British Columbia’s government celebrated the first anniversary of one of its cornerstone housing programs at the groundbreaking of a 179-unit rental building in North Vancouver, which it says went from concept to construction in 14 months.

A new survey found that nearly half of British Columbians are willing to make sacrifices for their mortgage payments as long as it doesn’t harm their health.

Four B.C. Realtors have been ordered to pay a combined $20,250 after publishing “false and misleading ads and statements” online, according to a provincial regulator.

Despite housing supply in the Vancouver area continuing to rise, the number of homes that changed hands in the region last month fell to the lowest levels for March since 2019.

A B.C. mortgage broker has agreed to pay a $45,000 administrative penalty after admitting to submitting false or misleading information to a lender in a mortgage application.

The agency that regulates mortgage brokers in B.C. says discipline proceedings are completed or ongoing for nearly two dozen people who used the services of unregistered mortgage broker Jay Kanth Chaudhary.

Home sales declined in the Vancouver area last month, as the city’s real estate board says market conditions were in balanced territory amid a moderate increase in new listings.

In 2023, Dinny Corcoran died before he could finish building his off-grid sanctuary on a small private island in B.C. The piece of property – along with the half-completed home – is on the market, waiting for a buyer with a similar vision.

A judge has ordered the sale of a Burnaby home for more than $275,000 less than the buyer and seller initially agreed upon, after the seller failed to install a “platform lift” as required under the contract between them.
