The Future of B.C. Housing

The Future of B.C. Housing

British Columbia has always been a coveted place to live—and priced at a premium compared to the rest of the country. Divine aesthetic, on-demand year-round leisure and the inspiration of towering mountain ranges and ocean views don’t come cheap.

But the province has never been as unaffordable as it is today, with Vancouver now mentioned along such global centres of commerce as New York, London, San Francisco and Sydney, with its housing and real estate suddenly subject to the same commodification as other financial assets… but with a fraction of the high-paying jobs that would justify such valuations.
Despite this rapid evolution of province-wide real estate investment, province-wide holistic research and analysis was missing. Until now.
