Hey YouTubers, Mike Martins here – back with another hard-hitting report on Canada’s housing crisis.

We’re heading into uncharted territory in Vancouver. According to a brand-new article from Better Dwelling (July 2025), the Greater Vancouver real estate market just posted its worst July in 18 years.

In this video, we cover:

📉 Home sales down 30.1% year-over-year
📈 Inventory surges 32% from last year
💰 Benchmark price hits $1.087M – slowing growth for 5th straight month
📊 Sales-to-listings ratio collapses to 17.1% – worst since 2014
🧨 Is a correction finally turning into a crash?

This is NOT about supply & demand — it’s about affordability, and I’ve been warning about this for over 7 years on this channel.

👀 Remember: When Vancouver falls, it drags the rest of Canada with it.
Toronto, Kelowna, Kamloops, Victoria — no market is immune.

We are entering the Great Canadian Blame Game Era:
Who’s to blame?
🏦 Banks? 🏘️ Foreign investors? 🧓 Boomers? 🏦 Central planners?

We break it all down.
