Mid-year outlook for Canada's housing market: Between correction and recovery
As someone who’s been guiding clients through Canada’s ever-changing real estate landscape since 1989, I’m always keeping an eye on the bigger trends—and the current mid-year outlook for Canada’s housing market is worth noting. Looking ahead to 2026, we’re seeing encouraging signs: resales are picking up, inventory levels are steadying, and price declines are easing off. While challenges like planned immigration cuts and increases in interest rates remain on the horizon, the forecast for 2027 points to a modest rebound. Having navigated many market cycles over the years, I know how valuable it is to approach these shifts with perspective and sound information.

BC Standing Inventory Reached 6.7K
Standing inventory in BC has reached 6,700 homes, with 5,500 of those being condos—a clear indicator that the market is more complex than just a surplus of studios and one-beds. When we break it down by city, Burnaby currently leads with 1,210 unsold homes, closely followed by Vancouver at 1,020, Surrey at 798, and Coquitlam at 620. Richmond, Kelowna, Langley Township, New Westminster, and Delta all contribute to the province-wide total, with inventory spread well beyond just the largest markets. We’re also seeing notable counts in areas like Langford, Esquimalt, the City of North Vancouver, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack, making up a total of 5,840 units across the listed cities. As someone who’s been helping clients navigate real estate in BC since 1989 and who understands both the sales and insurance sides of the business, I can tell you: the current inventory landscape isn’t driven by just one segment of homes or price points. It’s a province-wide situation with a variety of factors at play.

Home Improvements That Can Actually Increase Your Property Value
After decades in real estate, I've seen firsthand how certain home improvements can really move the needle on property value. If you're considering renovations with resale in mind, focus on updates like doors, kitchens, siding, windows, flooring, basements, insulation, bathrooms, and roofs—they tend to offer a solid return. Thoughtful touches like landscaping, upgraded lighting, improved closets, and even backup generators can make a home more appealing to buyers. It's always rewarding to help clients identify changes that add real value to their homes.

CREA data shows home sales up 0.5% while new listings fall 1.6% — regional markets shift toward balanced territory
After more than three decades in real estate, I’ve learned to pay close attention to subtle shifts in the market. The latest CREA data shows Canadian home sales have edged up by 0.5%, while new listings are down 1.6%, pushing the sales-to-new listings ratio to 51.3%. With inventory holding steady at 4.7 months and prices showing stable, modest growth, we’re seeing many regional markets move closer to balanced territory. These numbers signal a market that’s neither overheated nor stalled—something I always watch for when advising clients. Having navigated every market turn since 1989, I know how important timing and insight are in decisions about buying or selling.

Metro Vancouver Buyers Enjoy More Choices in Real Estate Market
With more than three decades of experience in Metro Vancouver real estate, I've seen our market weather many shifts. This August, sales in Metro Vancouver dipped 4.6% from last year, influenced by factors like slower immigration, reduced investor activity, and high mortgage rates. Home prices also softened, down 5.6% to $1,081,900. The Fraser Valley saw a 14% drop in sales with prices falling 7% to $869,900. These numbers highlight how even favourable buying conditions can be impacted by broader trends. As someone who’s navigated changing markets since 1989, I know how important it is to understand the story behind the stats.

Top Earners Unlock Exciting Opportunities in Canada’s Housing Market
The numbers tell an important story: in Canada, first-time homebuyers are having to earn between 13% and 36% more than the typical household just to get into the market. Nowhere is this gap more pronounced than in B.C. and Nova Scotia, where affordability challenges are at their peak. After more than three decades helping clients navigate these shifts, I’ve seen how rising entry barriers are shaping our communities—and making it harder for lower earners to access homeownership. It’s a reminder of how crucial it is to approach the market with a clear understanding and the right strategy.
