We are pleased to present our Spring 2025 edition of the rennie landscape.

Uncertainty is the word of the year, or at least the word of the day, we're not sure. Navigating the current environment feels especially daunting when we don’t know what the environment will be tomorrow. It’s not all dark clouds though: yes the labour market is in worse shape than six months ago, but interest rates have come down meaningfully and Canadians have managed their debt loads well. Housing affordability has improved over the past year and rental housing supply here in Metro Vancouver is growing.

Focusing on Metro Vancouver, this edition of the rennie landscape examines various facets of economic and demographic change, to provide clarity on the forces shaping our housing markets and and consider what the future may hold.

Explore the digital edition of the rennie landscape for seamless access to expert insights and real estate perspectives. This enhanced platform offers a more intuitive and engaging experience, featuring videos and interactive graphics that distill key insights to help you stay ahead.


Twice a year, rennie intelligence produces the rennie landscape, which tracks a variety of demographic and economic indicators that directly and indirectly influence the housing markets of Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria, and the Central Okanagan. Our goal is to provide our community with a basis for evaluating the trajectory of the factors that collectively define the context of the real estate market.
