Cynthia Jagger and Mark Goodman, Principals at Goodman Commercial Inc., are pleased to announce they will be speaking at and sponsoring the upcoming Vancouver Real Estate Forum and Western Canada Apartment Investment Conference, the largest annual conferences on real estate investment in the region.

Vancouver Real Estate Forum

On Tuesday, March 31 September 30, 2020, Cynthia Jagger will be moderating the multi-family panel at the Vancouver Real Estate Forum. The session is entitled The multi-residential market continues to be buoyant with strong demand and low vacancy: but what impact will government policies have going forward?  Vacancy in Vancouver’s multi-residential market has continued to be well under 2% as it remains a source of relatively more affordable housing. However, provincial legislation capping rent increases at 2.5% and soaring property taxes have put upward pressure on owners with older buildings that need updating. How is Vancouver’s new Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy impacting the market? Combined with high land and construction costs, will purpose built rental still be feasible? Is condominium development a better alternative?  What are investors doing in this market under these conditions? For more information and to register for the event, please click here.
