    the Deepest Condo Correction in BC Since 2005 (and what’s coming next)

    BC real estate headlines are screaming about a 15% condo drop, but national news completely misses what is happening locally in White Rock and South Surrey.Major bank forecasts predict another 7% to 8% fall by the end of this year, pushing our market into the deepest condo correction since at least 2005. While benchmark apartments across the Fraser Valley sit at $476,000 in firm buyer’s market territory, individual neighbourhoods tell completely different stories. North Surrey condos have dropped nearly 12%, whereas South Surrey and White Rock have barely moved 4.6%.The real driver behind this stall isn't just interest rates—it's the sudden disappearance of first-time home buyers who ignite the entire property chain. Meanwhile, developers have quietly switched off the condo pipeline, dropping multi-unit project registrations by almost 40% across BC.Whether you are looking to buy your first property or trade up while the pricing gap between condos and detached homes is smaller than ever, relying on generic regional averages will cost you. You need clear, building-specific data to navigate this shifting BC real estate market with total confidence.

    4 Homes, 1 Lot, ZERO Parking: What Bill 44 Did to Our Surrey Streets

    The single-family neighbourhoods you bought into across South Surrey and White Rock are disappearing right before your eyes. On quiet residential streets where only one detached home was once allowed, provincial density mandates are forcing cities to greenlight three, four, or even six separate units on a single standard lot. This massive shift is not a proposal or a distant plan for the future. The City of Surrey has already approved over 1,000 of these multi-unit builds, forever changing the face of local housing.In this video, we explore the mechanical realities of Bill 44 and why developers are rapidly acquiring single-family lots across the Lower Mainland. We break down the critical logistics on the ground, exposing the strain these new multiplex properties put on local parking, garbage services, and regional water infrastructure. From single water meters feeding four separate households to emergency vehicles struggling to find the right front door, the impact on our communities is immediate and profound. We also examine the strong counterarguments supporting this missing-middle density and how it provides housing options for the next generation. Whether you think the province took necessary, decisive action or sold out municipal planning, you need to understand how these laws affect your property value.

    The Government Is Buying Up Empty Condos in BC (Here's Why...)

    There are almost 4,000 brand new condos sitting completely empty across British Columbia right now, and the government just decided to start buying them up. If you own a condo here, you're thinking about buying one, or you're getting ready to sell, this is one of the biggest shifts to hit our local market in years.Ottawa is stepping in through a brand new federal Crown corporation called Build Canada Homes alongside the province to acquire more than 2,200 of these unsold finished units. With the Bank of Canada entering as a funding partner, this massive play aims to convert standing inventory into affordable housing.But where did all these empty units come from? A flood of investor-focused development planned years ago collided head-on with rising interest rates, leaving thousands of completed properties sitting without buyers. This unexpected shift is pulling a massive chunk of inventory off the open market all at once, directly impacting pricing competition. Whether you are buying or selling in White Rock, South Surrey, or across Metro Vancouver, the local supply-and-demand picture is about to tighten fast.Keep your eyes on the specific numbers in your own backyard, especially in highly concentrated hubs like Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, and Port Moody. Watch this video to understand exactly how this multi-government buyout affects your property's bottom-line value.
