Your Neighbourhood Insider: February 2026 is here! Get instant clarity on sales activity in your immediate neighbourhood, mortgage rates, rental trends, and the key stats that actually matter for buyers and sellers. We've boiled down the data so you can be the most informed person in the room.


The "Insider" Opportunity: What $1.3M Actually Means for You

While the media focuses on the drop in sales volume, the Detached HPI sitting at $1,373,100 for the Fraser Valley tells the real story of 2026. We aren't seeing a fire sale; we are seeing a market balancing.

With inventory currently 54% above the 10-year average, the "panic-buying" of the last few years is gone. In its place is a window of opportunity for move-up buyers. If you’ve been waiting for a moment where you have the leverage to negotiate on price, inspection, and terms - this is that moment.

How I Can Help You Navigate This

Data is only useful if it's applied to your specific front door. To help you make sense of these shifts, I am opening up two specific resources this month:

  • The 2026 Home Equity Report: Most online "estimators" are currently lagging behind the real-time HPI shifts. I am setting aside time next week to prepare custom, 1-page reports for my neighbors. If you want to know your home’s "Bank Balance" in today’s market, let’s get it started.

  • The $1,000 Referral Bounty: My business is built on the trust of this community. If you know someone navigating this complex market who needs a data-first approach, send them my way. I’d love to say thank you with a $1,000 referral check upon their successful closing.
