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 😊

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!

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!
