In this episode, host Alex McFadyen and guest Adam Scalena, a Vancouver-based realtor and co-host of the Vancouver Real Estate Podcast, delve into the current state and future projections of Vancouver's real estate market. Adam and Alex reflect on the predictions they made about Vancouver Real Estate in 2024 from Episode 15 of The Flow. They discuss the impact of interest rates, the resilience of Vancouver's housing prices, and the challenges faced by both buyers and sellers in different submarkets. The conversation also touches on the dynamics of the pre-sale market, the rental market shifts due to policy changes, and opportunities for potential buyers and investors. Adam provides expert insights into market trends, the influence of political decisions, and the intricacies of tenant-landlord dynamics in Vancouver.
