Vancouver continues to shine on the world stage, ranking 24th out of 1,000 global cities—a testament to its economic vitality and the incredible talent drawn to our region. Yet, as many of you know firsthand, our city’s desirability comes with real challenges. A recent study found Vancouver’s median multiple is close to 11, ranking us among the least affordable major markets worldwide. That means residents here are dedicating a larger share of their income to housing than almost anywhere else—a reality I see every day as I help clients navigate their options. Even as demand remains strong, a supply gap and slower housing starts projected through 2026 are keeping broader affordability improvements just out of reach for many buyers. My commitment, as always, is to guide you through these complexities with clarity and insight, so you can make the best decisions for you and your family in the communities you love.
