The governments put the total near $1.5 billion, only about $300 million of it in public funds, the rest financed through debt. The Vancouver brokerage Goodman Commercial reads the bill higher, pricing 2,200 units at roughly $1.1 million each, or $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion. Presale sales across British Columbia fell from nearly 6,000 units in the first quarter of 2021 to 124 in the first quarter of 2026. If a family-sized home in British Columbia costs too much, government policies have driven much of that price. To further accelerate homebuilding in British Columbia, the Government of Canada has introduced legislation that would provide a one-time transfer of $284 million to British Columbia to reduce barriers to new construction.
