SHOULD THE BAN ON FOREIGN BUYER'S GO OR STAY?

Canada's federal ban on foreign purchases of residential real estate is currently scheduled to expire January 1, 2027.

Will the government allow it to expire? More importantly, should they?
I believe this deserves a much bigger discussion.

Logically, restrictions on foreign purchasing should have their greatest impact in markets that have historically attracted significant international investment and immigration. The two obvious examples are Toronto and Vancouver, Canada's two largest economies. To some extent, housing markets across the rest of the country are also influenced by what happens in these two major markets.

Look at what has happened to available inventory since the ban came in.
Compared with the extremely tight market of 2021, active housing inventory has increased approximately:
Toronto: +168%
Vancouver: +67%

Those are enormous increases in the number of homes available to buyers—and additional inventory was desperately needed.

Now look at prices.

From their 2022 peaks, residential values have declined approximately:
Toronto: -24.8%
Vancouver: -20.8%

That doesn't mean the same thing has happened everywhere in Canada. Some markets have remained relatively flat, while others have actually increased.
It also certainly doesn't mean the foreign buyer ban caused these corrections by itself.

This is where I think much of the commentary about real estate in the press misses something I call the VECTOR PRINCIPLE.

There is never just one force determining the direction of a real estate market.

Think of the market as being pushed and pulled by numerous vectors, each operating in a different direction and with a different magnitude:
• Interest rates
• Employment
• Immigration and population growth
• Housing inventory
• Consumer confidence
• Affordability
• Economic growth
• Domestic government policy
• Foreign government policy and global events
• Taxes and regulation
• Availability of credit
• Investor activity

The ultimate direction of the real estate market is the sum of all of those forces/vectors.

I have been tracking Canadian Real Estate Statistics for roughly 30 years, and both Toronto and Vancouver markets have historically been remarkably resilient. By 2022, however, they had become severely overheated and a correction was badly needed.

That correction has now been substantial.

I am not suggesting that the foreign buyer ban single-handedly caused inventory to rise or prices to fall. Interest rates alone have obviously been an enormous force during this period.

What I am suggesting is that the foreign buyer ban has been one significant vector among many, particularly in Toronto and Vancouver.

And if we remove that vector on January 1, 2027, what happens next?

Should Canada extend the foreign buyer ban—or is it time to let it expire?

I'd be interested to hear what you think.

When you ask your REALTOR® to cancel your listing you should first be aware of a few things:

1. There is no such thing as firing your REALTOR®. You have a contract between 2 parties and those parties are the you the seller and the Real Estate brokerage. The listing is not actually with your REALTOR®. Effectively, the only way this can be cancelled is by mutual consent of both the parties.

2. The form for canceling a listing has a very important clause in the middle of it. This clause states that, even after the cancellation form is signed by all parties, if the property sells within 60 days of the signing of the cancellation form or within the original listing period outlined in the contract, whichever is sooner, you, the seller, would likely still owe a commission. If you are not aware of this clause and you have relisted it with another brokerage and sold it you could potentially become liable for two commissions. Any competent REALTOR® will search to find the status of your listing and ask you for a copy of your cancellation before considering taking your listing. What they are looking for is whether you have a conditional or unconditional cancellation. They may ask you, "Did your previous REALTOR® stroke the clause?"

3. The REALTOR® and/or the brokerage effectively have the right to refuse to cancel a listing. It is expensive to market a listing and if the listing is cancelled the REALTOR® loses that marketing money with no possibility to recoup it.

4. This post is particularly relevant now because many sellers are frustrated that their property is not selling. Sellers tend to look at the REALTOR® as the cause. However, the reason a listing is not selling is almost always the price. Even if the listing is simply marketed on the MLS system/realtor.ca that is by far the most effective and aggressive marketing that is available to the REALTOR®. A "Dirty Little Secret" in our business is that if it is on the market for 30 days or more and it is not selling then it's overpriced. Prices have dropped in the last 2 years right across British Columbia and no one likes to take a loss.

5. Lastly, cancelling a listing is a complicated venture. It is a good idea to get legal advice and know your rights prior to pulling that trigger.

(This is a legal issue. Anyone dealing with a significant property defect should obtain advice from a qualified lawyer based on the particular circumstances.)

A "latent defect" is a defect that would NOT normally be discovered through a reasonable inspection of the property.

A patent defect is the opposite: it is a defect that is visible or should reasonably be discovered through inspection. As a general rule, buyers are responsible for investigating patent defects under the principle of caveat emptor, meaning “buyer beware.” This is an important distinction at Common Law. Buyers generally believe that there should not be defects in a house when they buy but there is always something. Buyers should be aware that most of the onus is on them and their REALTOR® to do their own inspections. However, a seller must not conceal a defect or make a false or misleading statement about the property.

The word "Material" means it is important or substantial.

In British Columbia, a Material Latent Defect (MLD) may include a hidden defect that:

* makes the property dangerous or potentially dangerous;
* makes it unfit for habitation;
* makes it unsuitable for the buyer’s known intended use;
* would involve great expense to repair;

Known material latent defects must be disclosed. A seller has disclosure obligations at common law, while a real estate licensee has a broader disclosure duty under the Real Estate Services Rules. If the licensee knows about a material latent defect, it must be disclosed to the other parties before they enter into an agreement. If the seller refuses to permit the required disclosure, the licensee must stop providing trading services in that transaction.

Proving a seller knew is an important part of a legal claim. It is extremely difficult to succeed in any legal action if you cannot prove the seller knew about the defect.

A repaired defect requires careful consideration. If the problem was fully and properly repaired, it may no longer constitute a current material latent defect and therefore does not have to be disclosed.

In British Columbia there is a form called a "Property Disclosure Form". This form covers Material Latent Defects. If you are buying pay close attention to this form and review it with your REALTOR®.

When choosing a REALTOR® it is important to make sure they are properly trained and educated on the Real Estate challenges like MLD's. Our REALTORS® are of the highest and best trained REALTORS® in the industry. I would be happy to recommend one in your area.

BCREA (British Columbia Real Estate Association) is anticipating a slightly better year in 2027 than 2026, but the improvement is expected to be slow and gradual, with the market continuing to face challenges from persistent geopolitical volatility.

In my opinion, this is nothing to get excited about—YET.

Sales remain relatively flat in the Interior and are down in the Lower Mainland. As anticipated last year, 2026 is turning out to be somewhat better than 2025, but we’re still a long way from what I would call a strong market.

There are a few reasons for cautious optimism heading into 2027, including:

• The federal foreign buyer ban is scheduled to end January 1, 2027

• A potentially different political climate in the U.S. following the midterm elections

• The possibility of a new Canada-U.S. trade agreement

• And the hope that the conflict involving Iran will come to an end, one way or another, sooner rather than later

So, better? Probably.

Boom? Not likely.

Something to get excited about? Not yet.

As always, the market will ultimately be driven by interest rates, affordability, consumer confidence, employment and—perhaps more than anything right now—what happens geopolitically.
