Welcome back and welcome to the May 2025 Vancouver real Estate Market numbers!Its a Buyers market out there and if you have patience your desired property WILL be available or coming soon by the looks of the inventory count we are seeing out here...Patience is key and Buyers have all the time and selection that they ever wanted right now. SOME segments of the market have more elevated activity than others and we are seeing multiple offers here and there. However for the most part, you as a buyer have time, selection and the power to negotiate on your side again. Sellers, you need to be priced sharply! If the comparables show your property as too high or priced just average, the market will pass you by. You need to be priced SHARP to the comparables to get the attention you desire. And yes, if you are a truly unique property you will still hold elevated attention, as usual... Does the mean record breaking numbers, most likely not. But that does mean offers will still come your way....The Numbers:Greater VancouverResidential Sales Total – 2,228 (-18.5%) Y/Y – 30.5% below 10yr averageDetached: 654 (-22.7%) Y/YApartments: 1,087 (-18.8%) Y/YTownhomes: 469 (-10.3%) Y/YMetro VancouverNEW LISTINGS MAY 2025 (ALL) – 6,620 (+3.9%) Y/Y +9.3% above 10yr average (6,055)TOTAL current MLS Listings (ALL) 17,094 (+25.7%) Y/Y +45.9% above 10yr average (11,718)RATIO:ALL: 13.4% - buyersDetached: 10.2% buyersTownhomes: 17.4% balancedApartments: 14.7% balancedHome Price Index (Benchmark)ALL: $1,177,100 (-2.9%) Y/YDetached: $1,997,400 (-3.2%) Y/YApartment: $757,300 (-2.4%) Y/YTownhomes: $1,106,800 (-3.4%) Y/YMonth over MonthDetached:High – Bowen Island +7%Low – East Burnaby -5.2%Townhomes:High – North Vanouver +2%Low – Pitt Meadows -2.5%Condos:High – West Vancouver +6.1%Low – South Burnaby – 2.9%For any questions regarding further details of the current market in YOUR specific area contact me direct today at 604-771-4606!#vancouverrealestatemarketupdate----Jay McInnes 604-771-4606 [email protected]✅⬇️✅ FOLLOW US ONLINE HERE✅⬇️✅ Youtube - http://www.YouTube.com/sharprealestat...Website - http://www.SharpRealEstateGroup.ca Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/McInnesMarketing/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamjaymcinnes Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaymcinnes/ Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sharp-stories-vancouver-real-estate-podcast/id1651056958#vancouverrealestate

This week we dive into a Vancouver Sun article highlighting Ken Sim wanting Social Housing numbers distributed throughout other neighbourhoods "fairly" and in the meantime he is putting a PAUSE on new Social Housing applications here in Vancouver!Burnaby & Surrey were the main targets in this article, but North Vancouver and other communities are additionally in the conversation.Who will take their fair share? Vancouver holds 77% of Metro Vancouvers Social Housing units? Why I that? We don't have the most people? We don't have the largest land mass?

This week I go through an article written recently about the City of Vancouver becoming a Market Unit developer here in Vancouver. So this struck a nerve from two angles, the first being that they do not have to go through the same process in which they set out making it virtually impossible for developers in the city to abide by. And secondly the fact that the city themselves are now competing with mom & pop investors for their tenants...I am not sure what the point of the city trying to establish themselves in this way could be, but this is the path they are charging down...What are your thoughts on this? Does it make sense for them to be spending money to do this?Thank you for your attention and see you next week!

Welcome to Episode #301!This week I discuss the measured from all angles that the government is currently attempting to bring life back into the Real Estate Market!From the reduction of rates to the many different schemes and offerings to allow easier access to money and into the real estate market. I believe this coming year of 2025 will show us much more activity that we have seen in recent rears past.With the Real Estate industry providing for 20% ($450 billion) of the countries GDP, they simply have to bring the market back. The steps that have been taken at the federal level have been consistent and I do believe will continue.So buy now or just continue to watch things sail forward...Thank you for your attention and see you next week!-Jay McInnes 604-771-4606 [email protected]✅⬇️✅ FOLLOW US ONLINE HERE✅⬇️✅ Youtube - / sharprealestat. .Website - http://www.SharpRealEs...

This week I I've into ta story that was broken recently by storeys.com about the forward-sale agreement between the Canada Lands Company & the MST Nations (Musqueam / Squamish / Tsleil-Waututh) in their joint purchases of Jericho Lands (52 Ac) Point Grey / Heather Lands (21 Ac) Cambie / Marine Drive lands (5 Ac) West Van.Why do you think this was not made public from the start? And when government funds are being used, do we not now all believe that there should be complete no questions asked transparency??? Well so do I, and it doesn't seem to be anywhere around these collective $307 million dollar purchases of land between these two groups... Now we have some clarity on a structures buy out along the schedule of achieving permits & application achievements... Also extremely fishy and obvious now what's going on here...

The liquidity is coming, what does that mean and how do tou access it? The government at all levels is loosening access to money in a nutshell. As tou will se in this video as well as last weeks video, these dunds are ckming in many different forms. From simply reducing interest rates to projects like the Heather Lands project with subsidised purchase prices… Thank you very much for your attention and thank you for your feedback in the comments!!----Jay McInnes 604-771-4606 [email protected]✅⬇️✅ FOLLOW US ONLINE HERE✅⬇️✅ Youtube - / sharprealestat. .Website - http://www.SharpRealEs...

