Preliminary government data on Vancouver home sales says less than five percent go to foreign nationals

While the study has shortcomings, its findings on the role of foreign nationals in B.C. real estate are in line with a number of previous estimates

The percentage of home sales that went to foreign nationals across all of Metro Vancouver was 5.1 percent. For B.C., it was three percent.

The data looked at 10,148 transactions. Of those, it found that 258, or 2.54 percent, went to Chinese citizens. Of foreign nationals, Americans came in second with 0.23 percent of purchases, and citizens of the United Kingdom came in third, with 0.10 percent.
