VREP #407 | The Next Land Rush? Historic...

Adam and Matt Scalena
About this episode

Did the province just incite the next land rush? Municipalities have until June 30th to revamp single family zoned real estate across the province. Density is coming. But what does that mean for land values? And did we just witness the death of the single family home?

Associate Professor Tom Davidoff sits down with Matt & Adam to discuss landmark changes to housing in the Lower Mainland and the province, and whether new policies will move the needle on affordability.

Also, what are Tom's thoughts on the state of the market, interest rates and inflation, and where prices are heading in 2024? All this and more in this action-packed VREP master class.
