Attached = Condos and such

Inventory/sold last 31 days and I did the MOI to save Makaya the trouble :)

Coquitlam = 532/72 = 7.4

Maple Ridge 278/25 = 11.2

N. Van 478/75 = 6.3 (2 X the SFH MOI)

Richmond 1226/130 = 9.4

Surrey 1485/152 = 9.7

New West 137/15 = 9.1

Burnaby 956/132 = 7.2

Nothing bullish in these numbers...

  1. BTW- the budget shows again how hopelessly addicted our governments are to short-term rushes, future be damned.

    the $10K first time buyers enticement (which i have to analyze properly) is going to get more young couples into housing at all time highs, with all time low interest rates and on the cusp of a slow down.

    When will these stupid politicians realize that the way to make housing more affordable is NOT to boost lending to most vulnerable with these gimmicks (and the whole CMHC circus). All that does is drive prices higher.

    If you want to do something, enact legislation that penalizes speculation. Heck you can even get CMHC insurance for investment property, how does that help increase home ownership?

    We are governed by fools and we deserve it!

    1. Come writers and critics
      Who prophesize with your pen
      And keep your eyes wide
      The chance won't come again
      And don't speak too soon
      For the wheel's still in spin
      And there's no tellin' who
      That it's namin'.
      For the loser now
      Will be later to win
      For the times they are a-changin'.

      Come senators, congressmen
      Please heed the call
      Don't stand in the doorway
      Don't block up the hall
      For he that gets hurt
      Will be he who has stalled
      There's a battle outside ragin'.
      It'll soon shake your windows
      And rattle your walls
      For the times they are a-changin'.

  3. Today, one of my goodfriend, University educated with a Master degree in Business, posted the following message: "I need a good mortgage person in Vancouver. Please recommend someone to me. Thx!"

    I took the time to provide a long response, but I already know it's pointless. I just can't believe it!

    1. Get your mortgage broker's license. If you have the stamina, become a part-time realtor too. And hold down your full-time day job. Seriously, I'm not joking.

    3. Yeah when I read this article I was like what the heck is going on? But then I realised, that there are even more signs of trends. If you check this Are Realtors Responsible for the Crisis? you will see that the realtors just start to defend themselves. This is so strange because they used to be so overconfident in the past three years. I don´t know but I feel the end of speculative housing market are almost done.

      Aaaah, even if you garner 2 licenses, you cannot solve my constipation. But he can.

  9. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?

    My site has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being stolen? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

  10. Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was
    wondering your situation; many of us have created some
    nice procedures and we are looking to swap strategies with others, why not shoot me an
    e-mail if interested.

  11. Hello just stumbled upon your website from Yahoo after I typed in, "Blogger: Vancouver RE and then some" or perhaps something similar
    (can't quite remember exactly). Anyways, I'm relieved I
    found it because your content is exactly what I'm searching for (writing a college paper) and I hope you don't mind
    if I collect some material from here and I will of course credit you
    as the source. Appreciate it.

  14. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
    I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.

    net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  16. Hey! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does building a well-established blog such as yours require a large amount of work?
    I am brand new to blogging but I do write
    in my journal every day. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

  17. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
    connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
    or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  19. Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to
    protect against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.

    Any recommendations?
