The Competition Bureau says it has obtained a court order to expand its ongoing investigation into potential anti-competitive conduct in Canada’s real estate sector to include Greater Vancouver Realtors.

The bureau initially launched the probe in 2024, focusing on whether the Canadian Real Estate Association’s rules discourage realtors from offering lower commission rates or affect competition in other ways.
