Why Yaletown still earns its premium
Despite a decade of tower construction, well-located Yaletown condos — particularly in the early-2000s concrete inventory — remain rate-of-rent leaders downtown. Seawall access, the Roundhouse, and Skytrain proximity keep the area liquid even in slow seasons.
Where HOMS sees value
Sub-700-square-foot units in well-managed strata corporations (low fees relative to amenity load, healthy contingency reserve fund, clean depreciation report) consistently outperform the larger but older inventory on price-per-square-foot appreciation.
What to watch
GST applicability on assignment purchases, strata insurance pass-throughs, and the BC Speculation & Vacancy regime for non-residents. We model each before any Yaletown offer.
