Sea-to-Sky

Mortgage broker for Squamish.

Squamish has gone from sleepy mill town to one of BC's hottest mortgage markets — Vancouver commuter detached, Garibaldi Highlands family stock, and a steady second-home flow from the Lower Mainland.

The Squamish market

Squamish pricing has compressed against North Vancouver while inventory keeps turning over. Most files involve dual-income Vancouver commuters or remote workers, plus a meaningful slice of second-home buyers using equity from a Metro Van primary. Construction draws on new infill and small multi-family are common, and so are short-term rental income files that need the right lender.

Files we close in Squamish

  • Vancouver commuter and remote-worker primary purchases
  • Second-home and recreational purchases bridged off Metro Van equity
  • Construction draws for Garibaldi Highlands and University Highlands builds
  • Short-term-rental income files (Airbnb / VRBO) needing flexible lenders

Squamish mortgage FAQ

Can you finance Squamish new builds in Garibaldi Estates or University Highlands?+

Yes. Squamish has multiple ongoing detached and townhouse projects. We arrange new-build mortgages with rate holds out to 12 months and structure for completion delays that have been common in the corridor.

Do you mortgage acreage and recreational property around Squamish?+

Regularly. Upper Squamish Valley, Brackendale acreage and Paradise Valley properties are routinely declined by big banks for acreage size or rural servicing. We use lenders comfortable with well/septic and outbuildings.

What about self-employed trades and tourism operators in Squamish?+

Squamish has a high concentration of self-employed and seasonal income. Bank-statement and stated-income programs let you qualify on real cash flow instead of low-taxable-income T1s.
