Corner lots have become the prize for multiplex development under Vancouver's R1-1 zoning. Two street frontages mean easier parking, more units, and better light — but you'll pay a premium and trade away some privacy. Here's how I weigh it for buyers.
Vancouver sits in the Cascadia subduction zone, yet standard home and strata policies exclude earthquake damage. Here's what buyers and owners need to know about earthquake coverage, percentage deductibles, and seismic retrofitting older houses.
Asphalt, cedar shake, metal, and torch-on flat roofs all age differently in Vancouver rain. Here's how long each lasts, what replacement actually costs, and how roof age changes your offer and your insurance.

Hear from the people who have trusted us with their most significant assets.
Greyden was incredibly attentive, professional, and definitely kept our best interests at heart with our last real estate transaction. He was always willing to chat through ideas and strategize the best ways to achieve our goals. 10/10 would recommend 👍
"Clients
Greyden has gone above and beyond for us. He is 100% totally honest in his opinions and has navigated us away from making some potentially disastrous decisions. I trust him completely and will use him for any and all future real estate transactions. Greyden is a true gem in the real estate industry in Vancouver and BC.
"Clients
Greyden's knowledge of Vancouver and its surrounding area, as well as his patience and demeanour made condo-hunting a smooth process for us. His recommendations for everything from moving companies to lawyers, contractors and inspectors were rock solid.
"Clients
Buying a home was a little scary as the Vancouver market was going so fast and one of the biggest decisions of your life had to be made in a short amount of time. Greyden helped make it a painless adventure to educate us on the market and taking the time to clearly answer our question and concerns. Also appreciated was Greyden's promptness in returning phone calls and/or emails. This helped helped alleviate stress with addressing our concerns quickly. In the end Greyden found us a beautiful home and negotiated a price we didn't think possible. I highly recommend Greyden Douglas for your real estate needs.
"Homebuyer
I have used Greyden Douglas at Rain City properties for 4 separate real estate transactions now. The last of which got us the property at 130k under asking. While I initially selected Greyden because of his reputation in the field, I continue to put my trust in Greyden because of the experience I have had on EACH of these occasions. Greyden listens to your individual needs and economic reality of your situation and translates that in these challenging times into the most successful and enjoyable purchase or sale experience possible. I am excited to work with Greyden again and largely due to his own actions I will be in a financial position to do so again quickly! Thanks Greyden. Recommend 110%
"Repeat Client
We are extremely happy with the level of service Rain City Properties provided us in purchasing our first home. Greyden proved to be extremely reliable and knowledgeable, providing guidance and insight as they helped us narrow our search and hone in on our dream home. Our home purchase would not have been the success it was without their attention to detail, ability to act quickly and understanding of our needs. I would highly recommend Rain City Properties to anyone looking into buying or selling their home! And using their experience they were able to tailor their services to provide us with what we needed to make it as painless as possible.
"First-time Homebuyers
We would highly, highly recommend Greyden as a realtor. We first contacted Greyden on recommendation, in 2020 when we were considering relocating our young family from London England, to Vancouver. He stayed in regular touch with us over 3+ years, keeping us posted on market developments. When we finally made the move and were ready to purchase our first Vancouver home, Greyden was ready to act quickly for us: we secured our gorgeous townhouse in an ideal – and extremely competitive- location.
"Relocated from London
Our clients rate us 5 stars for market knowledge, builder connections, and exceptional service across Metro Vancouver. Read their stories or share your own.
