East Van — The Move Most Buyer Never See Coming Edited
Most buyers start their search backwards — they pick a property type and try to make their life fit inside it. That's how you end up looking at the wrong thing for months.
In this video, I walk through a real client story: a buyer who started in condos, pivoted to detached, and ended up in Grandview Woodlands — with a rental suite, a development lot, and a plan that actually fit his life.
I also break down the three stages of Vancouver property ownership and how to know which one you're actually in right now.
East Van attached condos are running at a 21% sales ratio — the strongest submarket in the city. Mount Pleasant is at 37%. Knight is at 40%. The fundamentals are there. The question is whether it's the right move for your stage.
