With summer around the corner, we are taking a look at the factors at play in today’s shifting real estate market. The increased cost to borrow money, the seasonal ebbs and flows of the market, and the normalizing of real estate post-COVID, all play a part in our current market conditions.

The last interest rate increases were in 2018. In July of 2018 the Bank of Canada raised Prime from 3.45 to 3.7 and later to 3.95. As borrowing costs rose, real estate sales decreased. With the recent rise in rates, 2022 is on a similar trajectory as 2018 did for sales. Interestingly, sales numbers for the month of May in years 2018, 2019 and 2022 are similar, further demonstrating a return to pre-COVID market conditions. 


While world events sent us scrambling to adjust our lifestyles in 2020, the unpredictability of the last two years is finally, almost behind us. As such, the real estate market will return to its seasonal ebbs and flows, barring any further unforeseen world events.

I have listed a new property at 2920 56TH AVE E in Vancouver.
A tastefully renovated family home on an oversize lot, perfect for years to come for its proximity to Fraserview Golf Course, Cook & Hebert (French) Elementary…and if summer ever comes, this 900sf SW-facing patio and adjacent yard are the places you’ll want to spend it. The renovation has balanced modern materials with mid-century aesthetic, maintaining the cove ceiling but opening the kitchen and finishing it with quartz counters, herringbone backsplash SS appliances and durable vinyl plank floors. Exceptional layout with 3 bedrooms on main and spa-like ensuite, plus 4th bedroom and recroom down – and additional one-bed mortgage helper. The gearhead will dig the home workshop and double garage, plus 2 outdoor spots. New double-glazed windows, furnace, tank, and newer roof offer peace of mind.

New property listed at 1 2133 ST. GEORGES AVE in North Vancouver

I have listed a new property at 1 2133 ST. GEORGES AVE in North Vancouver.
Welcome to #1-2133 St Georges Ave. Beautifully maintained townhouse in the heart of Central Lonsdale. Great for a growing family or to downsize. This 2 bed, 2.5 bath home has the perfect amount of charm and with a little work could easily become an amazing space for its lucky owner. This home offers fantastic possibilities with the potential to redesign to 3-bedrooms on the top-floor by splitting the massive (19’ x 11”) second bedroom into two rooms. With a splash of paint & a touch of love it’s easy to get excited about moving into this corner unit as it feels like a small detached home. Huge windows on three sides provide great light. There may be other townhomes, but remember this unit is #1!
