Relocating to Vancouver is not like other cities

Vancouver has rules that surprise relocating buyers: a 20% Additional Property Transfer Tax for foreign buyers, a federal ban on foreign residential purchases (extended to 2027), Empty Homes Tax for non-primary-residence owners, and the Speculation and Vacancy Tax at the provincial level. Understanding what applies to your residency status is a prerequisite before you offer on anything.

Greyden's team regularly works with families relocating from Toronto, Calgary, the US, UK, and Asia. The workflow is built around virtual consultations, neighbourhood video tours, school catchment matching, and a written buyer brief before you land.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Greyden Douglas help clients relocating to Vancouver?
Yes. Greyden Douglas and Rain City Properties have a dedicated relocation workflow including virtual consultations, neighbourhood tours, school catchment matching, and guidance through BC-specific taxes and the federal foreign buyer ban.
Can a non-resident buy property in Vancouver?
Canada's Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act restricts most non-resident residential purchases through 2027. Some exemptions apply (work permit holders, international students meeting criteria, refugees). Non-residents buying exempt properties pay a 20% BC Foreign Buyer surcharge.
