In this episode, Matt Scalena, co-host of the Vancouver Real Estate Podcast (VREP), joined Alex to discuss the changing dynamics of the Vancouver real estate market and the evolution of VREP. Starting their podcast adventure in early 2016, Matt and his brother, Adam, have produced over 400 episodes, focusing on various aspects of real estate in Metro Vancouver. Throughout their journey, they've engaged with numerous guests, leveraging their expertise to better understand the market and strategically advising both investors and homeowners. Despite multiple market challenges, including policy changes and interest rate hikes, Matt remains optimistic about the Vancouver real estate market, attributing his confidence to the basic supply-demand dynamics that continue to favor property investment in the region. Moreover, he reflects on the potential shift towards a nation of renters, especially within metro areas, due to affordability issues and the lack of supply. Matt's insights depict an insider's look into the complexities of real estate investing in Vancouver, underlining the importance of knowledge, adaptability, and resilience in the face of a continually evolving market.
