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.
