Brandon Smith returns with Part 2 of the mini-series to tackle the third path: relocating. He lays out when moving actually makes sense in the Vancouver/Lower Mainland market, the hidden costs most homeowners miss, and a practical decision framework to choose between renovating, rebuilding, or moving. Expect straight talk, real trade-offs, and a 10-year lens for smarter, calmer choices.
