MARKET ANALYSIS
-
Our market saw a notable surge during the pandemic as remote work became more common, and more people sought homes with access to outdoor recreation while remaining within commuting distance to Vancouver. This demand continued post-pandemic with Squamish seeing a surge in population growth, new development, and buyers continuing the search for a more lifestyle-focused community. Demand for detached homes, townhomes, and condos increased significantly, with listing inventory struggling to keep up with demand.
In recent years, despite shifts in interest rates and broader economic changes, the market has shown signs of stabilizing while remaining active and desirable. As development continues and the community evolves, Squamish is expected to remain a sought-after destination for both lifestyle buyers and real estate investors alike.
