Richmond

It's a historic fishing village with a genuinely walkable waterfront core — Fisherman's Wharf, the Britannia Heritage Shipyards, and a 1km boardwalk — alongside newer townhomes and condos in Steveston North, giving it a distinct small-village feel within the larger city.

The Richmond Olympic Oval is a major legacy facility from the 2010 Games, and the city's 47.5km perimeter trail is popular for cycling and walking around the entire island.

Yes. Given what Richmond is known for, the opportunities that fit best are storefront retail, small strata commercial units, and established businesses such as restaurants and convenience stores. Commercial financing works differently from a home mortgage, usually with a larger down payment and closer scrutiny of the property's income or your business, and for this kind of property the key checks are the lease terms, the business's real financials, and any licences that need to transfer. Manan handles commercial and industrial sales and leasing; his retail, restaurant, and convenience store guides go deeper on each property type.

It depends on what you're after. Richmond is best summed up as “Historic charm meets urban energy”, and it tends to suit buyers who want a turnkey home in an established community. Visiting at different times of day and comparing it with nearby communities is the best way to judge the fit.

According to the September 2026 Greater Vancouver Realtors benchmarks, typical prices were — Richmond: $1,871,100 for a detached home, $1,025,000 for a townhome, and $635,600 for an apartment or condo. Benchmarks describe a typical home, so a specific property can sit well above or below them depending on size, age, lot, and location; recent sold comparables are the reliable guide.

That depends on current inventory and sales activity for your specific type of property in Richmond, which can differ from region-wide headlines. A look at recent sales and active listings for comparable homes is the best basis for timing a purchase or sale, and Manan can put that together for you.
