Under $550,000 - Renovated unit in a rain-screened building in East Van? These opportunities are hard to find!

This beautifully renovated corner suite is bright, stylish, and move-in ready. The kitchen was reimagined with an open layout, breakfast bar, updated cabinetry, backsplash and shelving, while the bathroom has been fully renovated. Custom touches include a driftwood mantel, new gas fireplace, updated lighting, solid wood doors, and in-suite laundry.

Just a short walk to all the shops that makes Hastings-Sunrise one of East Van’s most loved neighbourhoods.

Cypress and 1st, one of the best intersections in the city, and I think this is one of the best listing in Kits right now.

A downsizers dream. 

This 2-bed, 2-bath is fully renovated with beautiful oak floors, custom tiling and high-end appliances. This home is super spacious, well laid out, and west-facing with tons of light. The building, Yorkville South is just completing a huge building envelope remediation project, giving it a new lease on life. It’s freehold, don’t worry. 

It is also a concrete and steel framed building, very rare north of 4th!

The Vancouver market is splitting in two.

Detached home sales:
⬆️ UP 14%

Condo sales:
⬇️ DOWN 11%

Why?

Supply and demand.

There’s limited supply of detached homes for actual families.

There’s a large supply of condos once supported by investors — a buyer group that has largely disappeared.

The result:

Detached homes are stabilizing.

Condos are still finding their new value.

2015 to 2022 made everyone looked smart. Now we are seeing who actually is.

Homes are worth a range, and one of the main strategies to get the top of the range is HOME PREPARATION 💵

How your home looks, and how buyers feel when they view a home, greatly impacts sale price!

It’s critical to have a great strategy and a great team to get this done.

You are leaving money in the table otherwise!

A couple things:

Charles Street near Commercial is one of the most beautiful pockets in the city right now—the cherry blossoms and classic homes…looks unreal!

Secondly, the entry-level family market is tight. Not enough 3-bed homes between $1.3-$1.8m. That’s the real shortage.

Fix is simple: more duplex density and faster permitting.

Rents soften. Most segments soften. Entry level 3 bedroom homes likely won’t.

The key to this market isn’t guessing—it’s understanding the drivers!

April 2025 Vancouver RE, Market Update

March Sales ↓ 32% vs 10-year avg

Detached ↓ 8.2% YoY
Condos ↓ 7.8% YoY

The bubble is unwinding.

The last 10 years?
You’re either sitting pretty…
or bleeding monthly.

This video breaks down what caused it—and what’s changed.

Now?
This is a user-driven market.

👉 Good properties → stabilizing
👉 Speculative product → still falling

The gap is widening.

Opportunities—and mistakes—are getting bigger.

Be strategic. Call me if you want to build equity, security.

I grew up on the North Shore and still spend a lot of time over there between family, friends and real estate.

I love it, but I haven’t felt ready to move back there yet…until very recently.

I’ve helped some clients land some amazing detached properties; and they’ve felt like really good value. Great prices for super unique, beautiful homes.

Ready to make babies and move to the North Shore? LMK 😎
