Record Lows to (near) Record Highs Underscore a Year of Insanity That’s the title I’d have given it.  We literally went from “The End is Nigh” to near daily reports of bubble fears in the mainstream media.  How is that even possible?  really.  Think about it.  Could we have had a more bipolar year in [...]

So the stats have been released, just like clockwork, and once again the beat of the uprising market drum continues.  Listings (supply) continue to fall while sales (demand) continues to rise resulting in increased prices.  No one can deny that this market defied all expectations from the beginning of the year and where we sit [...]

Another month has flown by and with it comes the monthly release of the stats. August 2009 was a killer month (and I mean that with a positive connotation, you know, like “bad” is good). Sales up more than double the brutal August 2008, listings down still about a third, and the resulting prices up [...]

Let me just get this off my chest: RECORD BREAKING MONTH! That’s right. In a month which saw listings continue to fall from the previous month and are down up to around 50% in some areas the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver saw historic highs on sales. And to think I took half the [...]

Hot! Hot! Hot! That’s what I and every realtor has been saying for the past few months and the market has hit a new high point this year in June. In fact, in terms of unit sales, June was the third highest sales month in the past 16 years. Keep in mind that all these [...]

And the rebound continues. Those who have followed my posts and actions on this site will see that everything I ahve said is not unique to me alone. Sales are up. Way UP! Inventory is down. Way down! And multiple offers are flyoing pretty fast and furious. Not to every property but tothose who are [...]

Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!  Spring has sprung and life in the market is good.  Forget that sales are down from last year.  They’d be up, I’d wager, if listings weren’t down so much more.  Prices, therefore, have stabilised and are trending upward again. But make no mistake.  We’re in a finely balanced market right now.  [...]

Here they are… drum roll please! Not as bad as some expected.  That’s the news.  We were in the absolute pit of market despair just a few short months ago and now, ad has been anecdotal for some time we have hard proof that the market is better today than just a few months ago.  [...]

Well the latest stats are out an the big news is that the slide is no longer continuing month to month. In fact, if it were possible to include the estimated sales from the last two “fire sales” by Onni (282 last reported though not confirmed) and H+H (40ish, again not confirmed) and we get [...]
