Hey BC'ers.. how are we feeling about these new taxes? Personally I'm not going to be impacted by this 😂 but I think overall this will actually mobilize more votes for Cons than it would for the NDP. IMHO Eby has been getting bad advice and I'm pretty confident the NDP will lose this election.

Perhaps instead of rage-baiting about things that aren't even happening, PP and his crew should worry more about losing more Conservative seats to the Liberals.

"Motivated Seller!" for another Brentwood condo. Purchase price unknown but marketing materials state that pre-sale prices started at $489,900 back in 2021. Now listed at $399K after failing to sell the previous 3 times it was listed. #VanRE

VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
Dozens of active listings in Brentwood, with 25 in this building alone. This condo was purchased new for $601,900 (+GST) in late 2020. After failing to sell during the spring/summer last year, the seller had the bright idea to raise the asking price by $30K to $529K. Now re-listed at $485K. #VanRE

VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 17/02/2026
This Brentwood condo is currently listed at $399K... there's no previous sale data available, but the unit directly above (803) with the same square footage, sold for $534,900 (+GST) brand new. If this unit sold for the same price in 2020, that's 30% off the original price. #VanRE

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: #3E #GoodvsEvil
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: 

We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. 

I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. 

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. 


He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Someone was suckered into buying this leasehold False Creek townhome for $900K in 2022. The new owner renovated the property, and now it's available via court ordered sale for $689K. Lease to 2040 with the option to extend to 2060. It's been listed since Sept 2025, still no accepted offer. #VanRE

Bumped the price up to $649K and not surprisingly, it didn't sell. Taken off the market Jan 1st... will see what the sellers try to sell for in the spring. IMO there is a rather large glut of condos listed in the $1000 psf range in Vancouver and very few interested buyers. #VanRE

This 6 year old Collingwood condo next to Joyce Skytrain was heavily marketed to Asia - where buyers likely saw the Vancouver address and didn't realize it's near the Burnaby border. Bought in 2022 for $732,600 (not sure if GST applied) It's currently listed at $474,900 #VanRE

RiverSky condo at the New Westminster Quay... Seller has been trying to sell since Sept and has reduced the price further to $445K after failing to sell at $514,900 then $479,900. Seller bought the unit in May of 2022 for $630K. If they get their price, they'd realize a loss of over $200K! #VanRE
