Every year, we make real estate predictions knowing full well they’re as much a reflection of the moment as they are a guess about the future—and 2025 proved just how quickly the ground can move beneath your feet. In this episode, we hold ourselves accountable and revisit the bold calls we made last January: what we nailed, what we completely missed, and what actually unfolded in Canada’s economy and housing market along the way.

JANUARY 2026 Vancouver Real Estate Update - Prices Hit 3 Year LOW
Vancouver enters 2026 at a rare crossroads. Home prices have slipped to a three-year low, annual sales volumes have fallen to levels not seen in a quarter century, and yet Canadians brought a record number of homes to market in 2025. The disconnect between supply and demand is no longer theoretical—it’s visible across prices, borrowing behaviour, and broader economic indicators. Beneath the surface, household balance sheets are doing more of the heavy lifting. While transaction activity rem...

The Population Collapse That's Breaking Canada's Housing Market
As we head into 2026, population is no longer just another economic talking point — it has become one of the single most powerful forces reshaping Canadian real estate & the economy. For the first time in modern history, Canada’s population is shrinking, and the effects are immediate and profound. Ontario and British Columbia — the country’s largest and most expensive markets — are now posting negative annual population growth for the first time ever. After years of record inflows, the pe...

Vacancy Rate Hits 37 Year High As Record Number Of Rentals Are Coming To Market
As we close out 2025, the data coming across the wire is some of the most consequential Canada has seen in decades—and it is quietly rewriting the playbook for real estate in 2026. For the first time in modern history, Canada’s population is shrinking, not growing. At the same time, rental vacancy rates are climbing to multi-decade highs, rents are falling, developers are pulling back, and interest rates are no longer clearly on a path down. And yet, in what feels like a contradiction, headli...

Multiplex at 18 Months: Progress, Pushback, and the Battle for the Missing Middle
It has been just 18 months since British Columbia launched Bill 44—the Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) initiative—and already the landscape of urban development in the province has shifted in ways few could have predicted. Hundreds of multiplex permit applications have been submitted across B.C., the first wave of completed projects is beginning to emerge, and municipalities that once resisted density are now formally adopting the provincial framework. Just this week, the City of North...

DECEMBER Vancouver Real Estate Update - Prices Hit 33 Month LOW
Vancouver home prices have fallen for the 8th consecutive month, hitting their lowest level in 33 months. The December data confirms what many have felt for weeks: the market is cooling faster than most anticipated. Sales are slowing, inventory remains elevated, and both developers and institutional investors are feeling the strain. In this week’s report, we break down what’s driving this latest leg down — from stalled projects and falling rents to REIT dividend cuts, mortgage renewal pressur...

The Truth About What Canada Is Really Building
Canada is building homes at a record pace, but a closer look reveals a growing disconnect between what’s being constructed and what Canadians actually need, want, or can afford. While total units under construction sit at all-time highs, homeowner-oriented housing tells a very different story. Single-family home starts have fallen to levels not seen since 2009, even dipping below those of 25 years ago when adjusted for population growth. Over just three months, single-family starts are down m...

B.C.’s Real Estate Shake-Up: Land Claims, Insolvencies & Declining Housing Starts
Canada’s housing market is being pulled in more directions than ever. Court cases, collapsing construction, political battles, and rising costs are all converging at once — and the result is a level of uncertainty we haven’t seen in years. This week, we’re breaking down what’s making headlines, what’s just noise, and what could materially reshape housing across B.C. We start in Port Coquitlam, where a decade-long Kwikwetlem land claim has resurfaced, putting major institutional sites from t...

ZERO Growth: How Canada’s New Population Targets Will Reshape the Housing Market
For years, one of the driving narratives in Canadian real estate was deceptively simple: population growth equals home-price growth. Between 2021-2023, that tailwind was unmistakable — massive immigration, booming temporary residents, and a swelling demand for housing fueled price rises across the country. But that story is now changing. The latest federal budget from Ottawa projects zero population growth for the first time in modern history — a signal that the era of “Demographic Alpha” may...

November Vancouver Real Estate Update - Pricing Falling, Budget Fallout, Land Claim Shock
Vancouver home prices just dropped for the seventh straight month, and the November stats paint a clear picture: momentum is fading, listings remain high, and the winter slowdown is now colliding with a wave of economic and policy turbulence. In this week’s episode, we break down everything from the federal budget fallout to land title uncertainty in B.C., and what all of it means for prices heading into 2026. Let’s start with Ottawa.

