What to check on a Vancouver waterfront property
In BC the foreshore — the land between high and low water — is generally Crown land, so a private dock or moorage needs provincial authorization. Confirm any existing dock is authorized, and check flood-plain designations and setbacks with the municipality before you offer.
Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.

How long have waterfront homes in Vancouver been on the market?

Can non-Canadians buy a waterfront home in Vancouver?
Generally not right now. Since January 1, 2023, the federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act has barred most non-Canadians from buying residential property, with exceptions such as permanent residents and some work-permit holders. The ban has been extended before, so confirm its current status and get legal advice on your situation.
