TORONTO, ONTARIO – FEBRUARY 18, 2026 — Despite experiencing a slowdown in real estate activity in 2025, B.C. realtor David Wiebe pointed to rising prices in Squamish as an indication for market optimism on the Feb. 18 edition of AvranceCorp Presents.
According to the 2021 Canadian Census, the population of Squamish is approximately 30,000 people with an annual growth rate of three per cent. It is one of the top 10 fastest growing communities in Canada with its proximity to the mountains and Northern Vancouver being major factors.
“It was a pretty slow year if we are looking at averages. 2025 compared to different years,” Wiebe explained to AvranceCorp Presents host Kenai Andrews. “It wasn’t a great year for real estate, but things in general still went up in Squamish in 2025.”
“That is different than the markets around us,” Wiebe added. “Whistler, can’t say the same, Vancouver can’t say the same. Those are the markets that I watch, Squamish being the closest. The market was okay in Squamish and bucked the trend for the markets around us. I believe that is because Squamish is slightly insulated right now.”
“The demand for living in Squamish is reasonably high,” Wiebe continued. “It will be interesting to see how Squamish performs in 2026 relative to the rest of the province of British Columbia given its insulation as a desirable living community.”
AvranceCorp Presents airs Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. ET on the AvranceCorp Developments YouTube channel.
