This week the BC Government announced a plan for new legislation governing short term rental accommodation with the aim of bringing more long-term rental properties to the rental market. The new legislation means all short-term rental sites such as Airbnb, VRBO etc. will have to share data with municipalities and there be an increase in fines for bylaw infractions.

The legislation limits short-term rentals to within a host’s home, or a basement suite or laneway home on the property where they reside. However, there are some exceptions with more than a dozen resort areas and municipalities with populations of less than 10,000 people can initially be exempt from the principle residence requirement.

It remains to be seen if this new legislation will have the desired impact on the long-term rental market and also what the overall affect will be on tourism, given the number of visitors to BC who use short term rentals for their vacation.

Seasonality, interest rates temper sales in the Fraser Valley

SURREY, BC – After five months of successive increases, real estate sales in the Fraser Valley dropped in response to a combination of continued rising interest rates and the summer sales cycle.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 1,368 sales in July on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), a decrease of 29.3 per cent below June, but still 37.8 per cent above July 2022.

July new listings, at 2,855, were also down by 16.6 per cent compared to last month but 19.7 per cent higher than July 2022 levels, and virtually on par with the ten-year average. Active listings continued to climb, increasing by 4.3 per cent over June, bringing the total inventory available for sale in the region to 6,199.

“Summer is typically a slower period for the real estate sector and the higher interest rates are contributing to the market slowdown,” said Narinder Bains, Chair of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “We’re seeing less traffic and fewer multiple offers as buyers and sellers put a pause on decisions and we expect this trend to continue until the fall cycle.”
