597!!!!!!!! empty!!!! homes!!!!
in Vancouver in 2025!!!!!!
Also a good reminder that Empty Homes Tax data offers a useful view into unadorned inventory. (As does the Speculation and Vacancy Tax data, but the 2025 municipal breakdown is not out yet.)

Vancouver adding multiplex into the exemptions from Empty Homes Tax for new-builds currently offered to larger (5+ unit) buildings. Kind of fascinating how "missing middle" bumps into all these little categorical policies based on # of units (e.g. strata; insurance; etc).
