Real Estate Dynamics in Vancouver

This chapter discusses the current state of the Vancouver real estate market, highlighting the lowest home sales in 20 years and the rise in new condo listings amid low single-family housing inventory. It debates the role of real estate investors in housing affordability, suggesting they are a symptom of broader market issues rather than the cause. The chapter also contrasts Canadian and American housing markets, explores the impact of immigration, and addresses broader economic challenges faced by potential homeowners.
