Every claim, every source, every date.
You don’t have to take my word for any of it. This page lists every legal, tax, regulatory, and transaction fact in the BC Real Estate Codex with the source it comes from, the date I last checked it against that source, and when it is next due.
Each update also publishes a fingerprint of the whole set, so anyone can confirm what they read is what I published. The steps are on the methodology page.
- Every fact has an expiry date, set by how often that rule changes: a rent cap that resets each year expires soon after the new one is announced; a statute that rarely moves is given longer.
- An expired fact stops the site from updating. Nothing new goes live until the fact is checked again against the source it cites.
- Free to reuse: all Codex content is published under CC BY 4.0. Cite it in your own work.
- Corrections: spot a discrepancy? Email bronson@bronsonjob.com with the fact’s name. Every accepted correction is listed on the corrections page.

Listing search limits
Search results are capped under GVR Rules of Cooperation §9.19 and the VOW Agreement Schedule B §2.9. Two tiers apply:
- Anyone, without signing in: up to 1,500 listings per search, 50 per page.
- Registered users: up to 500 listings per search, 50 per page.
The limits are applied on our servers, not only in the page, so they hold however the site is used. Full Registrant Terms of Use →
MLS® number and brokerage on every listing
Every listing shown on this site carries its MLS® number and the listing brokerage. GVR VOW Agreement §5.2 / Schedule B §5a requires the brokerage line; a 2026-05-23 audit confirmed the MLS® number accompanies it on map pop-ups, search cards and similar-sold tiles.
If a listing arrives without its brokerage, the card says “Listing brokerage unavailable” rather than showing mine in its place.
List date and days on market
The exact list date and days-on-market count are for registered users only. Everyone else sees a freshness label instead:
- NEW: listed within the last 48 hours.
- NEWLY LISTED: listed within the last 7 days.
- Older listings carry no label.
The exact fields are removed on our servers before a page is sent to anyone who has not signed in and accepted the terms. Last reviewed 23 May 2026.
How we measure traffic
We measure traffic ourselves, in this site’s own database (Supabase, hosted in Montreal, Canada). For each page view we record the page, the site that linked you here, your browser type and a random identifier that lasts only as long as the browser tab; if you are signed in, the view is linked to your account. We do not record your IP address. No cookies, no third-party analytics and no advertising trackers.
We also count a few anonymous events, such as form submits, phone taps, saved searches, account sign-ups and calculator use, to see which pages are useful. Your browser keeps a count of your visits and the date of your last one, and only a rough range (such as “2 to 3 visits”) is ever sent. We never put your name, email, phone, address or postal code into these records.
