Now that you are in the market for a condo or townhome, it is important to understand strata fees and the homeowner benefits.

In August 2016, the Province of British Columbia introduced a 15 per cent foreign buyers tax as a way to cool demand for Metro Vancouver real estate.

Are you one of the millions who have right-sized in recent years?

The first quarter of 2016 was a banner year for Metro Vancouver’s real estate market. Following the record highs of this past Spring, the market has been moving towards more normal activity. It is great to see a return to a healthier housing market for homebuyers. 

In today’s active real estate market, you may be required to make a decision on buying your dream home sooner than what you’re comfortable with as another family could be looking to make an offer on the same home.

After a prolonged and unsustainable price escalation, the market hit its peak last March, before declining and then levelling off by the new year.

A new home purchase is an exciting time in your life. While your property management firm alongside strata council will have an annual maintenance plan for the building and common areas, you’re responsible for your home’s interior.

In 2017 new developments will showcase exciting architectural and design elements for the home. We are getting inspiration from some of Greater Vancouver’s designer display suites.

One of the early decisions you will have to make when you begin your home search is whether you will buy a previously owned home (resale) or a new home. When it comes to new homes, the other option to consider is buying a home before construction has even began — also know as buying “presale”.

We meet families all the time in our presentation centres looking for the perfect home to meet their specific needs.
