The New Rules for Buying a Duplex in Vancouver [Multiplex Effect]
Are you looking to buy a home in Vancouver in 2026? The rules have changed. The classic "Vancouver Duplex" is disappearing, and a new player has taken over: The Multiplex. If you are planning on moving to Vancouver and buying property, understanding this zoning shift is critical to protecting your investment and your lifestyle.
In this podcast, I break down the massive zoning changes impacting 67,000 single-family lots across the city. We compare the traditional Duplex vs. the new Multiplex so you don't get caught buying the wrong asset.
In this podcast, we cover:
The Evolution: From single-family homes to the new 2024+ Multiplex zoning (SSMUH).
The Trap: Why many "Duplexes" listed on MLS are actually Townhouses or Triplexes in disguise.
The Trade-off: The specific differences in FSR (Floor Space Ratio), garage access, and privacy that could cost you 20% of your space.
The Future: Why the 2018-2024 era Duplexes might be the smartest investment you can make right now.
Whether you are relocating to Vancouver BC for work or looking to upsize your family home, this guide will help you navigate the confusing new landscape of Vancouver real estate.
