Despite recent price declines undoing more than half of the dramatic affordability jump we saw during the pandemic, home ownership here remains a major challenge. In BC, softer labour conditions have kept wage growth limited, so even as prices fall, many buyers aren\u2019t seeing the full boost in affordability they were hoping for. This tension is clear in the market: resales are down, prices are softer across nearly all housing types, and inventory is abundant, giving buyers more options than in previous years. As a realtor guiding clients through Greater Vancouver, I\u2019ve seen how these factors play out on the ground.
