Last week, GVR Chief Corporate Development Officer Craig Munn presented and participated in a panel discussion at a Vancouver conference focused on Indigenous economic development.

During his presentation, Craig highlighted the work underway at GVR to strengthen relationships between the REALTOR® community and Indigenous communities across Canada. This work is focused on supporting economic development, increasing understanding, and fostering stronger partnerships within the rapidly growing Indigenous-led development sector.

These efforts align with several initiatives currently underway at GVR to build awareness, create meaningful connections, and identify opportunities for collaboration. Members and staff can expect to hear more about new partnerships and initiatives in the coming months.

This work also connects closely to Transforming Landscapes, the joint research initiative recently launched by GVR and the Real Estate Institute of BC (REIBC). The project aims to advance understanding of Indigenous participation and opportunities within the real estate profession and broader real estate sector, helping inform future collaboration and growth.

A lagging apartment segment dragged Metro Vancouver’s monthly sales total lower in May, with residential sales down 3.5% compared to the same month last year and 26.6% below the 10-year seasonal average.

Meanwhile, inventory remained elevated, with nearly 16,900 homes listed for sale across the region. With demand continuing to track closely with forecasts and no obvious near-term market catalysts on the horizon, conditions remain calm and orderly heading into summer.

While detached home sales edged up and attached home sales remained relatively steady, slower apartment sales weighed on overall market activity.
