Vancouver Real Estate
Vancouver isn't one market — it's dozens, from Coal Harbour's towers to Kitsilano's character houses and the East Side's fast-changing streetscape. Local knowledge matters more here than almost anywhere we sell.

A city of very different micro-markets
The West Side (Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Shaughnessy) trades on character homes, larger lots and school catchment; the Downtown peninsula and Yaletown run on concrete-tower condo living; the East Side (Mount Pleasant, Grandview-Woodland, Renfrew-Collingwood) has moved fastest on density and price appreciation over the past decade. "Vancouver average price" as a single number tells you almost nothing useful — the right comparison is always neighbourhood to neighbourhood, property type to property type.
Zoning has shifted meaningfully in recent years — provincial small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now permits multiplexes on most single-family lots citywide, which changes both what a lot is worth and what a buyer can realistically build. If redevelopment potential matters to your purchase, we confirm current zoning on the specific lot, not the neighbourhood's reputation.
What out-of-town buyers ask us most
Foreign nationals face restrictions on residential purchases inside Vancouver under the federal ban (in effect to at least January 1, 2027, with exemptions for permanent residents and eligible work-permit holders), and non-resident or vacant-owner buyers should budget for BC's speculation and vacancy tax and the federal Underused Housing Tax where they apply. We walk every out-of-province and international client through eligibility and carrying costs before they write an offer.
Common questions
Buying in Vancouver
If yours isn't here, ask us directly — we'd rather answer it now.
Which Vancouver neighbourhood is right for me?
It depends on budget, commute, school catchment and whether you want a character house or a condo — there's no universal "best" neighbourhood. Tell us your priorities and we'll narrow it down to two or three real options rather than a generic list.
Can I add a suite or multiplex to a house I'm buying?
Often, yes, under BC's provincial small-scale multi-unit housing rules, but the specifics depend on the lot's zoning, size and any local restrictions. We confirm the actual development potential of a specific property before you factor it into your offer.
Is Vancouver real estate a good long-term investment right now?
That depends on your timeline, the specific property type and neighbourhood, and your financing — not something a general answer can responsibly cover. Ask us for current data on the segment you're considering and we'll give you a straight read.
