Real Estate Advisor *PREC
Together with my husband Scott, we are the proud founders of Resident Experts. Raised on Vancouver’s West Side and immersed in a real estate family, my love for this city and industry runs deep. With nearly a decade of experience alongside The Kavanagh Group, one of the best teams in the City, I’ve honed my expertise by dealing with hundreds of clients. I prioritize my clients’ best interests, leveraging my tenacity, extensive knowledge, diligent work ethic, unwavering optimism, strategic thinking, and exceptional negotiation skills that have built my stellar reputation. With an intimate knowledge of the Vancouver West Side, I possess a deep understanding of its neighborhoods and intricacies. Matching clients with their perfect home and negotiating favourable terms on behalf of my sellers brings me immense fulfillment and joy, making me a passionate Realtor.
Family is everything, and I’m fortunate to work alongside my husband. With my brother and his wife and two kids living next door, and my parents just a short stroll away along the sea wall, we cherish our close-knit community. Being a mom fills me with boundless joy, as I delight in experiencing the world through my son’s eyes. When it comes to self-care, I find pleasure in indulging in brunches with friends, going for runs, biking the seawall and treating myself to regular foot massages. Life’s simple pleasures make all the difference!

✨ February Stats ✨

“February brings balance to Metro Vancouver’s housing market”
The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,827 on Metro Vancouver’s MLS in February 2025, an 11.7 % decrease from the 2,070 sales recorded in February 2024.
“After the rush of new listings in January, home sales and new listings in February were closer to historical averages, which has positioned the overall market in balanced conditions,” Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics and data analytics said. “With a potential Bank of Canada rate cut on the table for mid-March, homebuyers may find slightly improved borrowing conditions while enjoying the largest selection of homes on the market since pre-pandemic times.”
“Balanced market conditions typically bring a flatter price trajectory, and we’ve seen prices across all segments remain in a holding pattern for the past few months,” Lis said. “But with the active spring season just around the corner, it will be interesting to see whether buyers take advantage of some of the most favorable market conditions seen in years, and whether sellers change their willingness to bring their properties to market.”
Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for February 2025 is 14.8 %. By property type, the ratio is 10.7 % for detached homes, 18.5 % for attached, and 16.8 % for apartments.
For a detailed analysis of the latest trends in Vancouver’s real estate market, visit our latest blog post (link in bio). We cover sales data across key areas and will keep sharing neighborhood-specific statistics and trends on our social platforms. Our aim is to give you a clear view of the market dynamics to help you make informed decisions.
