Adam and Matt Scalena
About this episode

Here’s something few could have predicted: inventory in Metro Vancouver has almost doubled in six months and a rate cut has done little to spark sales. Many investors are sitting on their hands. But smart money continues to target Vancouver and there are many reasons why.

Wendy Waters, Vice President, Research Services & Strategy at GWL Realty Advisors, returns to the show in this very unique moment to provide a data-backed view of why investing in Vancouver still makes sense for pension funds and institutional money.

Where are we at in the market cycle? Is now the time to buy? And what real estate asset class will outperform the market in the coming years? Tune in for a candid behind-the-scenes analysis that is usually reserved for those in the corner office!
