“This survey is completely flawed simply because “In Richmond, foreign nationals made up 14 per cent of all buyers” is not true. 90% are foreign buyers in Richmond. Just go and check it. After it, nothing to discuss here.” – Vlad Vladidze

In Richmond for example, foreign nationals made up 14 per cent of all buyers, spending $61 million out of the $371 million worth of purchases. In Burnaby foreign nationals accounted for 11 per cent of all purchases.
