Vancouver Mortgage and Real Estate Market
The Vancouver mortgage and real estate market is consistently a hot topic in BC’s lower mainland. As always Team RRP stays up-to-date on our market research to be able to best advise our clients on relevant news and trends. 2018 saw federal changes to mortgage rules across the country – which has a resulted in a slight ‘cooling’ of most Canadian cities markets including Metro Vancouver’s red-hot market.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totaled 1,929 in August 2018, a 36.6 percent decrease from the 3,043 sales recorded in August 2017, and a 6.8 percent decline compared to July 2018 when 2,070 homes sold.
While buyers today have more options to choose from, as of January 1, 2018, new mortgage rules for homebuyers or those refinancing including passing a ‘stress test’ where applicants must qualify for 2 percent higher than the interest rate given to them – is also impacting the ability to buy in this ‘Buyers Market’.
Team RRP continues to monitor Vancouver’s mortgage and real estate market. You can find all the latest news and up-to-date mortgage rates here on our website.

Why you should use a Vancouver Mortgage Broker
Purchasing a home is likely to be one of the largest financial commitments a person will make in their lifetime. So, it is important to have a clear understanding of all the financing options that are available to them. A mortgage broker is a licensed professional within their province, who is responsible for staying ahead of the trends and on top of all current government policies related to mortgage financing and their local real estate market.
According to Mortgage Professionals Canada, a broker is generally paid a referral fee by the lender, not by their client. Lending institutions will usually provide their best interest rates to the broker ensuring that, as the homebuyer, you don’t have to negotiate to get the best rate.
