Growth in home prices since 2018 is estimated to be 5% lower in taxable regions in BC compared with non-taxable regions due to the SVT.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 However, these impacts effectively disappear if Metro Vancouver markets are excluded from the analysis, suggesting the impact of the SVT has been limited to Metro Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 A recovery of home sales is underway around the province, and without addressing significant supply issues, any progress made toward improved affordability looks to be short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The SVT\u2019s impact on the rental market also appears to be more material in Metro Vancouver, where there was a record increase in rental supply, yet it is not possible to disentangle this from impacts of the Empty Homes Tax and short-term rental regulations that were implemented around the same time.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/?attachment_id=15130\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15130\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-15130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BCREA-tax-288x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BCREA-tax-288x215.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BCREA-tax-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BCREA-tax.jpg 1028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcrea.bc.ca\/economics\/estimating-the-impacts-of-the-speculation-and-vacancy-tax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BCREA Market Intelligence Report : Estimating the Impacts of the Speculation and Vacancy Tax<\/a> by Brendon Ogmundson | BCREA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest BCREA Market Intelligence Report : Estimating the Impacts of the Speculation and Vacancy Tax estimates the Speculation and Vacancy tax reduced home sales in taxable regions in BC &hellip;