The government has started making changes to bandaid the current situation in the Vancouver Real Estate Market as we come closer and closer to election season.. Their claim that they will build 4 million homes (1 home / minute) across the country is a tall order. Specifically within the current interest rate environment. Yes, rates are dropping... But is hasn't been fast enough YET to really stimulate buyers off the fence & developers to start building again at mass. So to stay true to the current (housing shortage) narrative the government has now taken the borrowing side of the equation into the spotlight and is basically creating these measures to add easier liquidity to the buying side of the market... Will it work? Debt loads will be larger onto of an already debt ridden society. Specifically after these tough past few years... We will see if this is the first step of a true market turn around where buyers are needed in an inventory rich market.thank you for your attention and stay tuned to what happens next is the wacky world of the Vancouver real estate Market! ha----Jay McInnes 604-771-4606 [email protected]✅⬇️✅ FOLLOW US ONLINE HERE✅⬇️✅ Youtube - http://www.YouTube.com/sharprealestat...Website - http://www.SharpRealEstateGroup.ca Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/McInnesMarketing/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamjaymcinnes Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaymcinnes/ Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sharp-stories-vancouver-real-estate-podcast/id1651056958#vancouverrealestate

This week I am talking to the Buyers out there. What is happening on those calls between your Buyers Agent & the Listing Agent on the property you have selected to try and purchase? Is this like Million Dollar Listing New York?? Os is there a bit more depth to this art of negotiation?? Well I guess I am speaking of MY method of negotiation from the Buying side, this can't be assumed to be the process of all 15,000 Greater VancouverRealtors of course... 
But I would dare to say, this is what your Buyers Agent SHOULD be doing when trying to negotiate the deal on your behalf.
What do you think??

This week we dive into the city council passing amendments to previously protected areas and swaths of land covered in historically significant properties (commercial & residential) in order to make way for more blanket density dictated from the province... This is a very reactive approach to the current "problem at hand" and has the means to destroy the fabric of many neighbourhoods around the city... This video focuses on three articles, one from CTV NEWS & the Vancouver Sun.

Welcome to the July 2024 Vancouver Real Estate Market update! This month we have consistency in the listing environment with record high inventory numbers staying consistent. Sales this past month are consistent on the softer side of things. Buyers for the most part oil this (still) high interest rate environment are rightfully hesitant to purchase unless they have to. Time is on their side and inventory levels are elevated & climbing... Story of the week this week includes developers putting projects on hold for a variety of reasons, but I have chosen to focus on the largest reason, city costs.... As usual..

The Revamp & Re-list saga has now come to an end! The property has now sold. Within three days back on market post Revamp we had achieved an accepted offer on the property. This has led to a sale. This episode is a slight recap of the process that we went through with unit #1903 & the shuttle art of shopping an offer... What does that mean?? It means we are doing the best we can for our sellers at all times in efforts to achieve the highest possible price... Have a watch and tell me what you think.

This week we conclude the Revamp & Re-List of 1903 - 188 E Esplanade in the heart of Lower Lonsdale. This unit was on the market for some time and we were getting attention but not enough to sell at the sellers desired price range. There were however a number of specific dislikes the market had over the unit time after time. We like to call and follow up after every showing to see the buyers throughs and feedback. From this process we were receiving similar negative feedback about the same things time and time again. So with that we decided that in place of a price reduction, we would make a slight unit adjustment. We decided the "fix" the complaints that the market kept telling us about the unit. And here is the final product & what we did! Thanks for Utter Touch Maintenance for doing the work in the unit, great finishing carpentry and paint at a reasonable price! Thank you for being a part of the process & all of your hard work. Comment below on your thoughts if you believe this was a nice updating of the unit or not. Did you like what was done??

This week we are doing some cosmetic detailing to a listing that isn’t quite getting the attention from the market needed to sell. We will do a little before and after to show what work is being done in the unit next week. We are doing things response to market feedback we have received over the past handful of months, in efforts to get the property sold. We are doing this in place of a price reduction. Of course while representing the seller we are wanting to keep as much money in the hands of the seller as possible, and this is the next best step to do just that. This is a Lower Lonsdale 2 Bed/ 2 bath 1,209 SqFt corner unit with endless southern views to downtown vancouver! Interested in your thoughts and if you think this will upgrade the unit enough to sell!!

This week the Revamp & Re-list unit in Lower Lonsdale is not quite finished so we will be getting to that in next weeks video. THE RATES have been adjusted down for the first time in four years!! This is great & very welcomed news to variable rate mortgage / line of credit / HELOC & construction loan holders across the country... In addition this months numbers and sales are WAY down with Listings WAY up! Some interesting headlines about wait times at city hall for building permits, the longest wait in recorded history... And of course Trudeau saying housing prices need to stay up..... A little contradictory to the current housing narrative out there...

This week we discuss the new Carbon Tax that Metro Vancouver is planning on charging you for your buildings green house gas emission. Now, to be fair they are starting with larger commercial buildings to get this thing off the ground. However they will quickly. move to residential buildings... Assuming this does go ahead, this is going to offer massive financial burdens to the owners of older strata buildings throughout the city. Needless to say I think this is a horrible plan that will heavily impact many many Vancouverites at a time where things are already extremely tight financially around town. What are your thoughts? Is taxing you for your buildings carbon something you are happy to pay for? ---- Jay McInnes 604-771-4606 [email protected] ✅⬇️✅ FOLLOW US ONLINE HERE✅⬇️✅ Youtube - http://www.YouTube.com/sharprealestat...
