Vancouver Real Estate Podcast

Does Vancouver need more luxury condos? New York Economist Sandy Ikeda argues we just might but not for the reasons you think. He joins Adam & Matt to discuss the concept of “filtering” (and no, we are not talking about your Instagram posts, although there is no question you look better in Valencia). Find out why calls for “the right types of housing” may actually limit supply, create more buying competition for average Vancouverites, and ultimately backfire.

Join us for a gripping story only Lester Holt could dream up and BYOPopcorn!
