A rare opportunity to own in the heart of Kitsilano - now under $800K.

#207 - 3280 W Broadway offers 882 sq. ft. of well-planned living space in Westpointe, right in West Broadway Village.

This updated 2-bedroom home combines comfort, location, and lifestyle in one of Vancouver’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Inside, you’ll find updated flooring, paint, blinds, kitchen and bathroom renovations, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a cozy gas fireplace, in-suite laundry, and a functional layout that makes the space feel easy to live in.

The balcony gives you outdoor space for a BBQ, while the north-facing exposure helps keep the home cooler, with some mountain views to enjoy.

The building is well maintained, with a new roof completed in 2016 and domestic pipes replaced in 2012.

You also get 1 secured parking stall, 1 storage locker, rentals allowed, and 1 pet allowed.

The location is the real strength here: shops, cafés, transit, recreation, and the everyday convenience of West Broadway Village are right outside your door.

For buyers looking for Kitsilano lifestyle, walkability, and real value under $800K, this is worth a closer look.

What Is the Market Expecting from the Bank of Canada This Week?

This Wednesday, June 10, the Bank of Canada will announce its next interest rate decision.
Right now, the market is not expecting a surprise.

The current overnight rate is 2.25%, and Reuters recently surveyed 34 economists- all 34 expect the Bank to hold the rate unchanged.
RBC Economics is also expecting another hold, which would make this the fifth consecutive decision without a rate change. The C.D. Howe Monetary Policy Council has taken the same view.

The reason is simple: the economy is sending mixed signals.
Inflation is still not low enough to make a rate cut obvious, while Canada’s latest jobs report was stronger than expected, adding 87,800 jobs in May and bringing unemployment down to 6.6%.

That gives the Bank of Canada room to wait.
So the main question this week may not be the rate itself. It may be the tone.
Does the Bank sound cautious?
Does it signal “higher for longer”?
Or does it keep the door open for a change later this year?

For now, the consensus is clear: the market expects another hold at 2.25%.

Kitsilano Pool is back on the summer radar.
According to the City of Vancouver, Kitsilano Pool is anticipated to open in mid-June 2026. The City is also currently promoting a Splash Sale from June 1 to July 12: buy a 10-visit pass and receive 2 bonus visits free.

For Kitsilano, this is more than just a seasonal pool update.

Neighbourhood value is built by the daily experience around a home.
Beach access. Morning swims. Local cafés. Parks. Walkability. Bike routes. Community spaces. These are the details that make Kitsilano feel like Kitsilano.

When buyers look at this neighbourhood, they are not only looking at square footage, finishes, or floor plans. They are also looking at the lifestyle that comes with the address.
That is why local amenities matter.
They shape how people live, how connected a neighbourhood feels, and why certain areas continue to stand out year after year.

In Kitsilano, the home is only part of the story.
The lifestyle around it is what makes the neighbourhood so hard to replace.

If you are thinking about buying or selling in Kitsilano, it helps to work with someone who understands not only the property, but the neighbourhood around it.
For a local perspective on Kitsilano and Vancouver West Side real estate, feel free to reach out.

Metro Vancouver’s May 2026 market feels calmer than many expected.

Sales were down slightly compared to last year, and the number of available listings remains higher than normal.
In simple terms: buyers have more to look at, and sellers need to be realistic.

That does not mean the market has stopped.

Detached homes are still holding fairly steady. Apartment sales were softer in May, which pulled the overall numbers down.

So this is not one single market moving in one direction. Different property types are behaving differently.

For buyers, this can be a useful moment. More inventory means more room to compare homes, ask questions, and make a decision without feeling rushed.

For sellers, preparation matters. A well-presented home, priced correctly, still gets attention. But overpricing is easier for buyers to ignore when they have more options.

As we move into summer, I would describe the market as steady, selective, and a little more patient.

Not dramatic.
Just more careful.
And in this kind of market, guessing is not a strategy.

If you are thinking about buying or selling this summer, let’s look at your specific property, neighbourhood, and timing - then build the right plan from there.

Proud to support Dunbar Little League this season as the head coach and sponsor of the Homes By Lewis Minors team.

This is my first year sponsoring the team, but my 4th year coaching with Dunbar Little League. The Minors division is made up of Grade 3 and 4 players, and it has been great to see these kids learn the game, build confidence, and become part of something local.

As a sponsor, Homes By Lewis helps support the real costs behind the season - uniforms, field equipment, field maintenance, umpires, and everything else that helps keep the league running.

This one is personal for me. I have two kids of my own on the team, and over the years I have personally helped bring more than 20 kids from the neighbourhood into Dunbar Little League.

I have lived and worked in this area for 15 years, so supporting local families, local kids, and community sport means a lot to me.

Baseball is more than a game at this age. It is teamwork, confidence, friendship, and community.

Proud of this team and proud to be part of Dunbar Little League.

Public realm upgrades are great marketing. Until you oversell them.

Here is the clean way to mention projects like Burrard Slopes Park without making promises you cannot defend later.
Burrard Slopes Park is approved at the concept plan level.
That means the direction is officially confirmed.
It does not mean construction is immediate.

Use this simple three level wording.
1. Approved concept plan.
Safe wording: “Concept plan approved.”
Meaning: the project is real and the intent is set, but details can still change.
2. Detailed design.
Safe wording: “Moving into detailed design.”
Meaning: the real specifics get locked in here - layout, access, lighting, trees, materials.
3. Phasing and delivery.
Safe wording: “Phased timeline.”
Meaning: most public realm projects are multi-year. Do not say “soon” unless there is a confirmed construction schedule.

Why this matters for realtors.
Buyers do not mind a future amenity.
They mind exaggerated timing.
Accurate status builds trust and prevents awkward questions later.

If you want, send me the nearest intersection of your listing and the project name.
I will tell you what is approved, what is still planning, and the safest one line wording to use.

Just Sold.
Congratulations to my buyer on securing this rare 1,791 sq. ft. two-level home in Arbutus Village.
This was not a typical 2-bedroom property. With 2 bedrooms, a den, a family room, 2.5 bathrooms, generous living space, and a location in one of Arbutus Village’s most sought-after concrete buildings, this home offered a combination that is hard to find on Vancouver’s West Side.
For my buyer, the appeal was clear: space, flexibility, location, and long-term value.

In a selective market, the right property still matters- especially when it offers this much usable space in an established neighbourhood.
Very happy to have represented my buyer on this successful purchase.

If you are thinking about buying in Vancouver, I would be happy to help you understand where the real opportunities are.
