Our young and vibrant City has had a short but colourful history. Vancouver, at the time of incorporation in 1886, had a population of just 1,000 residents and the City was essentially just the small area in downtown surrounding Gastown. Today, only 129 years later, the city has reached over 640,000 residents and the Metro Area has surpassed 2.4 million. In this Kiyukai Breeze - Page 1 The image cannot be displayed.

Breeze 5 月号 企友会(バンクーバー日系ビジネス協会)・マンスリーレポート Kiyukai Japanese Business Association Monthly Report 1987 – 2015 City we call home, minorities are the majority, and it’s hard to come across a second let alone third or fourth generation local. Through it all, we’ve found a balance between the Bohemians and the Businessmen to build a unique and distinct Vancouver and to find the common values that define what it is to be a Vancouverite. Earlier this month, an Art Wholesaler stopped by our office wanting to clear out some framed, Old Vancouver photographs left over from a bulk purchase by one of our neighbours. I snapped up several of them, one of which was a picture of English Bay in the early 1900’s. A week later, I enjoyed a late afternoon seeing the sunset at English Bay. In the photo, taken 100 years ago, houses still lined Beach Avenue, where today there are a row of apartments and condos. The early English settlers with the men adorning top hats and ladies with long dresses had all gone, and been replaced by a sea of languages and cultures representing every continent. The only thing that remained the same, other than the beautiful Bay, was the old-world charm of the Sylvia Hotel. Just as much as one of the homes lining Beach Avenue was imaginably unaffordable to many Vancouverites back then, in today’s market it seems any house in this City is now unimaginably unaffordable to most. When we look at the sudden increase of real estate prices, those who have benefited most are those who had lived and owned in this City from decades ago. Those who struggle the most are the young buyers and new immigrants who have to scrimmage a reasonable down payment without the capital gains of long term residents. In the past 15 years or so, Metro Van has experienced some serious growing pains. From the water cooler to the headline news, “Vancouver Real Estate” and “Too Expensive” have become household slogans. Today, houses on the sought after Westside now have a Benchmark Price of just under $2.5 Million and Eastside homes have now surpassed the $1M benchmark. What’s perhaps not highlighted, however, is that within a one hour commute to Vancouver City Centre, detached homes can still be found in the $500K-$600K range in the suburbs like Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and Surrey. Just this past weekend, a rally was held downtown where protestors spoke on public concerns about unaffordability in the City, and made note of the huge increase in real estate prices as compared to salaries. But what’s perhaps overlooked is that with changing property types and increased densities, pre-sale condos including micro lofts priced in the $100K range have emerged in Surrey, in Richmond/Burnaby/North Vancouver/New Westminster, brand new one bedroom condos can still be purchased for $200K-$300K, and within the City of Vancouver in the $300K-$400K range. In fact, in the past 5 years, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, Apartment (Condo) Benchmark price has only raised 3% on average. The immense growth of the City and Metro area has also resulted in our growing sky train and public transit network, the extension of our beautiful seawall, new city parks, major sports teams, headlining concerts, and brand new neighbourhoods complete with community centres and schools in urban areas. The city of thousand has grown to a Metro area of millions. And when you share a community with an increasing number of people you must make compromises and concessions. In the last 15 years, it seems it is the compromises and concessions that were not given the time needed to keep up with the prices. Metro Kiyukai Breeze - Page 2 The image cannot be displayed.

Breeze 5 月号 企友会(バンクーバー日系ビジネス協会)・マンスリーレポート Kiyukai Japanese Business Association Monthly Report 1987 – 2015 Vancouverites must compromise on expectations of what is an affordable property. Just the same the policy makers have started looking at concessions on zoning and taxation that helps affordability and families stay in the Metro area. The reality of the Vancouver Real Estate market is that prices have increased immensely, and these prices are here to stay. Vancouver Real Estate is expensive as a result of the free and open market we live in. Whether it is too expensive, is apparently a matter of personal experience. And if the new Vancouver is not your cup of tea, the reality is one can still find the Vancouver from decades ago - in many areas of Beautiful British Columbia, just not within our city limits. And if Vancouver is still the place for you, one must make compromises and accept that a family home is no longer a white picket fence, but maybe a condo or a townhouse.
