When is the right time to buy?

As someone who’s been guiding clients through Vancouver’s real estate market for more than a decade, I’m often asked: when is the right time to buy? In reality, most Canadians focus less on trying to predict the market and more on their own readiness and financial comfort. I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to have mortgage pre-approval in place, to consult with trusted advisors, and to keep financial planning front and center. Mortgage protection insurance is also a key part of building financial resilience for homeowners. With nearly 30 years living and working in this region, I know that the best time to buy is when the numbers and the timing truly fit your life.
