🚇【TransLink交通票价7月起全线上调｜平均涨幅4%！】

大温通勤族注意！搭公交、坐天车要多掏钱啦💸

✅这是自疫情以来最大幅度的涨价！

从2020年起，票价每年最多只能涨2.3%。但这次，TransLink 直接来了个“四连跳”，把今年的票价上限拉到了4%。

🔢具体涨多少？举几个例子你就懂了👇

🔹现金票：

成人1区：从$3.20 ➡️ $3.35

2区：$4.65 ➡️ $4.85

3区：$6.35 ➡️ $6.60

（相当于每次搭车贵出一杯Tim Hortons中杯咖啡☕）

🔹优惠票（青少年 & 长者）：

1区：$2.15 ➡️ $2.25

3区：$4.35 ➡️ $4.50

🔹Compass卡票价：

成人单区从$2.60涨到$2.70，三区更是涨到$5.10！

🔹月票涨幅也不小：

成人单区月票从$107.30涨到$111.60

三区月票涨至$201.55！

📌小贴士：还在用现金买票？现在真的该考虑办张Compass卡了，至少每次便宜60分以上！

.

🚗【ICBC车牌将“焕新颜”！字母“U、Y、Z”正式上岗】

除了票价涨价，大温司机们也会发现另一个变化！

👀ICBC 正在悄悄“上线”全新车牌字符组合：

📍“U”、“Y”、“Z”这些之前从没在车牌上出现过的字母，即将加入BC省车牌大军！

🔎但“I”、“O”、“Q”还是继续“禁用”，因为它们太像数字和其他字母，容易出错。

📅实施时间？就是这几周内！

从Porteau Cove批次开始逐步上线，大家不妨多观察，看看谁先遇到这个“新面孔”。

📦ICBC表示，这项变更是为了保证未来几十年内，仍有足够的车牌号码可用

✨好消息是：设计、材质、反光效果都不会变，大家的旧车牌也不需要强制更换

📉加拿大央行踩了刹车，利率或将长期停留在高位！

📈而温哥华的房价，却被官方实锤将继续涨！

.

💣最新重磅信息炸裂：

✔️ 加拿大央行自6月起连续降息7次，利率从5%降到目前的2.75%

✔️ 但！RBC、Scotiabank、牛津经济研究院齐发声：“降息到头了！”

✔️ Scotiabank经济学家直言：“现在连考虑降息都不该想！”

🔒央行官方也明确表示：当前利率已处于“中性区间中段”——意味着：

→ 对经济既不刺激也不抑制

→ 大概率不再继续降，甚至可能再次上调！

.

🌆但真正炸裂的是：温哥华未来10年的房价预测曝光！

根据CMHC最新报告（2025年6月发布）：

▶️ 即便建房加速、政策介入，温哥华房价也要涨至

💥$190万+！涨幅达27%！💥

▶️ 租金方面也不乐观：

平均租金将从$1700/月 ➡️ 暴涨至$2300+/月

📉 也就是说：现在不上车，以后很可能连月供都供不起！

.

😰还在幻想房价暴跌？现实是这样的：

❌ 建房速度太慢，年缺口20万套以上

❌ 大温地区建筑成本+土地成本高得离谱

❌ 移民人数创新高，新房远远不够分

❌ 房东不愿降价挂牌，二手市场供给失衡

❌ 即使房贷利率不降，房价依然在涨！

.

📊来看几个扎心的数据：

🏙️ 温哥华2024年平均房价：约$150万

🏠 2035年预测均价：超过$190万（+27%）

💰 房价收入比高达99%，每赚1块钱几乎都要还房贷

💥 这是“全球最难买房城市”之一，不是说说而已！

.

🔍所以，如果你还在等这些信号：

“再降两次我就买…”

“等房价跌一点再说…”

“现在利率高，先看看吧…”

那你真的可能会被市场彻底甩在后面

.

🎯结论是——温哥华房市并未冷却，而是蓄势待发！

📌现在可能是未来10年最容易上车的窗口期

📌利率下调空间不大，房价上涨压力却越来越大

📌刚需与投资者将再次涌入市场，机会留给准备好的人

.

📍建议关注温哥华以下区域：

✅ Metrotown & Brentwood：核心地段+地铁沿线+学区房

✅ Marine Gateway & Oakridge：未来发展潜力大

✅ 东区独立屋/老房翻建项目：自住+升值两不误

✅ New West / Surrey中心区：高性价比新盘集中区

温哥华这座“世界最宜居城市”，既有蓝天白云，也有不断上涨的房价。随着越来越多高净值人群和新移民涌入，大温买房变得越来越卷——如何选到一套适合自己的好房？

别急，今天就带你一次性看懂2025年大温购房的10大核心要素👇

✅1. 治安

虽然大温整体治安不错，但温东、素里、新西敏仍是“雷区”，选房前不妨查查官方罪案地图🕵️‍♂️

.

✅2. 生活便利度

Richmond稳居“华人首选”，超市、中餐馆扎堆，日常不用讲英语也能轻松生活。

如果你选择海景区如西温，要有心理准备开一小时车吃顿热干面🍜

.

✅3. 交通

天车附近房子升值潜力大，但也别忘了噪音和人流压力⚠️

✅有车族：选内街最好

✅无车族/上班族：靠近天车站、主公交线更方便

.

✅4. 房屋状况

新不代表没人住过，而是建造年限短、设施新！

💡买老房前，千万不要跳过“验屋”环节，否则住进去发现漏水发霉，可就晚了……

.

✅5. 社区环境

一条街的颜值也很重要！

选社区时看这些：有没有高压电线？有没有杂草丛生的烂房？安静不喧闹？有无公园绿地？

.

✅6. 地势&景观

想看海？西温北温

想要地势平整？列治文

📸好地势+好景观，永远是房产保值的底牌！

.

✅7. 邻居

不同社区有不同“主力文化圈”：

Richmond：华人密集

Coquitlam：韩裔聚集

Surrey：印度裔为主

西温/温西：传统高收入白人区

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦选邻居，也是在为孩子选成长环境

.

✅8. 朝向&风水

在温哥华这种多雨+高纬度地区，朝南能带来更好的采光和温暖🌞

华人购房也常讲究风水，避免路冲、缺角、不规则地形！

.

✅9. 房价

2025年市场行情起伏不定，利率政策也还在变化。

💰理性看待价格涨跌，更要量力而行+长期打算

📍西温/温西/列治文仍是独立屋“天花板”区域

.

✅10. 学区

不是所有“好学校”都适合你的孩子！

🔍别只看 Fraser Institute 排名，更要看招生情况、区域划分有没有变动。

⚠️买在学区边缘线，可能会“买对了房，读不了书”
