In Episode 91 of The Real Deal Pod, we break down two major shifts happening in today’s market—and what they mean for you as a buyer or homeowner. First, we unpack Vancouver’s newest prefab housing project near Trout Lake. It’s being positioned as a faster, more affordable way to build—but is it really the solution? We walk through what prefab actually means, where the bottlenecks are showing up, and why this could reshape how housing gets delivered across BC. Then we dive into one of the most important conversations you’re probably not having: what can go wrong in the final 7 days before closing. Most buyers think they’re safe once conditions are removed. The reality? That’s when risk is at its highest.
