Speculation Tax. Just Kicking The Can Down The Road!

February 28th, 2018, Owen Bigland

In this blog I’m going to talk more about the new speculation tax and how it’s going to do very little to address the real problem in the Vancouver housing market. That real problem is billions of untaxed dollars entering the housing market and the abuse of the principal residence exemption. I will also ( for about the 10th time ) give you my suggestions on what needs to be done to at least help level the playing field.

My quarterly market update for 2018. Not much has changed over the past 3 years. Inventory remains ultra low and we continue to be in a strong sellers market for condos and townhomes. Until inventory levels start to build I’m not expecting much in the way of price relief. I also touch on how the new mortgage qualification rules are only perpetuating the problem.

February 13th, 2018, Owen Bigland

This is a follow up blog to one I did entitled “Mixing millionaires with social housing” and why the city of Vancouver continues to build social housing in some of Canada’s and N. America's most expensive neighbourhoods for Real Estate. Would it not be better for the city to sell this expensive land to a developer... then take that money and build 3 times as many units in an area like Surrey?
