Lately, I’ve been making more of an effort to shop local and support small businesses whenever I can. 🤍

This was my second visit to the Ladner Village Market, home to 160+ vendors making it one of the largest open air farmers markets in Western Canada.

For me, supporting local isn’t just about where I spend my money, I also want to use this space to share some of the small businesses I discover along the way. So give them a follow, check them out online, or keep an eye out for them at your local markets & shops!

Bestii — DrinkBestii 🫚
My second time stocking up on their ginger shots! I get the Orange Turmeric (the milder one 🌶️) and use it in everything from tea and bone broth to soups, or just take it as a shot. They also make their own ginger tea!

Sonia’s Flowers — Sonia's Flowers 🌻
They had me at the sunflowers. Their market stand is right across from their brick-and-mortar shop in Ladner Village, and they were constantly replenishing their gorgeous bouquets as they sold. Such a hardworking team!

Royal Herbs — Royal Herbs 🌿
I try to use natural cleaning products at home whenever I can, so I picked up their kitchen & bathroom cleaning spray and it smells SO good! They also carry soaps, essential oils and lots of other naturally made products.

Bad Dog Bread — Bad Dog Bread 🥖
One of the longest lineups at the market. Everything was made fresh that morning using organic BC grains, milled on-site and naturally leavened into handcrafted artisan bread. We definitely didn’t leave empty-handed… pastries were sampled and a baguette came home with us!

🏡 How’s the Metro Vancouver real estate market?

July slowed down after a stronger June.
→ Home sales ↓ 9.8% from last year
→ New listings ↓ 11.5%
→ Home prices ↓ 0.9% from June
→ More homes are still for sale than we normally see

Benchmark prices:
🏠 Detached: $1,822,900
🏢 Condo: $688,000
🔑 Townhome: $1,030,400

What does this mean? Prices are still very slowly moving down, but there hasn’t been a big shift in either direction.

Had a blast at supporting the YWCA BC and Movember Canada 🇨🇦 🦩🌴

We came in 5th out of 10 teams, not bad considering it was the first time most of us had ever tried lawn bowling! 🎳

Proud of our team, even prouder to support two incredible causes. Such a fun day, and I hope to see even more of you out there next year! 💙

🏡 June 2026 Greater Vancouver Benchmark Home Prices

Seeing home prices in different cities is interesting, but what do they actually mean for you?

Here are a few takeaways:

✨ Benchmark price ≠ average sale price. It’s a statistical measure that tracks the value of a “typical” home over time, making it one of the best ways to compare markets.

✨ Location matters. A detached home benchmark ranges from $1.32M in Port Coquitlam to over $3.04M in Vancouver West, showing how dramatically prices can vary across Metro Vancouver.

✨ Condo affordability is still creating opportunities. Areas like Surrey, Langley, and Port Coquitlam continue to offer some of the most accessible entry points into homeownership.

✨ Buying isn’t just about today’s price. Lifestyle, property taxes, commuting, schools, and long-term appreciation all play an important role when choosing where to live.

Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or investing, understanding the market is the first step toward making a confident decision.
