Meet Jay: A Local’s Take on Vancouver Real Estate

Hey everyone — Jay here from Vancouver Home Hub! I’ve been living in Greater Vancouver since 2007, and while I’m not a realtor, I’ve always been passionate about real estate. In 2022, my spouse and I bought our first home without any outside help, so I know how tough it can be — from saving for a down payment to navigating the market on your own.

I started this site to share honest experiences, local insights, and research-backed info to help others on the same journey. I’m not here to sell you anything — just offering real advice from personal experience and a genuine passion for Vancouver’s housing scene.
