Stories I'm hearing from people in the real estate industry in Vancouver is that the recreational property market is on fire right now, as tech workers realize that there is a very good chance that WFH options will be permanent and so accordingly they can buy some property on the Sunshine Coast, Tofino, or by some lake in the Interior and go work there for large parts of the year.
The additional upside is that Vancouver real estate is so expensive that even many relatively wealthy techies are locked out of buying, so this is an opportunity for people to buy something.
- elevenoh 6y agoI'm seeing a lotta condo dwellers who love cities in Toronto/Montreal/Calgary looking to move to dt vancouver since covid. Better walkability, climate & access to nature. When nightclubs, irl events & meetups etc. reopen, I think there'll be a rush back to healthy cities, as opposed to looking at remote spots. Humans tend to love irl connection.
