Kerry Gold has been a full-time professional journalist for the last 30 years, and for more than half that time she’s been covering the real estate and housing beat for the Globe and Mail.

She got her start at the Courier community newspaper and after a couple of years caught the attention of the Vancouver Sun editor-in-chief, who hired the young cub reporter to work in the paper’s entertainment section. During her tenure as the paper’s music critic—back in the days when newspapers had music critics and proper entertainment sections—she met a young struggling Michael Bublé and became the first journalist to write about the singer. She later penned his memoir for Random House UK, which launched her own side career as an author of several books for various businesspeople, including the Toigo family, who own White Spot.

She’s written for the Walrus, where she wrote a popular cover story on Vancouver’s growing reputation as a magnet for international wealth. She’s written for American publications Variety, L.A. Weekly, and for the Toronto Star, BC Business, Vancouver Magazine, Macleans, and for the Globe’s Property Report commercial real estate section, as well as many other publications.

As a columnist for the Globe, she’s covered everything from market cycles to lack of affordable housing to investment and speculation, short-term rentals, displacement of tenants, developer frustrations with municipal fees and ever-changing government policies, and fascinating data on B.C.’s housing situation.

In this episode, we discuss why she called Vancouver a “freak show” in 2017, what makes her lose sleep at night, the Broadway plan, why she started writing about foreign buying, how the market has changed, the ongoing supply debate, the problems with building rental, the challenge of having to work with a one-week lag time, the ugliness of social media, and how you should never read the comments section. We also get into an interesting discussion about media bias and agenda-driven journalism, and what it’s like being in the public eye.
