As someone who’s helped clients find their perfect fit in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley for over 30 years, I always keep a close eye on how our housing landscape is evolving. StatsCan recently highlighted that cities like Vancouver, Winnipeg, Chatham-Kent, and Chilliwack are seeing more homes being built in high flood hazard areas. In fact, new builds have been increasing in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and B.C. as part of efforts to expand housing supply. For anyone looking to buy or sell in our region, understanding where homes are being built—and the risks involved—can make a real difference. My goal is always to guide you to the right decision for your needs, while helping you navigate around some of the common pitfalls I see. Knowledge is key to finding a home you’ll love and feel secure in for years to come.
