Canadian Housing Affordability Remains Stable in Many Regions
Housing affordability in Canada saw a bit of a reprieve in Q2, thanks to slightly higher incomes and steady home prices. In my experience working with buyers and sellers throughout Greater Vancouver, I’ve noticed Vancouver and Toronto made some positive headway. However, Prairie and Atlantic markets didn’t fare as well, with some declines. Looking ahead, rising interest rates could mean increased housing costs by 2027. It’s a reminder of how quickly the landscape can shift—and why understanding both current trends and future outlooks is so important when navigating the Vancouver real estate market.

'Temporary detour, not a derailment': RBC on latest market slowdown
August brought a slight pause in Canada’s housing market, with home resales dipping by 0.7%. As someone who closely follows the Greater Vancouver scene—including Burnaby, Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam—I've noticed that regional trends remain mixed, with some areas seeing different shifts in prices and sales activity. For many, upcoming mortgage renewals and the prospect of higher payments are creating new considerations, but inventory levels remain balanced and borrowing costs are steady for now. In my experience, these moments are more of a temporary detour than a full stop—an opportunity to reassess, rather than a reason for concern. If you’re curious how this fits into your real estate goals, I’m always keeping an eye on the details that matter most for buyers and sellers.

Gen Z buyers lead every generation on affordability trade-offs
I’ve noticed a fascinating trend among today’s buyers: Gen Z is leading the way when it comes to affordability trade-offs. This new generation of homebuyers is more willing than others to adjust their spending and consider smaller homes in order to step into property ownership. In Canada, we’re seeing the greatest willingness to downsize, while buyers in the UK are less likely to compromise. As someone who helps clients navigate the Greater Vancouver market, I see firsthand how these shifts in attitude are shaping our local real estate landscape.

Vancouver Resales Edge Up
Vancouver’s real estate market is showing some interesting movement. Recent data reveals that resales climbed about 10% month-over-month, crossing the 2,000-home mark for the first time in nine months—a positive sign for anyone watching the local market. While prices continue to ease, the slowdown in price adjustments has become less pronounced. The home price index is down roughly 6% year-over-year, which points to softer conditions but stops short of anything more dramatic. Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, particularly around trade tensions impacting buyer confidence, the steady month-over-month increase in resales stands out. According to an economist’s perspective, this current slowdown is seen as a temporary detour rather than a major shift, suggesting that Vancouver’s real estate activity warrants close attention rather than worry. Looking ahead, the forecast calls for stabilization through 2026 into 2027, with the city’s market recovery expected to be uneven. Having marketed properties across Greater Vancouver—including Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam—I’m keeping a close watch on these shifts to help clients navigate their next move with clarity.

Vancouver, Winnipeg Expand Housing with Resilient Flood Zone Plans
StatsCan has highlighted a trend that's important for anyone considering a move or investment in our local market: cities like Vancouver, Winnipeg, Chatham-Kent, and Chilliwack are seeing more homes built in high flood hazard zones. In fact, recent construction has ramped up in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and B.C., mainly to address housing supply pressures. As someone who works throughout Greater Vancouver and knows how vital it is to weigh both opportunity and risk, I always advise my clients to consider location factors like flood risk when reviewing new listings. Staying informed and making thoughtful choices can make all the difference in our dynamic market.

In Vancouver, Square Footage Isn't the Only Kind of Space
In Vancouver real estate, space is more than just square footage. Here, many homes offer something you won't find elsewhere: sweeping views of the North Shore mountains or the sparkling coastline, often just minutes from your doorstep. Having marketed homes throughout Greater Vancouver—Burnaby, Vancouver proper, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and beyond—I’ve seen firsthand how those mountain and water views shape what buyers value. Sometimes, moving farther out gets you a bigger yard, but it can mean trading away those daily panoramas that define life in this city. For many, the sight of peaks rising above downtown rooftops on a clear September day is worth every square foot. If you’re weighing your next move, consider what kind of space matters most to you.
