Why we do the Data Call

Each year, we collect industry real estate data to support our effective and proactive oversight of the real estate services industry. By gathering information about real estate services and brokerage activities, we can better understand the real estate market, track trends, make evidence-based decisions, and monitor the impact of policy and economic changes on real estate services. The data helps BCFSA to develop educational courses, inform potential regulatory changes, ensure high standards by real estate professionals, and strengthen public trust.

Key changes for 2026 

In addition to the data fields collected in previous years, the 2026 Data Call included new fields relating to brokerage commission to establish a baseline understanding of commission structures in B.C.

GVR Board members exemption

Brokerages (and managing brokers) that are members of the Greater Vancouver Realtors (GVR Board) were exempt from providing residential real estate transaction data for transactions involving property located within the geographical area served by the GVR Board. BCFSA obtained relevant transaction data directly from the GVR Board. Brokerages that are members of the GVR Board that list and sell properties outside of the GVR Board area were still required to submit real estate transaction data for those transactions.
