March is behind us and the alarming Vancouver real estate headlines are making the rounds again. Prices are falling, inventory is at record highs & sales volumes have plummeted. And every single one of these headlines is true. But are they entirely accurate? Adam & Matt sit down this week to unpack the top 5 narratives shaping how buyers are approaching Vancouver real estate, digging past the screaming headlines to tell a very different story of this spring market. What is the data actually saying beneath the headline price and inventory numbers? Should buyers be worried that sales volumes are more than 30% below the 10-year average? And with uncertainty dominating the news cycle, is that actually what's driving buyer behaviour in Vancouver? Don't miss this one.

A war in the Middle East is fueling inflation, rattling bond markets, and pushing fixed rates higher at a pace few saw coming. Kyle Green, founder of Green Mortgage Team and one of Canada's top brokers, sits down with Adam & Matt to break down what rising rates and a weakening Canadian job market mean for borrowers, why some homeowners should consider breaking their mortgage early before rates climb further, and whether Vancouver real estate can weather the storm. Are Vancouver homeowners already behind the curve on their mortgage strategy? With inflation rising and jobs softening, which way does the Bank of Canada turn? And in a market full of uncertainty, what does the smartest move look like for Vancouver homeowners, investors, and buyers right now? A timely conversation.

For three decades, Frances Bula covered every housing crisis, every broken promise, and every Vancouver council that overpromised and underdelivered. Now she's done watching. The veteran Globe and Mail journalist sits down with Adam & Matt this week to talk about her decision to run for City Council with OneCity Vancouver in the fall civic election. From performative property tax freezes to vanishing lifeguards to why people are really living on Vancouver's streets, Frances pulls no punches on where the city has gone wrong and what it would take to fix it. Why does she think the current mayor and council have lost the plot? What does a functioning city actually look like? And what would Frances Bula actually do differently if elected? The race for Vancouver City Hall just got more interesting.

The spring market many buyers and sellers have been waiting for may not be coming - at least not in the way Vancouver has historically thought of it. GVR Chief Economist Andrew Lis sits down with Adam & Matt this week to unpack why 2026 is shaping up to look remarkably like 2025 & why what feels like a slow market today may simply be the new normal. From the near-collapse of investor demand and a historic vacancy rate spike to a shadow inventory of unsold condos, a slowdown in immigration, and a demographic shift decades in the making, Andrew maps the structural forces quietly reshaping this market. How long before inventory gets chewed through and prices stabilize? Has the investment thesis in Vancouver fundamentally broken down? And is the red-hot market this city grew up expecting actually gone for good? This conversation will change how you think of our market!

BC is staring down a $13.5 billion deficit. Yes, with a B! And the 2026 provincial budget will only make things worse. BCREA Senior VP of Government Relations Trevor Hargreaves sits down with Adam & Matt this week to unpack surprise PST expansions, new tax hikes, and a government trying to grow the economy with policies that discourage investment and development. Trevor breaks down why the Vancouver Board of Trade held an urgent press conference calling for change, where the political landscape of British Columbia is heading, and why a lack of consultation on the part of David Eby's government keeps leading to hasty policy. With criticism coming from every direction, can the NDP hold it together? Is the province's approach to taxation doing more harm than good? And could a shift in political leadership finally change course for BC? Don't miss this one!

Toronto's housing market has hit historic lows with 17 straight months of year-over-year price declines, and the ripple effects are being felt across the country. Canadian Real Estate Investor podcast hosts Daniel Foch and Nick Hill sit down with Adam & Matt to deliver a raw, unfiltered look at what's happening in Canada's largest market and what it signals for Vancouver and beyond.

What started in 1973 as a lifeline for cash-poor retirees has morphed into one of BC's most lopsided housing policies, one that disproportionately benefits the people who need it least. Insurance professional and self-described policy obsessive Phil Webb sits down with Adam & Matt to expose BC's property tax deferral program, a seniors benefit with no income or wealth limits that has become an investment vehicle for some of Vancouver's wealthiest homeowners. Far from helping the house-poor, enrolled homes in Vancouver average $3.4 million in assessed value & in West Vancouver one in seven properties takes advantage of the program. How did a program designed to protect vulnerable seniors end up subsidizing hedge fund managers and mansion owners? Why does BC run the most generous version of this program in the entire country? And is there a simple fix that politicians are too afraid to touch? Don't miss this one.
