Lower Mainland housing market gains ground as B.C. exports retreat
As your Greater Vancouver real estate expert, I keep a close eye on local market shifts so you can make confident decisions. Recently, the Lower Mainland housing market posted a 3.6% decline in sales compared to last year, but we did see a 6.6% seasonal increase in activity. Average prices are holding steady at $1.129M. With high inventory and softer demand, buyers have more options and negotiating power right now. Meanwhile, B.C.’s exports dropped 13.6% in July while imports rose 16%—bigger economic trends that can influence our real estate landscape. My experience in the Greater Vancouver market helps me guide clients through these changing conditions, always with your goals in mind.

Is the down payment an outdated test for prospective B.C. homebuyers?
As someone who’s helped countless clients navigate the Greater Vancouver market, I’ve seen firsthand that the old focus on just saving a down payment is no longer enough for today’s B.C. homebuyers. A more complete financial approach—looking at the big picture, including managing your rent and understanding your long-term goals—makes a real difference. Finding a community that matches your lifestyle and career plans, and having open, realistic conversations about your finances, is crucial when planning for homeownership in our region. As your GREATER VANCOUVER real estate expert, I’m here to guide you through these important decisions every step of the way.

Fraser Valley Homes Become More Affordable for Buyers
As your GREATER VANCOUVER real estate expert, I’ve been closely tracking the shifting market conditions in our area—including the Fraser Valley. Right now, single-family home benchmark prices in the Fraser Valley are sitting $460,000 below their March 2022 peak. In September, we saw new listings increase by 19% from August, though they’re still 18% lower than last year. Inventory is steady—currently 31% above the 10-year average. Across the board, prices have edged down for all home types. If you’re weighing your next move, understanding these trends can make all the difference. As Your Pinoy Realtor, I’m here to help you navigate every step.

Mortgage Rates Face a New Reality
As someone who’s been helping clients navigate the Greater Vancouver real estate market for years, I keep a close eye on mortgage trends and how they impact affordability. Right now, many Canadian borrowers are feeling the pinch as borrowing costs stay high and economic uncertainty continues to shape our housing market. While a drop in rates could certainly help improve affordability, what actually happens next will depend on inflation, the broader economic outlook, and how the Bank of Canada responds. Buyers are understandably cautious, and higher financing costs are definitely affecting purchasing power, refinancing choices, and overall demand. As your GREATER VANCOUVER real estate expert, I always recommend strategic planning based on current financing realities—not just hopes for future rate cuts. It’s all about making informed decisions in today’s market.

It’s interesting to see how the real estate landscape shifts across B.C.

With 412 listings on the market, and Fort Nelson logging 43 sales worth $7.3M out of 100 listings, Northern B.C. as a whole recorded 3,654 sales adding up to $1.6B. For those of us rooted in Greater Vancouver, these numbers are a reminder of the unique factors shaping each region’s market.

Will Vancouver Prices Recover Soon?
As someone who has spent years navigating Vancouver’s dynamic real estate landscape, I’m often asked: will our home prices bounce back soon? The reality is, Vancouver prices have held steady—even with affordability challenges and a slower pace of sales. One key factor is our city’s limited land supply, which continues to fuel long-term demand across Greater Vancouver. Lately, buyers are experiencing better inventory and finding more room to negotiate, both positive shifts. Most experts expect only modest price movement for now, until lending conditions become more favorable. As your Greater Vancouver real estate expert, I keep a close pulse on these changes to help guide you through every step of your home journey.
