Vancouver continues to capture global attention, ranking 24th out of 1,000 cities worldwide—a testament to our city’s strong economy and deep pool of local talent. Yet, even as Vancouver remains one of the most desirable places to live, affordability challenges persist. The latest housing affordability study places Vancouver’s median multiple near 11, keeping us among the least affordable major markets across the globe. For many, this means a significant portion of income goes toward housing—an issue that defines our local real estate experience. As a Delta BC realtor serving the Greater Vancouver area, I see firsthand how factors like limited supply and slower housing starts through 2026 continue to shape our market. Navigating these realities takes a blend of strategic pricing, local insight, and modern marketing. Vancouver’s appeal is undeniable—so is the importance of making informed choices in this unique housing landscape.
