Bought 2016: $5,885,714
Sold: $5,300,000
Nominal price loss: $585,714 — a decade of gains, gone

That $585K is just the sticker. Add it all up:
+ ~$137,000 selling commission
+ ~$155,000 property transfer tax they paid buying in
= ~$880,000 in hard costs before inflation
⠀
Adjust for inflation and it’s brutal: $5.9M in 2016 dollars is worth ~$7.7M today. In real terms, this owner is down over $2,000,000.

A blue-chip MacKenzie Heights home — 6 bed, 7 bath, 3-car garage, wine wall, home theatre, marble fireplaces. One of the most desirable pockets on the Westside. Not a teardown. And it still went backwards.
⠀
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦
When old-money MacKenzie Heights gives back 10 years of appreciation, the “Westside only goes up” story is officially done.
⠀
👉 Is $5.3M a genuine deal in MacKenzie Heights, or is even the blue-chip Westside still priced too high?

On July 28, 2026, Vancouver City Council rejected the Villages Plan outright.
⠀
𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘
👉 17 village areas rezoned across the city
👉 Apartments up to 6 storeys in areas dominated by detached homes
👉 More ground-level retail and services
👉 The goal: denser, walkable neighbourhoods
⠀
𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜𝗧 𝗪𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡
👉 300+ people signed up to speak at the public hearing
👉 1,000+ written submissions, the majority opposed
👉 Final vote: 10-1
👉 3 opposition councillors voted with Mayor Ken Sim’s ABC majority
👉 OneCity’s Lucy Maloney was the only vote in favour
⠀
Maloney tried to send the plan back for deeper consultation, then tried to pilot it in 5 villages instead of 17. Both amendments were voted down. She described the multi-year process as a disorganized waste of public money.
⠀
ABC Coun. Sarah Kirby-Yung said staff were directed to cancel the plan full stop and that there was “no social licence” to move it forward.
⠀
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Opponents pointed to neighbourhood character, infrastructure strain, new limits on what owners could do with their own property, and tree canopy loss. Supporters argued it was the only way to spread housing across the whole city instead of stacking it along the busiest arterial roads.
⠀
Either way, 17 neighbourhoods stay zoned exactly as they are today.
⠀
Right call by council, or the politically easy one three months out from an election?

Zero. Against 152 a year earlier, per Zonda Home Canada. I keep reading comments saying this market drops for the next 10 to 15 years. This is the exact reason it won’t.
⠀
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱
👉 Metro Vancouver concrete highrise launches, Q1 2026: zero (vs 152 in Q1 2025)
👉 Townhome launches: 334 in Q1, from 507
👉 February presales: 64 homes across 3 projects in Greater Vancouver + Fraser Valley, about 6% of normal
👉 Toronto: no new launches for a second straight quarter, the only two in 30 years — this is national
👉 National starts: down 8.6% m/m in June to 239,000 annualized, off 12.6% y/y
👉 Condo starts down 38%. Homeowner starts are the lowest since 1997
⠀
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
A concrete tower is four to five years from launch to keys. What doesn’t launch in 2026 doesn’t complete in 2030 and 2031. Ben Rabidoux at Edge Realty Analytics put it bluntly: no new supply coming from 2030 onward. Cam Good at KEY Marketing says 2028 and 2029 bring a very significant shortage.
⠀
And look at what IS getting built. Of the 402,000 dwellings under construction nationally, a record 218,000 are purpose-built rentals — which never become for-sale inventory.
⠀
Yes, there are 3,945 completed unsold condos in Metro Vancouver today. That clears. A pipeline that stopped filling does not.
⠀
Are we two years from a supply crunch, or do you see a decade of downside?

It’s happening in B.C. right now. Developers are taking presale buyers who couldn’t close to court, and judgments run from $70,000 to $166,000 — on top of the deposit they already keep.
⠀
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨
Losing your deposit isn’t the penalty. It’s the down payment on the penalty. When a buyer doesn’t complete, the developer resells for less, then sues for the shortfall — plus carrying costs, remarketing and even strata fees you never paid a day of. The Globe and Mail’s Howard Chai found two dozen such lawsuits across Zenterra, Dawson + Sawyer, Marcon, Mosaic and Westbank projects.
⠀
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜𝗧’𝗦 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗢𝗪
Two numbers killed the investor pro forma. Rents: Vancouver apartments averaged $2,630 in January, down 9.2% year over year, with vacancy at 3.7% — the highest since 1988. Rates: they underwrote this at 2021 money and they’re completing at roughly double. Then the appraisal comes in under contract price, and that gap is cash you produce on completion day.
⠀
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡
$715,000 purchase. $68,000 deposit. Appraises at $585,000. You walk, you lose the $68,000, and the developer comes back for another $70,000. Craig Anderson of Magnum Projects says buyers have very little legal ground to fight it.

This one came down to locking in at exactly the right moment. My sellers needed to move their unit, and my buyers were laser focused on a detached property at a very specific price point. When those two needs lined up, we moved.
⠀
This is a beautiful home my clients can genuinely grow into, without sacrificing a single thing on their wishlist:
👉 All of their children get their own rooms upstairs
👉 A dedicated guest space
👉 A massive yard for the kids to actually use
⠀
Just as important, they are not relying on a mortgage helper to make this work. That is rare to find at this price point, and it means the whole home is truly theirs from day one.
⠀
Here’s the thing — this was the lowest comparable sale in the area. With strong negotiating and quick closing dates on the table, we landed a number that genuinely surprised my own buyers.
⠀
So many families in Vancouver are wrestling with the same decision: stay and compromise, or leave the region entirely for a price point that works. This is proof you do not have to choose. Even in the detached market, there is still real value to be found without leaving the province.
⠀
I am so excited for this family. Watching them find a home with room to actually live in, without giving up what mattered to them, is exactly why I do this.

Torn between compromising here or leaving the region for a price that works?

More than $200,000 under what comparable units in this building were selling for just last year. That is not a small gap. That is real value.
⠀
This buyer found me through YouTube, and they knew exactly what they wanted. That kind of clarity is rare, and it meant we could afford to be patient instead of settling for the first thing that came along.
⠀
So many condos on the market right now are cookie cutter shoe boxes. My buyer wanted something different: real space to grow into, walls of windows, and a home they could actually live in for years, not just a stepping stone.
⠀
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱:
👉 Sub-penthouse corner unit
👉 1,400 square feet
👉 3 bedrooms plus a den
👉 2 side by side parking stalls — the always rare find
⠀
Offerings like this almost never come up in this building.
⠀
Here’s the thing — patience and strong negotiating is what closed the gap. When you are well read on the market, know exactly what you want, and can act quickly when it shows up, you can still find great value in this market.

Could not be happier for my buyer.

Ottawa offered BC ~$300M and the same playbook. Eby said no. His reason: BC first-time buyers are already GST + PST exempt, so the money would land on move-up buyers and investors. He called it a bailout for developers.
