It’s an exciting time to watch how Canada is expanding its economic reach beyond just our southern neighbors. By opening stronger doors to Europe, we’re not only diversifying trade but also tapping into fresh opportunities in sectors like energy, AI, critical minerals, and infrastructure. As someone passionate about real estate and always seeking new ways to help my clients succeed, I see how these international partnerships could shape where investment—and growth—flows next. For Canadian businesses, investors, and even those of us in property, a broader network of trading partners could mean new avenues for development and opportunity. The next big chapter for Canada might just come from the relationships we build abroad, not just what happens across the border. I’m always focused on staying ahead so I can deliver the best advice and results for you.

We're seeing encouraging signs that Canada’s real estate market is finding its footing again, with sales picking up, inventory stabilizing, and early price gains showing up after what’s felt like a lengthy downturn. Looking ahead, projections for 2026 point to sales dipping about 4% to roughly 453,000 homes, and average reference prices easing by around 2% to about $794,000. By 2027, forecasts suggest a rebound: sales could rise by approximately 7% to 484,000 units, and benchmark prices might nudge up just under 1%, landing near $801,000 nationwide.

It’s worth noting, though, that this recovery isn’t playing out evenly everywhere. Ontario and British Columbia are still trailing, and the condo market in Toronto and Vancouver continues to feel the weight of higher supply. To me, this feels less like a classic boom and more like a careful transition from correction to recovery—a period where opportunities may open up for buyers as conditions slowly improve. As always, my commitment is to help clients navigate these shifts with clear guidance and trusted expertise, whether you’re buying, selling, or investing.

BC’s standing inventory has reached 6,700 homes, with 5,500 condos included in that total—spanning condos, townhomes, and some multiplex units all across the province. As someone who’s always tracking the numbers to help my clients make informed decisions, I find it interesting how inventory is spread out: Burnaby is currently leading with 1,210 unsold homes, followed by Vancouver at 1,020, Surrey at 798, and Coquitlam at 620. It’s not just the major centres—Richmond (396 units), Kelowna (372), Langley Township (276), New Westminster (224), and Delta (211) all show notable inventory. Even further afield, we’re seeing counts like Langford (188), Esquimalt (173), City of North Vancouver (135), Abbotsford (118), and Chilliwack (100), with these listed cities alone accounting for 5,840 homes.

There’s a common idea circulating that presale inventory is mostly studios and one-bedrooms, but when you look at the broader data on home size and average prices across BC, the story is more nuanced. My passion is helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate these shifts with confidence, so you can make the choices that fit your needs—backed by solid local knowledge and a commitment to making the process smooth and stress-free.

There’s a lot of talk about recovery in Canada’s housing market, and it’s true—we’ve seen encouraging signs since early Q2. Resales are picking up, inventory is finding balance, and price declines are slowing down. Still, the latest forecasts from the bank remind us that a full-blown boom isn’t on the horizon just yet. Looking ahead, they expect 2026 home resales to dip by about 4% to 453,200, with benchmark prices easing roughly 2% to $794,200. By 2027, we should see some growth: resales could rise around 7% to 483,600, and benchmark values might edge up just under 1% to $800,700. These numbers suggest a recovery, but not a surge.

A major factor is the pent-up demand—the bank estimates more than 400,000 Canadian households haven’t formed since 2019, as many have waited to enter the market. The outlook still hinges on affordability, steady economic growth, and renewed confidence. With rates likely at their lowest and ongoing trade tensions, it’s clear that navigating this market takes careful planning and knowledge of local trends. As always, I’m committed to making your real estate experience smooth and stress-free, whether you’re buying your first home, selling, or investing. Trust and insight remain at the heart of what I do.
