(This is a legal issue. Anyone dealing with a significant property defect should obtain advice from a qualified lawyer based on the particular circumstances.)

A "latent defect" is a defect that would NOT normally be discovered through a reasonable inspection of the property.

A patent defect is the opposite: it is a defect that is visible or should reasonably be discovered through inspection. As a general rule, buyers are responsible for investigating patent defects under the principle of caveat emptor, meaning “buyer beware.” This is an important distinction at Common Law. Buyers generally believe that there should not be defects in a house when they buy but there is always something. Buyers should be aware that most of the onus is on them and their REALTOR® to do their own inspections. However, a seller must not conceal a defect or make a false or misleading statement about the property.

The word "Material" means it is important or substantial.

In British Columbia, a Material Latent Defect (MLD) may include a hidden defect that:

* makes the property dangerous or potentially dangerous;
* makes it unfit for habitation;
* makes it unsuitable for the buyer’s known intended use;
* would involve great expense to repair;

Known material latent defects must be disclosed. A seller has disclosure obligations at common law, while a real estate licensee has a broader disclosure duty under the Real Estate Services Rules. If the licensee knows about a material latent defect, it must be disclosed to the other parties before they enter into an agreement. If the seller refuses to permit the required disclosure, the licensee must stop providing trading services in that transaction.

Proving a seller knew is an important part of a legal claim. It is extremely difficult to succeed in any legal action if you cannot prove the seller knew about the defect.

A repaired defect requires careful consideration. If the problem was fully and properly repaired, it may no longer constitute a current material latent defect and therefore does not have to be disclosed.

In British Columbia there is a form called a "Property Disclosure Form". This form covers Material Latent Defects. If you are buying pay close attention to this form and review it with your REALTOR®.

When choosing a REALTOR® it is important to make sure they are properly trained and educated on the Real Estate challenges like MLD's. Our REALTORS® are of the highest and best trained REALTORS® in the industry. I would be happy to recommend one in your area.

WE CAN HELP!

More than 5,000 people have been evacuated from their homes, including at least one of our own REALTORS®. While the full extent of the devastation is still being determined, hundreds of homes are believed to have been destroyed—many in the Bradley Creek wildfire near Okanagan Lake.

I reached out to a friend at The Salvation Army and asked how a company like ours could make the greatest impact. His answer was simple: the most meaningful way to help right now is through monetary donations.

I thought, “This is something we can do.”

I have created a GoFundMe and shared it with our REALTORS®, but I know there may also be people throughout our social media community who would like to help. The money raised will go to The Salvation Army to help provide food, clothing and essential household items to those affected.

I have started the fundraiser with a $200 donation. Times are tight for many people, but every contribution will make a difference. Please consider giving whatever you can—it truly does not matter how large or small the amount may be.

With ongoing economic uncertainty in Canada and abroad—including elevated borrowing costs, trade uncertainty, and continued affordability challenges—many real estate markets across British Columbia have experienced a slower pace. Buyers and sellers alike are taking a more cautious, "wait-and-see" approach as they look for greater certainty before making major financial decisions.

The June average selling prices for single-family homes across B.C. provide an interesting snapshot of where values currently stand, with each region continuing to respond differently to today's economic conditions.

All eyes now turn to the Bank of Canada, which is scheduled to make its next interest rate announcement tomorrow, Wednesday, July 15. While many economists expect the Bank to hold its policy rate steady, the accompanying commentary will be closely watched for insight into inflation, economic growth, and the potential direction of interest rates in the months ahead.

Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on the market, staying informed is one of the best ways to make confident real estate decisions.
