offering buyers a wider selection and more room for negotiation. The composite benchmark now stands at $1.08M—slightly down month-over-month—which signals increasingly buyer-friendly conditions. Detached homes are leading this correction, with their benchmark price at $1.8M. Apartments are currently at $686K and attached homes at $1.03M. The sales-to-active listings ratio is around 12%, a clear indicator of a market that’s tilting in favor of buyers.

    Drawing on my background in real estate investment, construction, and planning, I’ve seen firsthand how shifting markets can open up new opportunities. For those navigating these changes—especially first-time investors and home buyers—it’s a moment to approach the market with careful planning and a clear understanding of your options. As always, I’m committed to ensuring my clients feel confident and well-informed at every step of their real estate journey.

  • Will Vancouver Finally Rebound in 2027?

    As someone who closely follows Vancouver's housing landscape—both as a real estate professional and an investor—I'm always weighing questions about where the market is headed. Vancouver has long been known for its challenging affordability, even with some recent improvements. Heading into 2027, we’re seeing a unique dynamic: demand remains subdued and inventory is higher than usual, which continues to shape buyer and seller decisions. According to TD, we can anticipate B.C. home prices shifting into positive territory during 2027, following a period of slower growth. Interestingly, the data suggests that a recovery in sales activity could actually precede any significant jump in prices. For those considering their next move—whether buying, selling, or investing—a solid understanding of these trends, supported by experience in construction and investment, is key to navigating what’s ahead for Vancouver’s real estate market.
