Welcome to the final episode of the year people. And this week we are doing a YEAR IN REVIEW from all of the fun topics that have been discussed in Vancouver Real Estate over the past 12 months.

We always need to take some time and pull back to get real perspective in the ways of the market. We can commonly get tied into the little details very easily as they seem like big details often as they appear. If we take a step back from the 2023 year we really see how things have fully tightened around us here in the Vancouver market. As you can imagine, I mean by way of Government intervention yet again with no surprise.... They play with the market for political points and political financing often and 2023 was definitely no different.

The Main points that have taken place this year are the following.

1) Interest Rates & Inflation

2) Zoning – blanket density (missing middle)

3) Transit Oriented density (TOD)

4) Air BnB tightening

5) Tax increases by developers

6) FHSA (first home savings account)

7) Market trends

8) Bonus – Immigration

That is it for me here at the Sharp Real Estate Group for 2023.

THANK YOU for all of your views / likes / subscriptions to the cannel and comments. I truly appreciate all of you and look forward to bringing you new and more dynamic Real Estate content next year in 2024!

Thank you for your attention.

Welcome to the December 2023 Vancouver Real Estate Market Update!

This week we discuss the numbers of the current Vancouver West Side & Downtown Vancouver Real Estate Markets and what they did this past November!

We have some additional details surrounding the new province of BC rules around building further density & what will come along with that around transit hubs starting in 2024! More taxes do you hear??? Yes, as do I... As usual..

Please subscribe to be ready to view these weekly videos of the Vancouver Real Estate markets many shapes and sizes.

Thank you for your attention!

This week we focus yet again on another tax increase from the government down to developers of new homes. They are focusing a lot on their "Build More, Get More" strategy that the more they increase the on building, there money they will make... Again, this is a little backwards from the current narrative of more density, more density, more density...... But can we really expect any level of the gov not to have their hands out when there is movement in the largest GDP contributor in the country?? I guess not...

I think a large part of the current issue is all levels of government are on different pages and have different motivations. From the Federal Level trying to give out their 4 billion dollar housing accelerator fund with strings attached as you can imagine, the provinces threatening the municipalities to get people to build more or else & finally the municipalities biting the hand that feeds them by not listening to the feds tell them not to raise taxes and in turn pulling said funding from the accelerator slush fund..... You can't make this stuff up people!

Interested in your thoughts on the above and if you still believe they are here to help on the affordability front? And if so, what are they doing to make things more affordable for the housing market??

Se you next week!

This week I have a couple of stories for you. However the main one is yet again another act on behalf of the local municipal government that shows just how much energy they are or in this case are NOT making in order to create more affordable housing options for the people...

In addition to this we have the local Liberal Government trying to already get exemptions from the new NDP proposed short term rental rules.

And finally we have the interest rate announcement yesterday!!

Thanks you for your attention, please like and subscribe and come back next week for all things Vancouver Real Estate!

The Vancouver Real Estate Market is nothing short of an enigma.

Are we in an Affordability Crisis? Are we in a Rental Crisis? Are we in a Housing Crisis? What ever tag line they are using these days to get and keep your attention, the focus is always in how can the government get a tighter grip ion the cash cow of the Real estate market. Today is no different with the tightening (yet again) if the B.C Air BnB rules coming down form the top...

Today I outline the Purpose & implementation of the new layers of Provincial & Municipal Air BnB rules taking effect. The timeline you can expect and the new fines coming your way IF you best caught bending said rules.

Thank you for your attention and I hope this was informative today!

Please like & follow and see you next week.
