Selling your home? The mistake that costs sellers the most money isn’t a low price — it’s pricing from the highest number that sounds good instead of from real sales on your street.

Right now there are about 4,700 homes for sale across Greater Vancouver, and the median asking price sits around $1.39 million. That means people looking for a home have real choice — they compare yours against the one next door. Homes in Vancouver have been selling for about 97% of asking price, and 333 listings cut their price by about 10% on average. A high starting price usually just turns into a cut later.

So before you choose who lists your home, ask these four things: which homes sold on my street and how do they compare, what’s the plan for the first week, show me the net sheet so I can see what I actually keep, and which repairs are worth doing. A home in Kitsilano and one in Dunbar can need completely different plans.

Vancouver households earning $85,000 are buying $1.1M homes — here's how.

📞 Ken Wong, REALTOR® · 604-338-3045
💬 Comment "GUIDE" and I'll DM you the guide.

📊 THE REAL MATH
Average home: $1.1M
Average household income: $85K
Income needed: over $220K
That gap is real — and it's why nobody does this alone.

📊 INCOME STACKING
Two incomes: about $170K
Still short of the $220K needed
So dual income alone isn't the full answer

🏠 FAMILY HELP
1 in 3 first-time buyers get family support
Average gift: about $200K
That's the missing bridge for many buyers

📉 THE RULE CHANGES
Since December 2024: insured mortgages up to $1.5M
First-time buyers can stretch amortization to 30 years
Less than 20% down is now possible at higher prices

⚠️ THE HONEST HEDGE
Longer amortization means more interest paid over time
But for a long-term holder, getting in earlier can still win over waiting

🏠 IF YOU OWN: your equity is the launchpad — this is how move-up buyers are doing it too.
🏠 IF YOU'RE BUYING: you're likely combining two or more of these levers — that's the norm now.

Vancouver home prices are almost back to 2017 levels — after 9 years, the typical home is up just 3%.

📞 Ken Wong, REALTOR® · 604-338-3045
💬 Comment "GUIDE" and I'll DM you the guide.

📊 THE RAW NUMBERS
The typical Greater Vancouver home: about $1.07 million in October.

Down about $7,000 in one month, and down about $58,000 from a year ago.

📉 SINCE THE 2022 PEAK
The typical home is down almost 15% — about $184,000.

That's the lowest level since March 2021.

At peak, the typical home was about $1.25 million. Today, it's about $1.07 million.

⚠️ THE HONEST HEDGE
The number nobody mentions: the market has tried to move higher three times since 2017 — and each time it got pushed back.

But long-term holders are still ahead. Barely.

🏠 IF YOU OWN...
You're not "down" unless you sell into this. But this is where the benchmark sits right now.

🏠 IF YOU'RE BUYING...
The question has shifted from "how high will it go" to "how much runway is actually here."

Vancouver real estate in 60 seconds — the first rule matters more than any renovation.

📞 Ken Wong, REALTOR® · 604-338-3045
💬 Comment "GUIDE" and I'll DM you the guide.

🏠 THE FIRST RULE
Kitchens can change.
The street cannot.
Neighbourhood first, house second.

📊 OLD HOUSE ≠ BAD HOUSE
Get a proper inspection.
Check bones, roof, drains.
It's outlived you already.

⚠️ THE HONEST HEDGE
Buyers chase the shiny renos and skip the boring structure.
Long-term holders who bought the location still come out ahead.

🏠 IF YOU OWN
You may be sitting on a better location than you realize.

🏠 IF YOU'RE BUYING
Stop letting a dated kitchen blind you to a great street.

Moving to Vancouver? Don't pick the wrong side of the city before you know these 4 big pieces of the map.

📞 Ken Wong, REALTOR® · 604-338-3045
💬 Comment "GUIDE" and I'll DM you the guide.

📊 THE REGION AT A GLANCE
• Metro Vancouver: about 2.5 million people
• City of Vancouver: just shy of 700,000 people
• Land area: roughly 110 square kilometers
• More than 20 distinct neighborhoods

🏠 THE 4 PIECES THAT MATTER
• Downtown — tiny northern peninsula, only a few kilometers across
• The West Side
• East Van
• South Vancouver

⚠️ THE HONEST HEDGE
• Nobody mentions how fast people fall in love with one side before they've seen the trade-offs.
• You don't need all 20+ neighborhoods on day one — you need the right quadrant for your daily life.

🏠 IF YOU OWN
• You're not stuck if your current side isn't fitting anymore — the short list gets easy once you know your quadrant.

🏠 IF YOU'RE BUYING
• Narrow the map to four zones first, then compare neighborhoods inside the one that matches your routine, commute, and budget.

📚 SOURCES
• City of Vancouver neighborhood profiles
• Metro Vancouver regional data
• MLS neighborhood search history

Where you actually want to live in False Creek depends on your budget — and they are not the same neighbourhood.

📞 Ken Wong, REALTOR® · 604-338-3045
💬 Comment "GUIDE" and I'll DM you the guide.

📊 THE NEIGHBOURHOOD BREAKDOWN
False Creek South came first — mixed, livable, low-rise.
Expo 86 on the North Shore kicked off the condo boom.
Granville Island sits right in the middle of it all.
Southeast False Creek — Olympic Village — was built for 2010, then became a real place to live.

⚠️ THE HONEST HEDGE
Everyone says "False Creek" but means a completely different block — and a completely different price point.
Buy the wrong side and you pay for the name, not the lifestyle.

🏠 IF YOU OWN in False Creek South, you already know the quiet value there.
🏠 IF YOU'RE BUYING, you need to match the sub-neighbourhood to how you actually live — not just the postcard view.
