  • The proportion of completed-home purchases in Metro Vancouver attributed to first-time home buyers (FTHBs) dipped in 2021 vs the prior 3 years.
  • In spite of a recently lower share, the absolute number of first-time home buyers increased each year between 2018-2021.
  • Activity in the pre-sale market more or less mimicked this pattern, with the number of FTHB pre-sale purchases rising annually between 2019-2021.
