What happens to Vancouver Real Estate as the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic rages on? British Columbia has declared a state of emergency, restaurants and bars have closed and the streets are largely deserted. But will homes continue to sell? There may be no one better to comment than today’s guest, Dustan Woodhouse. As President of Mortgage Architects, one of the largest brokerages in the country, Dustan is not only part of high-level policy strategy sessions but also oversees close to 1500 mortgage brokers on the ground across Canada. What do the two Bank of Canada emergency rate cuts mean for the economy and consumers? How does this impact lending and your mortgage specifically? And what does this mean for Vancouver Real Estate in 2020 and beyond. Listen up!

The new Coronavirus, which results in COVID-19, is causing major uncertainty in the global economy and has the potential to trigger a large-scale global recession. But should we be ringing alarm bells just yet? And what does this mean for our real estate market in Vancouver? This week, we catch-up with Central 1 Credit Union’s Chief Economist, Helmut Pastrick, to talk best case/worst case scenarios, potential rolling recessions, how markets are responding to media and quarantines, and whether or not you and your money should stay home! At the very least, you should! This is a surprising conversation that will undoubtedly influence your plans for 2020. Listen up! And on a serious note, regardless of your age or vulnerability, please do your part and avoid large crowds and wash your hands. Take care, everyone - VREP
