How Tariffs Affect Vancouver’s Housing Market — What Buyers & Sellers Should Know

🔑 What Are Tariffs, and Why Should You Care?

Tariffs are extra costs added to goods imported into Canada — including lumber, steel, appliances, and other materials used to build homes.

➡️ When tariffs go up, building costs often rise too.

➡️ Higher costs = more expensive homes.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or planning to sell, tariffs can shape the housing market — sometimes in surprising ways!

📊 Here’s How Tariffs May Impact Vancouver’s Housing Market:

💡 What This Means for You (as a Buyer or Seller):

✅ For Buyers:

• Prices may stay elevated in some segments, but watching for slowdowns could offer opportunities.

• Move-in-ready homes might be more attractive (and competitive) due to higher renovation costs.

✅ For Sellers:

• If you’re selling a turnkey property, buyers may value it more than ever.

• With fewer new builds coming up, your resale home could stand out.

🔍 Bottom Line:

Tariffs might not be front-page news, but they quietly impact your buying and selling decisions.
