Hi Friends!

I joined CBC anchor Dan Burritt during the evening news hour to discuss the housing policies and proposals put forth by the BC NDP as well as the BC United party.

You can check out the 3-minute segment below if you’re interested!

If you have any questions surrounding the changes for first-time home buyers, or any other real estate questions, send me a DM!

Enjoy your evening 😊

Housing has been top of mind for many British Columbians since the 2024 budget was revealed last month, both from the NDP government and BC United Opposition...

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for real estate policy makers - nationally, provincially and locally, here in Vancouver.

Canada removed the GST payable on the construction of rental housing, in an effort to incentivize developers to build in an environment of higher interest rates & borrowing costs.

Provincially, BC released more details surrounding their plan to legalize secondary suites across the province, including offering select homeowners up to $40,000 in forgiveable loans towards the construction of secondary rental suites.

Lastly, Vancouver approved the amalgamation of 9 single-family zones into one inclusive zoning, allowing for multiplexes from 3-8 units per lot.

I cover all of these changes in this week’s video.

As always, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions on the market and how it affects your own real estate situation & goals.

Happy Saturday!

Happy Friday Friends!

The Bank of Canada raised their key interest rate on Wednesday, and I was interviewed by CBC Vancouver for their headline story which aired during the 6pm news hour.

Here is a link to the story including my take on whether this rate hike will help with the ongoing battle against inflation.

Cheers, & have a great weekend!

The Bank of Canada has raised its key interest rate by 25 basis points — to 4.75 — the highest in 22 years. And, as the CBC's Zahra Premji reports, that's l...

We won this property against multiple offers without being the highest priced offer - and with subjects as well. Sometimes the way you structure an offer and communicate with the listing agent during the days leading up to offer presentation makes all the difference.

This was not an easy deal to put together, and required weeks of negotiations, and working with suppliers to ensure customizations met my clients needs perfectly. A big thank you to Aly for working on this one non-stop; happy to finally put this one together with you, and also happy to not be on the phone with you constantly anymore. 😅

When I have the privilege of helping newcomers to Canada purchase real estate, I always think back to how my own family’s journey began in this amazing country. I remember the feeling when my family finally bought our first home after years of saving up a small downpayment, any way we could - and it’s amazing to be a part of this same feeling for others.

Thank you for your hard work on this one, and for your great teamwork to make this happen for G & D.
