After 18 months of sliding sales, increasing inventory, and placid prices, the trajectory of Metro Vancouver's housing market is poised to change. A recent re-emergence of previously sidelined demand has coincided with some of the fastest employment growth and wage growth in Canada, with the unemployment rate being driven to a near-historical low. 

These factors, combined with continued population growth in Metro Vancouver and an interest rate environment that has gone from market headwind to definitive tailwind over the past 10 months, bode well for the region's pre-sale and resale markets. Each quarter, rennie intelligence produces the rennie landscape, that tracks a variety of demographic and economic indicators that directly and indirectly influence our housing market here in Metro Vancouver. Our goal is to provide our community with a basis for evaluating the trajectory of the factors that collectively define the context for the real estate market.

two stories in today’s housing market. which one is real?
There’s a lot being said about the housing market right now, and not all of it lines up. One story points to a slow market, with hesitant buyers and downward pressure on prices. The other points to early signs of change, with sales beginning to pick up and supply tightening. Ryan Berlin and Ryan Wyse are joined by Brandan Price to bring together what the data is showing and what’s playing out in the market. They look at where conditions stand today, what may be shifting beneath the surface, and what it means for how people buy, sell, and make decisions this spring. Featured guests: Ryan Berlin, Head Economist and Vice President of Intelligence Ryan Wyse, Lead Analyst and Market Intelligence Manager Brandan Price, rennie advisor We’d love to answer your real estate questions. Email us at intel@rennie.com or leave a voicemail, and we’ll try to respond in future episodes.
