Squamish sits at the intersection of everything British Columbians love about outdoor living — towering granite cliffs that draw rock climbers from around the globe, mountain biking trails that wind through old-growth forests, and the Stawamus Chief standing guard over the Howe Sound like a natural fortress. This isn’t just weekend warrior territory; it’s where people relocate when they decide their commute should include mountain views instead of traffic jams.

The numbers tell a compelling story. With 22% population growth since 2016 and a median household income of $111,000, Squamish has evolved from a logging town into something far more sophisticated. The economy runs on professional services, construction, and tourism — a diversified base that’s proven resilient when single-industry towns struggle. Nearly 73% of residents hold post-secondary education, and 41% have bachelor’s degrees or higher, creating a community that values both outdoor adventure and intellectual pursuits.

The Sea-to-Sky Highway connects Squamish to Vancouver in under an hour, making it the sweet spot for professionals who want city careers without city living. The climate has warmed by half a hardiness zone over recent decades, extending growing seasons and making year-round outdoor activities even more appealing. Property types range from single-detached homes (40.6%) to apartments and townhomes, accommodating everyone from young families to retirees seeking mountain tranquility.

Tekamar’s current maximum LTV in Squamish is 0% — we don’t lend here. The proximity to Vancouver’s inflated real estate market creates pricing dynamics that fall outside our conservative lending parameters. For brokers with clients in Squamish, we’d suggest exploring our opportunities in communities where our equity-focused approach aligns better with local market conditions.
