Burnaby is the third largest city in British Columbia, and it really behaves like four markets in one. Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, and Edmonds have each grown into dense, transit-oriented town centres, so a large share of what sells here is presale and newly built condos within walking distance of SkyTrain. Around them, neighbourhoods like Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, and the streets near Deer Lake still hold older single-family homes on larger lots, many with secondary suites.
That mix matters for financing. Prices in Burnaby generally sit below the City of Vancouver while offering similar transit access, which is why so many first-time buyers, investors, and growing families look here first. A Metrotown presale, a Capitol Hill house with a rental suite, and a Lougheed townhouse each call for a different lender and a different plan, and getting that match right is the part I handle for you.
Burnaby’s market moves fast, from presale towers around Brentwood and Metrotown to established homes near Deer Lake and Capitol Hill. A broker gives you more than one bank’s rate. You get options from many lenders, flexibility, and advice shaped around your goals.

I help buyers and owners right across Burnaby’s four town centres and the neighbourhoods in between:
Also serving nearby communities: New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Vancouver, and the rest of the Lower Mainland.
For an owner-occupied home under $1 million, the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above that, so a condo priced around the Metrotown or Brentwood average usually lands in that range. If you are buying purely as a rental, plan on at least 20% down. I will run your exact numbers before you start shopping.
Often, yes. Many older homes in Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights have a legal secondary suite, and lenders can use a portion of that rent to increase what you qualify for. The suite needs to be legal and documented, and each lender treats suite income a little differently, so I match your file to the one that counts it most favourably.
Presales work differently from a resale purchase. You put down deposits during construction and arrange the mortgage closer to completion, which can be a year or more away. Because rates and your situation can change in that window, a completion-stage plan and a rate strategy matter. I can walk you through deposit structure, financing timelines, and what lenders look for on a new build.
Usually, yes. Burnaby generally prices below the City of Vancouver while keeping strong SkyTrain access, which is a big reason buyers cross the boundary. What your budget actually buys still varies between Metrotown, Lougheed, and South Burnaby, so I will map your price range against the town centres that fit your plans.
Whether you’re planning your next move or just have questions, I’m here to help you make informed, confident mortgage decisions.
