Congratulation!!!!
The New Real Estate 2026 season has already started. Usually, at this time of the year, I receive the four most popular questions.
Q1: One Percent Realtor-* How does it work for the sellers?
Q2: Would this One Percent commission model be profitable for the sellers?
Q3: Why do you take this cost-effective commission model?
Q4: Will the realtors with the different pay structure show my property?
These are my answers.
A1. Yes. You can get full-service with less commission by working with an experienced Realtor (in my case, with 15 years of experience + 6 years with the Medallion Club, 2016-2022) in the Greater Vancouver area.
A2. Yes. I offer full MLS® representation with transparent fees — helping you save thousands compared to traditional percentage-based commissions*.*"Compared with a broker charging 7% on the first $100,000 and 2.5% on the balance, not all brokers charge the same".
A.3. The real estate business in Canada is a very expensive one to run. We cut expenses and, as a result, we use a cost-effective commission model.You can save 30% up to 70% on commission, and your property gets full marketing exposure and professional support while reducing total commission.
A4. Yes, they will. Almost 99% of the properties that I sold (I have more than 500 happy clients over the past 15 years) were sold in cooperation with other agencies.I am happy to introduce you to our new cost-effective commission model.

Mistake Number 1. Based on my 15 years of experience at One Percent Realty LTD, the fundamental mistake for first-time buyers is starting their home search without a realtor.

"POLYBUTYLENE
To Whom it May Concern…
The original polybutylene that exists appears to have been professionally installed with proper installation methods, using correct crimping pressure & utilizing copper couplings & connectors and appears in good & normal condition,
then it will continue to provide normal ongoing water supply for still an undetermined period of time.
It is my opinion, with 35 years of doing 1,000’s of inspections, that residential use of polybutylene has been (& continuous)to have been given a ‘bad wrap’…
to say that it fails by splitting, corrosion, deterioration under normal pressure & use is, I believe, a falsehood of misinformation…
Where as the fault with most all polybutylene applications lies with the improper installation methods utilizing plastic or polybutylene couplings, along with the improper crimping pressure, the cause of which resulted in cracks & splitting at the joints of the polybutylene tubing…
this theory is supported by the fact that the polybutylene water lines have always been seen to remain in normal good condition…
You are welcome to pass this information to any insurance company and or anyone else…
Here’s what Poly B looks like after removal from a 37-year-old renovation…absolutely still in great condition…
Call any time…

Vancouver & Lower Mainland
It’s March 3rd, 2026, and everyone in Greater Vancouver is asking the exact same thing: Is our market finally crashing, or are we just looking at the 'New Normal'? We just got the February data, and it is a wake-up call for every homeowner in the city."
The numbers don’t lie. Sales just hit a near-historic low—nearly 29% below the 10-year average. Prices are down almost 7% year-over-year. For the first time in a long time, the 'Fear Of Missing Out' has been replaced by the 'Fear of Overpaying.' Buyers aren't rushing anymore—they’re waiting.
So, is it a crash? Not exactly. While inventory is up 37%, we aren't seeing 'panic selling.' Instead, we’re seeing a massive standoff. Sellers are stubborn—they're delisting rather than lowballing—while buyers are sitting on 2.25% interest rates, waiting for the 'perfect' bottom.
This is the New Normal. The days of 'list on Monday, sold by Tuesday with 10 offers' are gone. In March 2026, it’s taking an average of 40 days to sell a home in Burnaby or Vancouver. We’ve shifted from a speculative sprint to a marathon. It’s a market of patience, not a market of luck.
The bottom line? If you’re a buyer, you have the most leverage we’ve seen in years. If you’re a seller, your strategy has to change. Do you think we've hit the bottom yet? Let me know in the comments, and if you want to see the 'Sold' data for your specific street, just text or call me.

Mistake Number 7.
Not Considering Future Needs.
Purchasing a home that meets your current needs without considering future plans can be limiting. Anticipating changes, such as family growth or remote work requirements, ensures the home remains suitable over time.
Mistake Number 4. Overlooking Contractual Rights and Obligations
Significant financial moves like financing a car or opening new credit lines can jeopardize your mortgage approval. Lenders reassess your financial status before closing; new debts can alter your creditworthiness. It's advisable to maintain financial stability until the home purchase is finalized.
Mistake Number 6.
Making Major Financial Changes Before Closing.
Significant financial moves like financing a car or opening new credit lines can jeopardize your mortgage approval. Lenders reassess your financial status before closing; new debts can alter your creditworthiness. It's advisable to maintain financial stability until the home purchase is finalized.
Mistake Number 5.
Overlooking the Importance of Location!!!
Focusing solely on the property and neglecting the neighborhood can lead to dissatisfaction. Factors like school quality, safety, and proximity to work influence long-term happiness and property value. Researching and visiting neighborhoods at different times can provide a comprehensive understanding of the area.
"Homes newly listed on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* rose 46 percent year-over-year in January, as sellers appear eager to enter the market to start the year.
