Vancouver continues to hold its reputation as one of the world’s most desirable cities, ranking 24th out of 1,000 global cities. As someone who’s witnessed firsthand the unique appeal of our region, I see how Vancouver’s strong economy and deep pool of talent keep us in the global spotlight—even as housing affordability remains a significant challenge. According to a recent study, our median multiple is close to 11, placing Vancouver among the least affordable major markets. Many residents here spend a larger share of their income on housing than almost anywhere else, and the supply gap, combined with slower housing starts projected through 2026, makes meaningful affordability improvements harder to achieve. Despite these hurdles, Vancouver’s lifestyle and opportunities continue to attract people from around the world. As your GREATER VANCOUVER real estate expert, I’m committed to helping clients navigate this complex market, drawing on years of experience in our community.
