Allister and Geoff covered a lot in this episode. Geoff recapped his Whistler ski trip and the perks of an Epic Pass, while Allister shared a big week of closing deals and meeting new clients. They also touched on the Cybertruck (not Allister’s style) and teased a new podcast segment. But mainly they discussed the shifts and struggles of the BC Real Estate Market.
The real estate labor crisis was a key focus, with BC needing 89,000 workers by 2041. Challenges like aging professionals and immigration policies were discussed, along with solutions like training programs and industry collaboration.
Market updates highlighted a seasonal slowdown but strong year-over-year growth. They emphasized pricing and strategy adjustments for properties not selling within 30 days.
Self-employment challenges were also front and center, particularly around financing. Geoff shared strategies to boost borrowing power, like accurate income reporting and exploring B-lender options.
The duo wrapped up by spotlighting BC’s real estate opportunities, like White Rock and Abbotsford, while planning for the holiday season and future episodes.
