Vancouver Housing Stays Globally Desirable | The market is moving — your wealth should be too! Call to see how we can help shape your financial future.

Vancouver continues to hold its own on the world stage, ranking 24th out of 1,000 global cities—no small feat considering the ongoing challenges of housing affordability. The city's strong economic fundamentals and deep well of talent keep it highly desirable, even as the cost of putting down roots here remains a pressing concern. According to a recent study, Vancouver’s median multiple is nearly 11, marking it as one of the least affordable major markets worldwide. Residents here spend a greater share of their income on housing than almost anywhere else, making affordability the defining constraint for many families and investors. As someone who’s spent 20+ years in Vancouver real estate and 15 years building homes, I see firsthand how limited supply and slower housing starts—projected through 2026—are leaving buyers searching for options. This is why I’ve made it my mission to help clients and communities explore solutions like multiplex development, which is a key step toward bridging the gap and making home ownership more attainable while preserving what makes Vancouver so attractive.
