Avoid BC's Speculation and Vacancy Tax by buying on the Sunshine Coast.

Market Minute - January 2020

By buying a second home, a vacation home, or an investment property on the Sunshine Coast instead of in the Lower Mainland, you'll avoid BC's Speculation and Vacancy Tax and its foreign buyer's tax. Buying here as opposed to the City of Vancouver means escaping its Empty Homes Tax.
