Home affordability improves in most Canadian markets
After 27 years living and working in Vancouver, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly the real estate landscape can shift. In August, home prices dropped in most major Canadian cities, and affordability improved in 10 out of 13 markets. For buyers watching Toronto, that city actually saw the biggest improvement in affordability, while Halifax, Ottawa, and Fredericton faced the opposite trend. Of course, fixed mortgage rates also climbed up to 4.24%—a reminder that every market movement comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities.

For those of us in Greater Vancouver, it’s another sign of how important it is to track both local price trends and national shifts. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasoned investor, or planning your next move, knowing when affordability opens up—and how changing rates might impact your decision—can make all the difference. My approach has always been to dig deep into the data and market trends, so clients can make investment decisions with confidence and clarity. In markets like these, a well-timed strategy can mean securing a home at the right price, just like I did for a family who purchased for $300K under asking. Every shift is a new opportunity to find value.

Vancouver Resales Edge Up
Vancouver’s resale housing market is showing signs of resilience. In the latest figures, resales climbed about 10% month-over-month, crossing the 2,000-home mark for the first time in nine months—a meaningful shift for buyers and sellers alike. Prices continue to ease, but the decline has moderated, with the local home price index down around 6% year-over-year. This suggests a softer environment, but not the kind of sharp drop some may have feared.

As someone who has called Vancouver home for nearly three decades and helped clients from first-time buyers to seasoned investors, I know how headlines and global events—like these ongoing trade tensions—can rattle buyer confidence. Even in this climate, Vancouver’s market showed a clear gain this month. One economist recently described the slowdown as a detour, not a turning point. I tend to agree: what we’re witnessing is a period to observe closely, not panic over.

Looking ahead, forecasts point to stabilization through the rest of 2026 and into 2027. For those considering their next move or investment, this type of nuanced market is where experience and local insight make the difference. My approach—grounded in careful analysis and a passion for helping clients make sound decisions—remains the same, no matter the cycle.

Vancouver Housing Stays Globally Desirable
After 27 years calling Vancouver home, I’ve seen firsthand why this city continues to be one of the world’s most desirable places to live—even as affordability remains a challenge. Vancouver recently ranked 24th out of 1,000 global cities, holding its spot in the top 25 thanks to strong economic fundamentals and a deep well of human talent. Yet, despite our worldwide appeal, the reality is that housing affordability weighs heavily on many residents. A recent study put our median multiple near 11, which means Vancouver stands among the least affordable major markets. Many here devote a larger share of their income to housing than almost anywhere else—something I encounter daily with clients, whether they’re first-time buyers, investors, or families seeking their next home. The supply gap and slower housing starts projected through 2026 help explain why broader affordability improvements haven’t fully reached buyers. As someone who specializes in Greater Vancouver real estate investment, I’m always analyzing these trends to help clients make informed decisions, whether it’s finding value or navigating the market’s complexities. Vancouver’s allure is undeniable, but understanding the numbers behind the dream is key to making the right move.

Toronto, Vancouver housing still hugely desirable despite recent challenges
After 27 years living and working in Vancouver, I’ve witnessed firsthand why both Vancouver and Toronto remain magnets for buyers and investors across the globe. It’s no surprise these cities are ranked 20th and 24th internationally—our strong economies continue to draw attention, even as affordability challenges persist. High housing costs have impacted overall Quality of Life scores, and it’s clear that to truly improve affordability, Canada would need to add between 430,000 and 480,000 new homes every year—a target we haven’t yet reached. For those navigating our local market, having a deep understanding of these dynamics is essential, whether you’re looking for your family’s next home or seeking smart investment opportunities. I’ve always believed that success here isn’t just about finding a property; it’s about having the right strategy and local insight to make the most of what this vibrant city offers.

Home sales remain low but recovering slowly, says BCREA
It’s been a quieter season for BC real estate, with residential sales dropping 4.8% in August for a total of $5.2 billion, and average home prices nudging down by 1% to $924,826. We’ve also seen sales volume decline by 5.5% to 46,069 homes across the province, while Greater Vancouver experienced a 1.3% dip in prices and a 3.6% reduction in sales.

After 27 years in Vancouver, I’ve learned that our market moves in cycles—sometimes quickly, sometimes with a bit more patience required. These latest numbers are a reminder for buyers and investors: opportunities can surface in quieter times, especially for those who understand the subtle shifts in neighborhoods and pricing. My experience guiding everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned investors has taught me that a careful, data-driven approach leads to the best results, even in slower periods. If you’re weighing your next move or thinking about investment potential, now is the time to look closely at the details and stay focused on your long-term goals.

Canada Housing Could Look Very Different in 2027
Looking ahead to 2027, we're likely to see some real changes in the Canadian housing landscape. According to CMHC, conditions should gradually improve as both incomes and the economy strengthen. While sales are expected to recover, activity will probably remain lower than what we saw in the previous decade—a sign of a new normal setting in. The latest CREA forecast points to only modest national price growth, suggesting stability rather than another rapid surge. For buyers, this could mean more options and negotiating room, as higher inventory and lighter demand in some markets take hold.

In my 27 years navigating Vancouver’s real estate market, I’ve learned that timing, market knowledge, and a tailored approach are everything—especially for investors and families looking for the right opportunity. As someone deeply passionate about both property and the investment side, I always keep a close eye on trends like these to help clients make the most informed decisions possible. Whether you’re buying your first home or seeking your next investment, understanding these shifts will be key to finding value and securing the best outcome.

Canada’s Housing Market Eyes 2027 Recovery
After spending nearly three decades living and working in Vancouver, I’ve seen how quickly the real estate landscape can shift—and how vital it is to read between the lines of every new forecast. Recent market updates point to early signs of stability: resales are picking up, inventory levels have flattened, and price declines have slowed, all as affordability and employment trends begin to restore some buyer confidence.

One thing I’m watching closely is the timing of buyers who pressed pause over the last year or two. Many of these folks have been quietly shoring up their finances, and with stronger savings and improved employment, they may be ready to re-enter the market sooner than some expect.

The forecast for 2026 projects resales dropping about 4% to 453,000 and benchmark prices easing 2% to around $794,000 before a modest rebound is expected in 2027. With borrowing costs hovering near their lows and the central bank expected to hold steady on rates, there’s reason for cautious optimism—though trade tensions and energy shocks remain wild cards.

Analysts see resales and prices rising across every province in 2027, but the recovery is expected to be steady rather than dramatic. For those thinking about timing their move or investment, this kind of market—marked by gradual shifts and opportunities for strategic decisions—is where local experience and sharp analysis really make a difference. I’m always passionate about helping clients navigate complex cycles like these, ensuring every decision is grounded in market reality and aimed at long-term value.
