Home affordability finds its footing, but rising rates could change that
We’re seeing a positive shift in home affordability across Canada, thanks in large part to falling home prices—especially in major markets like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montréal. In August, the average five-year fixed mortgage rate edged up to 4.55%, but for now, this has had only a minimal effect on monthly payments. As someone who’s spent more than a decade working with families and investors in Vancouver’s West Side and the UBC area, I know how quickly the landscape can change when interest rates move. It’s encouraging to see affordability improving, but it’s important to keep a close eye on mortgage trends as we navigate this ever-evolving market. My approach is always rooted in up-to-date insights and a commitment to making your real estate journey as informed and seamless as possible.

Toronto, Vancouver housing still hugely desirable despite recent challenges
Despite the challenges we’re seeing in the Vancouver and Toronto markets—like high housing costs impacting Quality of Life scores—these cities remain among the most sought-after places to live worldwide, ranking 20th and 24th globally for their strong economies. Here in Vancouver, particularly on the West Side and around UBC, I’ve seen firsthand how demand continues to outpace supply. Canada needs to build between 430,000 and 480,000 homes each year to address affordability, but we’re not quite there yet. Navigating these realities takes local insight and a strategic approach, whether you’re searching for a family home or considering an investment. My focus remains on guiding clients with clarity and care through Vancouver’s ever-evolving market.

Vancouver Resales Edge Up
Vancouver’s resale market just reached a milestone—resales climbed nearly 10% month-over-month, surpassing 2,000 homes for the first time in nine months. While prices continue to ease, the decline has slowed, with the local home price index down about 6% year-over-year. That points to a softer environment, but not a dramatic downturn.

Economic uncertainty—especially from trade tensions—has certainly weighed on buyer confidence. Yet, Vancouver still managed a clear month-over-month gain in resales. An economist recently described this as a temporary detour rather than a shift in direction, suggesting the market deserves close, informed attention rather than alarm.

With over 13 years of experience helping clients navigate Vancouver’s ever-evolving real estate landscape, I’ve seen firsthand how our market responds to both local and global pressures. The outlook calls for stabilization through the rest of 2026 and into 2027, and, as always, understanding these nuances is key to making confident decisions—especially in unique neighborhoods like Vancouver’s West Side and the UBC area. Staying informed is essential, and I’m committed to providing guidance rooted in experience and integrity as the market unfolds.

Vancouver Housing Stays Globally Desirable
Vancouver remains one of the world’s most sought-after cities, recently ranking 24th out of 1,000 global cities—a testament to our city’s enduring appeal and vibrant economic landscape. This recognition highlights what I see daily in my work across Vancouver’s West Side and UBC: a city rich in opportunity and talent, yet shaped by the realities of housing affordability. With a median multiple near 11, Vancouver stands out as one of the least affordable major markets. As many of my clients know, the share of income devoted to housing here is higher than in almost any other city, influencing every decision buyers and sellers make. Recent reports point to a supply gap and slower housing starts through 2026 as key factors in why broader affordability improvements haven’t yet reached our local market. For those navigating these complexities—whether considering a family home or an investment—local insight and experience are more important than ever. My commitment is to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence, even as our city continues to balance global desirability with the challenges of affordability.

Will Vancouver Finally Rebound in 2027?
As someone who’s spent over 13 years guiding clients through the ups and downs of Vancouver’s real estate market, I’m often asked what’s next for our city—especially as we look toward 2027. Even with some recent improvements, Vancouver continues to rank among Canada’s least affordable housing markets. We’ve seen B.C. housing experience weaker demand and a higher level of inventory—factors that have added ongoing pressure as we move closer to 2027. According to TD, B.C. home prices are expected to start turning positive during 2027, following a period of softness. Interestingly, we might see sales activity pick up before price growth gains real momentum. In my work—especially throughout the West Side and UBC area—I’ve witnessed how local shifts can open up opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Understanding these trends is key to making confident decisions, whether you’re seeking a family home or investment property.

Vancouver, Winnipeg Expand Housing with Resilient Flood Zone Plans
As someone deeply immersed in Vancouver’s real estate landscape, I keep a close watch on how our city’s growth intersects with environmental realities. Recent StatsCan data highlights that cities like Vancouver, Winnipeg, Chatham-Kent, and Chilliwack are seeing more homes built in high flood hazard areas. In fact, recent construction has increased in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and B.C., as part of broader efforts to address housing supply. With Vancouver’s ongoing push for new homes, especially in areas such as the West Side and near UBC, it’s more important than ever for buyers and investors to be aware of flood risk factors as part of their decision-making process. My approach is always to guide clients with an eye toward both opportunity and long-term security, ensuring you have the information needed to make confident choices in this evolving market.
