Can you still make a profit in British Columbia's real estate market amidst evolving regulations and fluctuating market conditions? Discover the answer in our latest episode where I, Jacquie McCarnan, guide you through the latest trends impacting the BC property landscape. We'll explore the implications of increased listings versus declining sales and home values since early 2024. Despite a slight dip in interest rates, buyer activity remains low, hinting at a shift towards a buyer's market. You'll learn about the latest rental regulations and changes in Airbnb policies, and hear the compelling story of long-term homeowners Darlene and Erica as they navigate the current market dynamics.
But that's not all. We also dive into the challenges real estate developers face, particularly with the SSMUH initiative aimed at boosting rental units. High building permit costs and infrastructure fees are making waves, prompting questions about the allocation of federal infrastructure funds. How does this all play into housing affordability and the broader market? We emphasise the need for individualised planning for both buyers and sellers in these uncertain times. Plus, stay tuned for an update on the market's current state and an exclusive invitation to a special event at Plunge in Squamish. Join us for an episode packed with insights and expert analysis on BC's real estate market.
