One of the real pleasures about living in Greater Vancouver is how quick and easy it is to get out to nature. Yesterday was a perfect day. Blue Skies. Sunny and Warm. A great day to go for a drive with the family.
Now, leaving Vancouver there are only really three directions […]

One thing the rest of the world seems to have on us is the mixed or dual use property.  I’m talking about commercial fronts with residential above or behind.  You see these often in England and Europe where bakeries, cafes, pubs, retail, and the like have owner operators who live above and enjoy a commute […]

A new Kitsilano project is about to go on sale in the Granville Island area. VIP (Very Interested Parties, I assume because every VIP event I’ve been to neither gave me the impression that I was Important or a Person, but maybe this one will be different) Sales will start on February 16th (this […]

It’s not everyday that I have a client looking for waterfront property. It’s certainly not every day that one even becomes available. What is it about the water that draws people? I know I am drawn to it. But why? The views are spectacular, surely. The fresh air is […]

Maybe we are a lot more like New York, London, Paris, and Rome than we thought. Parker Brothers is running an online vote for their new Monopoly World Edition with you, the fine folks of the internet, getting all some say on who will be on the board. Right now we are ranked […]

Now this is just plain cool and makes too much sense. It’s one of those ideas that comes along and you smck yourself in the forehead with a “Why didn’t I think of that?”
We all have far too many cables and wires running through our homes. If you’ve moved into an older home […]

               
Selling a home is not like selling a common commodity.  One ounce of gold is equal to another.  One new Ford F150 fully loaded is equal to another.  One loaf of Wonderbread is equal to another.  This is not the case with homes.  You may argue that one new condo is very similar to […]

There is a key statistic that many of us pay attention to and one that any good realtor should be making you aware of.  That number is the Sales/Listings ratio.
In a really hot month in the past this number often approached or exceeded 100%.  This meant that the number of properties sold were almost equal […]
