In this boots-on-the-ground market brief, Kevin Bratch breaks down why Summer–Fall 2025 is a buyer’s market in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley—and how smart investors are scooping discounted deals before the next run-up. You’ll hear what’s really happening (pricing, inventory, activity), the five catalysts that could flip sentiment fast (rate cuts, policy easing, flip-tax changes, local lending flexibility, and the FIFA 2026 spotlight), plus practical ways to source and evaluate opportunities without overpaying. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, this episode is your signal to get in position before the switch back to a seller’s market.
