Metro Van now has 4,376 finished new condos sitting empty, per
CMHC data reported by BIV. That is up 76 per cent in one year.
Prices are down. Developers are offering cash back, free parking,
and other perks to move units.

Here is the part I wish more buyers knew.

A finished tower that is empty is not always a great deal. It
can be. But it can also be an empty tower for a reason. Weak
strata. Warranty gaps. Financing pressure on the developer.
Insurance issues. Rental restrictions that changed after
completion.

A discount does not tell you which one you are looking at.

If you are looking at a new condo right now, do not just read
the price. Read the strata minutes, the depreciation report, the
Form B, and the developer's story.

That is why I put together my Homebuyer Risk Checklist. It is
the short list of things I would want checked before you write
an offer, no matter how good the price looks.

the list of things I'd want checked before you buy.

Every time the trade news gets loud, the same thing happens.
Buyers stop moving. Sellers start hoping.

The buyers freeze first. That part is easy to see. The part
most people miss is what happens next. Sellers hold their
price. Days on market climb. New listings pile up. Then the
first price cut lands. And it starts a chain.

One thing that did not fit in the deck. It is not the top-
line price that hurts. It is the net. By the time closing
costs, the mortgage payout, adjustments, and the commission
come out, the number on the sold sign is not the number you
keep. If you have never sat down with those numbers, right
now is the time.

Sept 8 changes the news again. If you are thinking about
selling this fall, know your walk-away number BEFORE the
noise gets louder.

It helps you see what you may keep before you list.

For years the headline has been the same. Sales down year over
year. Prices down year over year. That is not wrong. It is just
old.

Here is what the headline is missing. Sales just rose for the
fourth straight month. New listings pulled back. The sales-to-
new-listings ratio climbed to 51.3 per cent. That is the
highest it has been since December 2025.

Balance is quietly coming back. Not with a bell. With a small
shift you have to look for.

One extra thing that did not fit in the deck. In Metro Van,
sales dropped 4.5 per cent from June, but the price still ticked
up. That gap tells you something. Buyers are being picky. But
the buyers who are moving are still willing to pay for the
right home.

If you are a buyer waiting for the perfect signal, this is
usually where you stop waiting. Not because the market told
you. Because a market that turns quietly does not send an
invite.

BC Government Will Freeze Rents Increases for 2027.

Announced August 27 2026. Takes effect January 1.

📊 1. THE NEW CAP
BC’s Housing Ministry set the 2027 maximum allowable rent increase at 2.2%. Down from 2.3% in 2026.

📈 2. THE STREAK
7th year in a row the province has capped increases at or below inflation.

🏢 3. WHO IT AFFECTS
Regular residential rentals AND manufactured home parks (which can add a proportional amount for local levies + utility fees).

🗣️ 4. THE OFFICIAL WORDING
Housing Minister Christine Boyle: the cap “helps renters meet their housing expenses, while also ensuring landlords can continue providing stable, well-maintained homes.” (BC Gov, Aug 27)

📉 5. BC RENTAL MARKET CONTEXT
BC asking rents are down about 10% over the past 3 years. Sharpest decline nationally. (rentals.ca 2026)

🏗️ 6. SUPPLY STILL COMING
BC has a record pipeline of purpose-built rentals from the 2020-2022 boom. Population growth has slowed sharply. (CMHC + StatCan)

🗣️ 7. WHY BUYERS AND INVESTORS SHOULD CARE
Landlord math is tightening. Operating costs (labour, materials, property tax, insurance) are rising faster than 2.2%. Some mom-and-pop landlords will look to sell. That is the setup buyers watch for.

That condo, townhouse, or detached home you love could come with a surprise bill the day you move in. Comment RISK and I’ll show you the warning signs.

When a 57-year Japanese ramen chain picks TWO of our suburbs in one
month, that's not a food story. That's a real estate story.

Both new Horin spots sit steps from a SkyTrain stop. Aberdeen in
Richmond. New Westminster Station in New West. A chain like that
doesn't guess. It counts feet. It reads demographics. It runs
numbers on 20-year lease terms.

Here's what most buyers miss:

Restaurants, cafes and bars almost always show up BEFORE prices do.
The listings you're looking at today don't reflect where a block is
heading. They reflect where it was six months ago.

So if you're eyeing Richmond or New West, don't just filter by beds,
baths and budget. Walk the block. Look at what's opening. Look at
what closed. Look at who your new neighbours will be. That's the
signal.

One block over can cost you $100,000 more or one $100,000 less.
Same square footage. Same price per foot. Totally different life.

Comment RISK and I'll send you my Homebuyer Risk Checklist. It's
the list of things I'd want you to check before you write an offer
on any block in Metro Vancouver.
