William’s experience and analysis
After serving Greater Vancouver clients since 1992, William’s working rule is simple: a statistic becomes useful only when it is connected to the decision in front of the client.
A regional benchmark can describe direction, but it cannot price a particular home or determine whether a specific property is a sound purchase.

Evidence to place beside the headline
A useful review narrows the data and then compares it with what buyers and sellers are doing now.
- Recent comparable sales with meaningful adjustments
- Current competing listings and recent expiries
- Days on market and sale-to-list context for the relevant segment
- Property condition, building history and likely future costs
- Interest-rate and financing sensitivity where relevant
03
Sources and update discipline
Market articles should identify the publication date and link to the underlying board, government, municipal or property documents used. Time-sensitive claims should be reviewed before a client relies on them.
- Greater Vancouver REALTORS® market reports
- Fraser Valley Real Estate Board statistics
- Bank of Canada rate information
- Municipal policy and property-specific documents
