Blu’s News : June 2025
Fresh energy. Longer days. A shift in the air.
Summer’s officially here, and with it comes that unmistakable feeling… like good things about to happen.
After a sleepy spring full of uncertainty (and way too many rain delays and windy days), the real estate market is starting to thaw. We’re seeing more movement, more conversations, and more “hey, maybe we should go see that place” moments. There’s no stampede, that’s in Calgary, but the energy is picking up.
Maybe it’s the sunshine. Maybe it’s the early whispers of a rate cut. Maybe it’s just that classic Vancouver thing where everyone comes out of hibernation at once. Whatever it is, there’s momentum again.
Buyers have options. Sellers are sharpening their pencils. And while no one has a crystal ball, there’s a sense that this summer might bring opportunities for those ready to move and get their party on.
So whether you’re looking for a new view, a bigger backyard, or just a reason to take a few open houses for a spin, let’s talk. The season’s just getting started, and there’s something in the air.

Local Spotlight... On Us:
EC3 is now Coral
This month, we’re tooting our own horn with Coral, a bold new collection of eight 2 and 3-bedroom townhomes at 1550 + 1552 East 3rd Avenue that celebrate the colour, character, and creative energy of Commercial Drive. With striking architecture by MA+HG, interiors by award-winning Evoke International, and rooftop decks made for sunset hangs, Coral brings elevated design to the heart of East Van. And as you can see, our trusted partner, Westbury Construction Management, is hard at work bringing these homes to life (and to market) this fall.
Agent of the Month:
Mustafa Akhtar
Sending out a big dose of birthday love and major props to our very own Mustafa Akhtar! He turned another year cooler on June 20th, and somehow managed to squeeze in some celebrating between supporting the West End Community Softball League and knocking real estate deals out of the park. Be sure to check out the Deals & Dreams section above for his latest win – a sassy little Surrey pad for under $500K that has “home run” written all over it.

The Blu Cru Hits the Links
A few weeks back, some of the Blu Cru hit the links at Stanley Park Pitch & Putt for a little friendly competition (and plenty of lost balls). New nicknames were born, beers flowed, and the birds sang, but not as loud as the “all hail Mike” chants after he smoked us on the scorecard. Yes, our in-house designer and photographer (and the sneaky one far left) proved once again he’s not just a whiz behind the camera and computer. 18 holes, good laughs, and questionable swings – just another day at Blu.
