- November 2025 Rental Market Breakdown & What How to Profit
Dive into the November 2025 rental statistics and understand what they mean for your next move in the Vancouver real estate market. This episode unpacks why the average 1-bedroom has dropped to $2,164; the lowest point of the year and what’s driving the decline, including tightened immigration, lower student visa approvals, economic uncertainty from the U.S., slowed development, and a surge of new purpose-built rentals.
You will also learn how today’s slowdown in both rentals and sales could set up a future supply crunch, potentially pushing prices and rents upward in the years ahead. A highlight from Rentals.ca shows how higher-education areas like UBC are seeing steeper rent drops than a city's overall rental stats; an important signal for anyone evaluating investment locations.
Thinking about buying (or if you should)? This episode breaks down why this may be a unique moment to secure a property while competition is low and pricing is soft, as long as there’s room to weather the dip and capitalize when rents rebound.
Stay informed and get practical insights from Vancouver’s trusted source for property management and investment strategies.

33 min - August Rents Are Dropping & Accountability Is Coming – What It Means for Landlords and Tenants
The Greater Vancouver rental market is shifting — rents are softening for the third month in a row, and landlords are entering new territory when it comes to attracting great tenants. From creative incentives like free Wi-Fi or covering move-in fees, to the growing competition around student housing near SFU and UBC, we unpack what’s really happening on the ground.
But the biggest news? The BC government has announced a game-changing move: publishing the names, addresses, and monetary order records of both landlords and tenants. This controversial database could reshape how both sides approach the rental market, raising questions about accountability, transparency, and fairness.
In this episode, we break it all down:
Why rents are sliding and what’s fueling the trend.
Smart strategies landlords can use to stand out without racing to the bottom on price.
The student rental squeeze and why some markets are struggling more than others.
What the new BC rental database really means — and why accountability is not persecution.
Whether you’re a landlord navigating these changes or a tenant looking for leverage and insight, this episode gives you the tools and context to stay ahead of the curve.
👉 Tune in to hear the trends, the challenges, and the opportunities shaping Vancouver’s rental market right now.
