This is Jordan. He is 20 years old, a university student, and cleaning windows for Window Wonders is his summer job.

AND he cleaned our windows and did a fabulous job! Window Wonders is on my Vendor Partner List and I was really impressed with this student owned company after I checked their references. Two of their references were West Vancouver home owners with huge houses. They were hired while DOOR KNOCKING, which definitely takes courage.
They got rave reviews.
Let me know if you need anyone from my list OR you have anyone great FOR my list. It doesn't have to be just home related.

Tom Glamuzina is a young entrpreneur who operates his own junk removal company. He was referred to me by another junk removal company owner, as a young man doing great work.

I called him, we had coffee, I called 3 of his references and now he is on my Vendor Partner List. People loved him and his team!

Part of my job which gives me the most joy, is helping my clients, not just to buy and sell their homes, but while they OWN the home. Tom is one of many businesses that I love to support, businesses that also help my clients with all sorts of jobs from landscaping their back yard to replacing bathroom floor tiles.

Let me know if you need anything or anyone. You don't need to be a Buyer or a Seller, or even a home owner. I was referred the most wonderful naturopath from the reference for a painter who was referred to me by a client.
See how this works!

Metro Vancouver May 2026 Market Highlights

May brought longer days and renewed interest from households considering a move. The market remains balanced, with buyers taking a thoughtful approach and benefiting from more choice.

Residential sales totalled 2,150 homes, down 3.5% compared to May 2025 and 26.6% below the 10-year seasonal average.
New listings reached 6,115 properties, a 7.6% decrease from last year but still slightly above the 10-year seasonal average, providing buyers with a healthy selection of homes to consider.

The overall sales-to-active listings ratio was 13.1%, indicating balanced market conditions. By property type:

Detached homes: 10.7%
Attached homes: 15.4%
Apartments: 14.2%

Historically, a sales-to-active listings ratio below 12% for a sustained period can place downward pressure on prices, while a ratio above 20% can lead to upward pressure.

Detached Homes
Sales increased slightly, with 660 homes sold, up 0.9% compared to May 2025.
The benchmark price was $1,847,900, down 6.9% year-over-year but up 0.4% from April, suggesting some short-term price stability.

Apartments
Apartment sales reached 1,009 homes, down 7.2% from last year.
The benchmark price was $697,800, down 7.9% year-over-year and 0.7% compared to April, showing continued softness in this segment.

Attached Homes (Townhomes)
Sales totalled 463 homes, a 1.3% decrease compared to May 2025.
The benchmark price was $1,048,200, down 5.1% year-over-year but up 0.5% from April.

What this means for buyers and sellers:
Buyers continue to have more options and time to make informed decisions.
Sellers who price appropriately and present their homes well are seeing stronger engagement.

Market conditions continue to vary by property type, location, and price point, making local market knowledge more important than ever.

How much FLEX SPACE do you really need?

One of the most common questions buyers ask isn't about finishes—it's whether a home will still work a few years from now.

A den, spare bedroom, bonus room, or finished basement can make a big difference as life changes. Working from home, welcoming a new family member, hosting guests, or creating space for hobbies all become easier when a home has room to adapt.

When looking at a property, focus less on the label and more on how the space functions. A well-designed den can sometimes be more useful than an extra bedroom that's rarely used.

A good question to ask yourself: Will this home still work for me 3–5 years from now?

The most valuable space isn't always the largest—it's the space that can adapt as your needs change.

What would your ideal flex space be? A home office, guest room, gym, craft room, or something else?

RENOVATE OR SELL AS-IS?

Spring brings momentum—and a common question: should you renovate before listing, or sell as-is?

In 2026, buyers are more thoughtful and quick to factor in uncertainty. That doesn’t mean you need a full renovation. It means focusing on the right level of preparation.

The goal: reduce friction, not chase perfection
Before spending money, ask:
Will this broaden the buyer pool?
Will it improve the first impression?
Will it reduce “what else is hiding?” concerns?

If yes, it’s worth considering. If it’s mainly personal taste, it may not move the result.

Quick wins (usually worth it)
Simple updates that improve how your home shows:
Fresh paint and minor patching
Brighter, consistent lighting
Fix small repairs (doors, taps, trim, caulking)
Deep clean and declutter
Create a functional, welcoming entry

These help buyers feel confident without needing to imagine potential.

Money pits (usually avoid before listing)
High-cost projects that don’t always pay back:
Full kitchen or bathroom renovations
Major layout changes
Large exterior projects without clear timelines
Highly personalized design choices

If you’re spending at this level, it should be for your own use—not just resale.

What buyers are paying for right now:
Move-in readiness (not perfection, just less work)
Clear documentation and maintenance history
Functional layouts that support daily life

The common thread is simplicity—homes that feel easy to understand.

What this means across B.C.:
While each market is a bit different, the pattern is consistent

Metro Vancouver: presentation and condition matter more

Sea to Sky: function and durability stand out

Okanagan: outdoor space and usability carry weight

Sunshine Coast: maintenance history and predictability matter

Across the board, thoughtful preparation tends to outperform major renovations.

The takeaway:
In this market, clarity wins.

For most sellers, the best approach is:
A targeted refresh
Strong presentation
Clear, upfront information

Not sure which direction makes the most sense for your home?
Reach out—happy to walk through it with you and help you decide what’s actually worth doing.

What's Your Real Estate Strategy?

Spring can get busy when you are buying OR selling
Preparation wins.

For Sellers in a Buyer's market:
• Edit hard — consider it pre-packing
• Clean and clear everything — windows, lightbulbs, baseboards, counters.
• Fix the small stuff — drips, scuffs, loose handles.
• Create a Buyer's package — list of upgrades, maintenance, key details.

For Buyers
• Define your non-negotiables before touring.
• Refresh financing and clarify your deposit plan.
• Walk neighbourhoods at real-life times.
• Don't wait when you find something that checks most of the boxes — multiple offers still happen in this market
