Think the listing price is the final price?
Think again!

A recent Globe and Mail investigation reported that a Veritas Investment Research mystery shopper was offered an approximate
$700 per square foot discount on a new Vancouver condo after signing a Non Disclosure Agreement that kept the price and incentives confidential.

This isn’t new! I’ve been helping buyers navigate confidential developer transactions like these for years!

Depending on the project, some opportunities are negotiated privately and may never appear on MLS.

The biggest takeaway is simple…
The advertised price isn’t always the final price.

If you’re buying in Greater Vancouver, send me a DM to learn more.

DO YOU REALLY NEED A REALTOR?

Most people think a Realtor’s job is opening doors and putting up signs…
The best Realtors do far more than that!

They help buyers uncover opportunities that never reach the public, negotiate stronger terms, identify costly red flags before they become expensive mistakes, and guide every step of the process with proven market insight.

For sellers, it’s about strategic pricing, professional marketing, expert negotiation, and a customized plan designed to attract the right buyers and maximize results not just sell a home.

Whether you’re buying your first property, investing, or preparing to sell, the right strategy can make a meaningful difference in both your outcome and your experience.

Real estate isn’t just about finding a property.
It’s about making the right move.

If you don’t own a home yet, this could be one of the smartest financial moves you make.

The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) combines the best features of an RRSP and a TFSA:

✔️ Tax-deductible contributions�✔️ Tax-free investment growth�✔️ Tax-free withdrawals when used to buy your first qualifying home

Here’s what many Canadians don’t realize:
Your FHSA contribution room doesn’t start until you open your first account.

That means waiting could cost you valuable tax-saving opportunities. Even if you’re not planning to buy for a few years, opening an FHSA now starts building your contribution room for the future.

You can contribute up to $8,000 per year, with a $40,000 lifetime limit, and depending on your income, your contributions could generate a meaningful tax refund that many buyers use to boost their down payment.

As a Greater Vancouver Realtor, I’ve met too many first-time buyers who wish they’d opened an FHSA sooner.

Sometimes, buying your first home starts long before you begin looking at homes.

💬 Thinking about buying your first home? Send me a DM and let’s build a strategy that puts you in the strongest financial position possible.

We all wear different hats, and I thought it was time to share a little more of the person behind the business.

Most buyers are looking for a house.
Smart buyers are looking for an asset.

Every real estate cycle creates
two types of buyers:
✔️ Those waiting for certainty.
✔️ Those positioning themselves for opportunity.

If you’re buying a detached home in Greater Vancouver, focus on these 3 strategies:

1️⃣ Buy income potential.
Look for legal suites, laneway potential
(where permitted), or future redevelopment opportunities that can add flexibility and help offset ownership costs.

2️⃣ Follow fundamentals, not hype.
Neighbourhoods with great schools, parks, transit, and strong family appeal often hold their value through changing market conditions.

3️⃣ Choose functionality over flash.
Practical layouts, natural light, storage, parking, and well-maintained homes often outperform trendy renovations over the long term.

Markets change. Interest rates change. Headlines change.

But location, flexibility, and functionality continue to be qualities buyers value through every market cycle.

🔥 𝗞𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗔 𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗕𝗡𝗕 𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞🔥

Starting June 1, Kelowna is officially exempt from BC’s principal residence Airbnb rules for eligible tourism zoned properties. The change comes after Kelowna’s rental vacancy rate stayed above the province’s required threshold for two straight years.

What does this mean for real estate?
Buyers may see new investment opportunities return to the condo market, while sellers with Airbnb friendly properties could see stronger demand heading into summer.

Kelowna is balancing tourism growth with housing supply by limiting full time short term rentals to approved zones only.

The investor market in Kelowna just got very interesting again 👀

🚨 𝐁.𝐂. 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠🚨

Starting Oct 1, 2026, B.C. is expanding the 7% PST to professional services including accounting, design, engineering, and commercial real estate commissions bringing it closer to how other provinces tax services.

A $100K commission could now mean $7,000 in tax, while a $50K design contract may add $1,000+ depending on structure.

Stack multiple services, and costs can climb into the tens of thousands; tightening margins and reshaping deals.

This doesn’t impact typical residential resales, but in the commercial space, it’s a real shift.
