“I’ll wait until the market’s better.”

I hear it every week. Here’s the part that gets missed: for a move-up buyer, a softer market often IS the better market.

Lower prices on the bigger home mean a smaller gap to cross. The people waiting on the sidelines are waiting out the exact conditions that work in their favour.

Not financial advice for everyone — it depends on your situation. But it’s worth knowing where you actually stand before you decide to wait.

Curious? Follow along this month — I’m walking through all of it.

The math most move-up buyers never run — in 5 slides. 👇

Everyone fixates on selling for less. Almost nobody does the other half of the equation: the home you’re buying fell further in real dollars.

That’s the whole secret of moving up in a soft market. The gap shrinks. Swipe through and see it laid out.

Save this for when you’re ready to run your own numbers — or DM me SNAPSHOT and I’ll build them for you. Free, 48 hours, no obligation.

Everyone’s waiting for the “right time” to buy a bigger home. They’ve got it backwards.

When prices soften, they don’t just drop on the home you’d sell — they drop on the home you’d buy. And that’s the bigger number.

So yes, you might sell for a little under peak. But the home you’re moving up to dropped further in actual dollars. The gap you cross to upsize gets smaller — not bigger.

Which means you borrow less to make the same move than you would have two years ago.

I run the real numbers on this every week. Want the math instead of the noise? Follow along — I’m breaking it all down this month.

Grateful doesn't quite cover it. 🙏
Richmond, you voted us #1 Mortgage Broker in the 2026 Richmond A-List — and I'm still letting it sink in.
This recognition means the world because it didn't come from an algorithm or a panel. It came from you — the families, first-time buyers, business owners, and longtime clients who trusted me with one of the biggest financial decisions of your lives. That trust is the whole job, and I don't take a second of it for granted.
A huge shoutout to my associate broker, Patti Gallagher 👏 — none of this happens without you. Your dedication, your care for every client, and your steady hand behind the scenes are a massive part of why people keep coming back. This win is ours, not just mine.
To everyone who voted, referred a friend, or simply picked up the phone when you had a question — thank you. Here's to continuing to earn it, one conversation at a time. ❤️
— Michael Friedman, Premier Mortgage Advisement

"It was the best of times; it was the worst of times..." 📖🏙️
Charles Dickens wasn't talking about the 2026 Vancouver housing market, but he might as well have been. Today’s economy is a "Tale of Two Cities"—on one hand, we see geopolitical tension and energy shocks driving headlines. On the other hand, we see a massive opportunity for those with the fortitude to look past the noise.
In a "K-shaped" economy, the gap between asset owners and those on the sidelines is widening. But history shows us that market "shocks" are often temporary dislocations. The real winners aren't those who perfectly time the bottom, but those who have the discipline to stay the course and build equity when others are fearful.
Whether you're looking to navigate rising costs or looking for the right moment to secure your next high-quality asset, I’m here to help you find the "wisdom" in the middle of the "foolishness." 💡🏠
Let’s talk about how to make the current market work for your long-term goals.
