Same Clients. Same Realtor. Slightly Bigger Numbers. If you want to make yourself completely dizzy, look up what a piece of Vancouver real estate cost back in 1996 compared to today. 📈🥴

These incredible clients were actually among the very first people to trust me with their real estate journey nearly 30 years ago. While the local market has done quite a few loops and added some serious zeros since the 90s, I’m happy to report that one thing remains absolutely unchanged: False Creek living is still the ultimate lifestyle.

Case in point, their beautiful new home at 49-1425 Lamey’s Mill Road.

Sure, a local down payment today could have easily bought an entire city block or a small private island back when we first started out. But can you walk to the Granville Island Public Market from a private island?

Waking up steps from the Seawall, watching the water taxis buzz by, and having this massive, private outdoor domain to escape the city noise proves that the Vancouver lifestyle is still worth every single penny. ☀️🍷

A huge congratulations to my long-time clients on securing this absolute unicorn of a property in a fully rainscreened, concrete boutique building. Helping friends transition through different chapters of their lives is exactly why I’m still in this business after three decades. Cheers to the new owners! 🥂🔑

Having lived very close to this location for years, I can tell you that this specific spot is a world of its own. And finding a private, 772sf patio in a solid concrete boutique building here? Honestly, that’s almost like finding a unicorn. 🦄

Most patios this size in Vancouver are ground level, which usually means people are staring into your living room from the sidewalk. This one is different. It’s elevated, secure, and tucked away in a quiet sanctuary just east of Burrard. Almost hidden if you didn’t know it was there.

We’re talking about over 2,100sf of total indoor-outdoor living space. Between the signature window wall and the A/C inside, the transition is seamless. The location is perfect, you’re steps from Granville Island, Kits shopping and the Seawall, but when you’re on that deck, it feels like you’re miles away from the city noise.

I’ve seen a lot of unique listings in 30 years, and this is one of them. Plus, it comes with a massive 10’ x 10’ private storage room and 2 parking stalls. It’s ready for the next owner, just in time for patio season. 🥂

DM me if you want the floor plan or a private look at this one. 🔑

Technology has made real estate a whole lot easier since I started in 1996, but those early days were something else.

Being a Realtor in Greater Vancouver back then meant no internet, no social media, and zero "dedicated" software. Instead, we had the "Big White Book", a 10lb MLS catalog that arrived twice a week and was out of date by lunch. If you didn’t sell a house with it, you could at least use it as a doorstop or get a quick workout in.

My "GPS" was a paper map I’d try to read while doing 80km/h through the suburbs. My "high-speed internet" was a pager that would send me sprinting to the nearest payphone, which usually smelled like a locker room, just to keep a deal from falling apart. 📟📞

No DocuSign either. Just a car full of files and four hours in Lower Mainland traffic to get a single signature in person. It was manual, it was messy, and it’s exactly why I don’t break a sweat when the market gets "interesting" today.

If I could close deals with a pocket full of quarters and a paper map, I can handle 2026 😊

Drop a comment if you remember the "Big White Book" era or tell me the one piece of old tech you don't miss. 👇

If the current real estate market feels like a rollercoaster, you aren't alone. But here’s the secret: every "unprecedented" market has a precedent. 📉🏡

In my 30 years as a residential realtor here in BC, I’ve guided clients through every type of economic weather. I’ve learned that maximizing value for a seller or finding the perfect entry point for a buyer isn’t about luck, it’s about intimate knowledge of market cycles.

I don’t just show you the "now." I show you what’s coming next based on decades of boots-on-the-ground experience.

Total transparency means telling you the truth, even when it’s not what you want to hear, so you can make the best decision for your future. Let’s trade your anxiety for a concrete plan.

KITS BEACH: 126 Years of Perspective

I spent many years living at West 1st and Yew St, and I can’t tell you how many times I walked down to the beach and around Kits Point. I’ve always enjoyed seeing the old photos and reading about Vancouver history so I thought I’d make a 126 year visual timeline of Kits Beach from approx. the same location to really appreciate the changes. Before the coffee shops and the world-class pool, it was just Greer’s Beach, a rugged, forested "tent city" for pioneers.

It’s wild to think that in 1900, people were "vacationing" in canvas tents exactly where we now watch the tankers and sunsets. By 1931, the pool was built (apparently it even had the occasional visit from mud sharks and octopuses back then!), and the transition into the Kits we love today really began.

Every time I check out the seawall and beach these days, I try to see the ghosts of those 1908 beach shacks.

Which version of Kits would you have wanted to experience? I’m stuck between the 1909 Boathouse era and the modern-day sunsets we get now.

Has anyone swam in the pool when it had the sandy bottom, or I’m not sure when run-ins with ocean sea life in the pool ended… I’d love to hear your stories or old Kits memories in the comments! 👇

A lot of people are asking about the current state of the market, so I wanted to provide a quick update on present market conditions based on the latest February data.

The "New Normal" is starting to take shape. Sales are currently 28.7% below the 10-year average, but surprisingly, we aren't seeing a flood of new inventory. In fact, new listings are down 7% compared to last year.

With the sales-to-active ratio sitting at 12.6%, we are at a critical tipping point for property values.

The Quick Breakdown:
📍 Detached: $1,835,900
📍 Townhouse: $1,046,100
📍 Apartment: $708,200

The upcoming Spring market is going to be the ultimate test for BC real estate prices.

It’s official, BC! This Sunday, March 8th, is the final time we’ll have to mess with our clocks. Premier Eby just confirmed we are moving to Permanent Daylight Saving Time. For my fellow sunlight lovers and homeowners, this is a game-changer:

🏔️ Golden Hour Year-Round: More light for those after-work mountain views and evening walks.

🥂 Showings in the Sun: No more touring homes in the pitch black at 4:30 PM in December.

🧘 Lifestyle First: A massive win for our collective mental health and "Urban Serenity."

We’re gaining an extra hour of light this Sunday, and we’re keeping it forever.

Tell me in the comments: Are you Team "Permanent Summer Sun" ☀️ or are you going to miss that extra hour of sleep in the fall? 👇

I’m thrilled to announce the successful sale of this rare sanctuary at Century by Ledingham McAllister.

In a market where buyers are discerning, quality is still the ultimate currency. We showcased the "Vertical Advantage" of those 11’ ceilings and the bespoke 9” oak floors to find the perfect match for this Fraserhood gem. 🥂

Why this home stood out:

Top Floor Peace: No neighbors above and a quiet, east-facing outlook.

Designer DNA: Custom wainscoting, Ultrawood oak flooring and premium LED upgrades throughout.

The View: Unobstructed mountain panoramas from a private balcony.
