The foreign buyer ban ends January 1. Plenty of people are reading that as the door swinging open.

In BC, it isn’t.

The federal ban lifts. BC’s 20% additional property transfer tax on foreign buyers stays exactly where it is, across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Capital Region, Central Okanagan and Nanaimo. One lock comes off. The other one doesn’t.

Here’s the part that catches people out. The rules count the purchase from the contract date, not the completion date. Signing in late December for a March completion is not the same as signing in January, and there’s no transitional rule that fixes it.

We went through what changes on January 1, what doesn’t, and what to watch between now and then. Link in bio.

Congratulations A&A on the purchase of their new home!

This one was all about patience. We got to know this home weeks before it came together, stayed on top of every sale in the neighbourhood, and waited for the right moment. When it came, our buyers were ready and knew exactly where they stood.

In a tougher market, the right advice matters more than ever. Knowing the micro-market, and having the relationships to have honest conversations with the agents on the other side, is how our clients make informed decisions with confidence.

A big thank you to listing agents 🏘 MARNI & SHANNON Vancouver Realtors. Great agents on the other side of the table make all the difference, and you made this a smooth, positive experience for everyone.

Thinking about buying on the West Side? Let’s talk.

Buying a condo remotely can be daunting, but with a little extra coordination and the right people involved, it can absolutely be done!

Our clients recently purchased this condo in the heart of UBC, and we managed the entire process while they were out of town. From FaceTime property tours and videos of the homes we viewed, to attending the home inspection virtually, we made sure they had the information they needed to feel comfortable and confident in their purchase.

A big part of what we do is connecting our clients with people we know and trust. Big thanks to Faisal Vallani | Vancouver Mortgages at RBC who helped with financing, and Douville & Co who looked after the home inspection. We were also able to connect our clients with trusted trades to help with a few repairs. These are relationships we’ve built over many years, and they’re an important part of how we look after our clients, both during a purchase and long after.

Congratulations to our clients on their new home at UBC! We’re so pleased we could help make it happen, even from a distance.

And a special thank you to Ernest Chi the listing agent who was a pleasure to work with from our very first viewing. Having good people on both sides of a transaction really does make a difference. When everyone communicates well and works together, the process is that much smoother for our clients.

It’s often the little things behind the scenes that make the biggest difference in a real estate transaction, and those are the things we take pride in looking after.

Whenever someone asks us how the market is, our honest answer is that it depends which market they mean.

Vancouver isn't one market. It's dozens of smaller ones, shaped by price range, property type and neighbourhood. A downtown condo and a Westside house can be having completely different years.

Last month was a good example. City-wide the numbers looked soft, with more listings and fewer sales. But Kitsilano detached saw one in five homes sell, while Shaughnessy sold a single house out of 83 listed. Same side of town, same month.

So the headlines are useful context, but they don't tell you much about your own place. That's the part we can help with.

We went through September area by area, Downtown, Westside and Eastside.

If you own in a strata building in Vancouver, your building has a report due December 31.

The electrical planning report is new, and it sets out what your building's electrical system can carry today, how much spare capacity there is, and what it would take to add EV charging or heat pumps. Stratas with five or more lots in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Capital Region all need one by the end of the year.

It is genuinely useful if you are buying, because it is the first properly costed picture most BC buildings have ever had of their own electrical system.

We go through what is in it and how to read it via the link below:
