Head on over to check out some market related updates as well as what Susan has to say about recent trends downtown and on the Westside.

Home prices in Greater Vancouver, Canada, continue to rise as the region's spring homebuying season got off to a strong start. 

Buyers flocked to the market during the first quarter, fueled by heavy sales volume in the Richmond and Vancouver West areas. Although housing sales slowed in April, the benchmark housing price increased, topping $620,000.

Recent changes in mortgages rules could make it even tougher for first-time homebuyers to enter the market, considered one of the priciest housing markets in the world.
