With all the political tensions in the United States we thought it timely to consider how US elections, court rulings, protests, and/or policy shifts can affect our local real estate market. 

While Canada has its own economic drivers, our housing market does not operate in isolation. The U.S. is our largest trading partner, our closest cultural influence, and a dominant force in global financial markets. Political instability south of the border ripples straight into Canadian housing markets but the impact isn’t always economic. It’s psychological. 

Business Confidence 

Because Canada’s economy is tightly tied to U.S. trade and capital markets, uncertainty can dampen business confidence — which then affects employment, housing and lending.  If markets fear instability investors may move money into bonds (lowering yields) or demand higher yields due to risk. 

Lender Confidence

U.S. political unrest indirectly influences bond yields, central bank messaging, and inflation expectations. While the Bank of Canada sets domestic rates independently, global financial pressure can influence policy tone.  Either scenario influences mortgage rates — which directly affects affordability and consumer psychology.

Buyer Confidence

When headlines are dominated by instability, buyers tend to pause. Even if their personal finances haven’t changed, uncertainty makes people more conservative.  We see this play out as buyers delaying purchase decisions, avoiding bidding wars and offering below asking. 

In uncertain or transitional markets: 

    •    Buyers keep more cash on hand 

    •    Scrutinize the value or small and large purchases more closely

    •    Homes priced above the most recent sales in the area sit longer

    •    Negotiations (and emotions) intensify

In robust markets like Surrey and White Rock, shifts in buyer psychology can noticeably cool activity.

Investor Confidence 

Investors tend to be globally aware and market sensitive. If U.S. political unrest impacts global equities or bond markets, this category of buyers may redirect capital or sit on the sidelines temporarily.

Seller Confidence 

Sellers are deeply influenced by media tone. If news cycles feel chaotic, potential sellers tend to wait until things appear more settled - especially those looking to downsize who are often selling their largest asset.  

Further, many sellers are also buyers.  If they’re unsure about broader economic conditions, they delay selling — especially if upgrading means taking on larger debt. 

American political unrest typically causes short-term confidence swings, not long-term structural damage, unless broader global recessionary forces are triggered. The real driver in real estate is perception. Housing is emotional.  Confidence is momentum. Momentum shapes markets. 

There is however opportunity in this “wait and see” environment. 

For sellers: equity gain consideration paired with patience, strategic pricing and presentation can get your home sold in a short amount of time for a solid price. 

For buyers: Uncertainty reduces competition providing you with time to consider options and creates leverage in negotiations. 

Regardless of conditions, informed clients make stronger real estate decisions.

Dear clients, neighbors, and friends,

Spring is almost here and if you’re a homeowner thinking about selling, you’re not alone. Traditionally, spring has always been one of the busiest and most rewarding seasons to list a home and while the 2026 market may look different from the frenzied pace of past years, there are still powerful reasons to feel confident about selling this season.

Here are five reasons to sell your home this spring …

1. Spring demand is real:  Seasonality matters. Spring consistently brings more foot traffic and stronger buyer engagement.  Longer days, improved weather, and the desire to move before summer drive increased buyer activity every year. Families aiming to move before the next school year begin their search now.  Depending on the weather, 2026 may start sooner rather than later. Regardless of the start, spring remains the strongest seasonal window in real estate.

2. Inventory is healthy:  More sellers may enter the market in spring however inventory levels in many markets remain below pre-pandemic norms.  That means well-priced homes still stand out and sell successfully.  Further,  more balanced conditions lead to more sustainable markets and a less stressful transaction for all.

3. Equity gains are significant:  Over the past several years homeowners have built significant equity. Even with price growth stabilizing in the last few years many sellers are sitting on strong equity gains.  Gains vary from region to region, but according to the Fraser Valley MLS Home price index release in January; Surrey, Sullivan/Panorama, South Surrey and White Rock have all seen 18% to 21% value growth over the last five years. Upsizing, downsizing, or relocating equity equals leverage.

4. Serious buyers are a thing:  Although some have to sell first, today’s buyers aren’t window-shopping. Higher borrowing costs mean those actively touring homes are motivated.  When they find the right home, at a fair price, they are prepared to act.

5. You are in control:  You can’t control interest rates, inflation, or the noise from the U.S. but you can control pricing, preparation and timing. Sellers who approach the market strategically are still achieving excellent outcomes.

 For those already on the market …

If your home is already listed and market response has been lack-lustre you might be wondering what has changed. 

Although global economic factors are in flux the truth is today’s market is more balanced.  During the height of the pandemic-era boom, historically low rates fuelled intense competition, now buyers are more selective, more cautious, and taking more time with their decisions.  Life events like job relocations, growing families, and downsizing don’t pause because of interest rates. What has changed is urgency. This change is not bad but it does require those of us selling a home today to adjust our expectations.  

If your home is priced correctly and presented well, it will attract attention but, in most cases, the process will take longer then in years past.

So, hang in there friends!

Even if showings are slower than expected the buyer who truly needs your home is out there. Patience will protect your negotiating power and help you avoid making reactive decisions.  Spring 2026 may not look like the hyper-competitive market of a few years ago but that’s okay. Real estate markets evolve but the fundamentals remain the same. 

If you’re thinking about making a move this spring or looking to reposition your listing, now is the time to plan strategically and step forward with clarity.