Mortgage PAIN, Record Cancellations & Rate Cuts: What’s Next for Canada’s Market
This week on The Vancouver Life Real Estate Podcast — the Bank of Canada cuts rates again. But are we at the bottom of this cycle, or is another surprise still coming? As Ottawa gears up to unveil its massive 2026 federal budget, we break down how an $80 billion deficit could completely reshape Canada’s interest rate path and keep borrowing costs higher for longer. What does that mean for homebuyers, investors, and renters? We’ll unpack it all — from a slowing economy to a shifting housing pi...

Mortgage Debt Hits RECORD HIGH as Prices FALL - Canada Nears BREAKING Point
According to the latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association, national home sales declined by 1.7% month-over-month in September, ending a string of steady gains that began in the spring. Even so, this was still the strongest September for sales since 2021. On a year-over-year basis, transactions were up 5.2%, while both new listings and total active listings fell 0.8%. That left just 4.4 months of inventory available nationwide — the lowest level since January, and below the long-t...

From Boom to Freeze: Canada’s Housing Construction Crisis Explained
Canada’s housing market is undergoing a fundamental transformation—not just in prices, but in the types of homes being built. From Toronto to Vancouver to Calgary, developers are hitting pause, construction starts are slowing, and the mix of housing completions over the next 3 to 5 years is shifting dramatically. Single-family homes and condos, the traditional pillars of Canadian homeownership, are seeing major declines in new construction, while purpose-built rentals are quietly surging to r...

How LOW Will Prices GO: A Look Into Canada’s Real Estate Future
This week on The Vancouver Life Real Estate Podcast, the question hanging over the entire country’s housing market finally takes center stage: How long will this downturn last? BMO Capital Markets has drawn a striking parallel between today’s Canadian correction and the U.S. housing crash of 2007 — a comparison that has rattled even the most seasoned market watchers. Senior Economist Robert Kavcic doesn’t mince words: Canada’s housing bubble is now in the slow-motion phase of its deflation. P...

OCTOBER 2025 Vancouver Real Estate Market Update - Prices, Jobs & Pre Sales Falling
Canada’s housing market is shifting faster than the headlines suggest—and not in one direction. On paper, “affordability” is improving as prices slip and the overnight rate eases to 2.5%, taking ownership costs back toward late-2021 levels. But the market isn’t responding like 2021 because confidence has fractured. Job openings fell 4.2% month-over-month, construction vacancies plunged 14.3% in a single month, and there are now more Canadians on EI (~550k) than there are job postings (~460k)....

Vancouver & Toronto Real Estate: The Shocking Data You Need to See
Canada’s housing market is being battered from every angle, and the cracks are widening into a full-blown crisis. Population growth, the single biggest driver of housing demand, has nearly stalled. Statistics Canada reported Q2 growth of just 47,000 people — a 0.1% increase and the second-slowest pace since 1946, excluding the pandemic. For a country that has leaned heavily on immigration to fuel housing, GDP, and tax revenues, this 80-year low is seismic. Developers who banked on endless inf...

Canada's Real Estate Market Is Splintering
Yesterday, both the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada cut interest rates by a quarter point. On paper it may sound small, but in reality it was a major signal. Central banks rarely move in tandem unless the global economy is flashing warning signs. In this case, the cuts were not acts of strength, but indications of a weakening economy. The Fed acted on the back of softening labour and inflation data. The Bank of Canada responded to one of the worst employment reports the country ha...

Vancouver Rental Market Update | 2025 Outlook
Vancouver’s rental market is undergoing substantial rental correction. For years, the story was one of relentless increases: month after month of record-high rents, bidding wars for apartments, and vacancy rates scraping along the bottom. But the tide has shifted. In fact, Vancouver has just recorded the sharpest annual drop in average asking rents among Canada’s major markets. According to Rentals.ca, apartment listings in Vancouver fell nearly 10% year over year to around $2,820. One-bedroo...

Canada’s Housing Market Has Cracked Wide Open
Canada has long lived off its mythology: a country of opportunity, stability, and growth. But 2025 is stripping away that veneer. For the first time in a generation, the country is experiencing a profound reversal of the very forces that powered its ascent — population, jobs, and GDP — and nowhere are the consequences clearer than in the housing market. Last year, more than 106,000 Canadians left the country — the largest exodus since the late 1960s. At the same time, Ontario and B.C., the tw...
