Stop Complaining & Turn Positive

April 10th, 2021, Owen Bigland

So many people these days are living in fear. Fear that the Vancouver RE market is in a bubble, fear that the stock market is going to crash, fear of a recession or depression. They are permanently frozen on the sidelines pointing the finger and blaming everyone but themselves for their lack of success.

If you want any success in life you need to do 2 keys things:

1. Focus on what you hav ...

No Plan = No Hope!

April 3rd, 2021, Owen Bigland

Without a plan or roadmap you're like a ship out at sea without a rudder... drifting around in all the directions the wind blows. Whether it’s buying your first home or investing for retirement, you have to have a plan and strategy. I recommend a simple buy and hold strategy myself. Then the critical step is to stay the course because there will be plenty of good and bad years along the way ...

Government Not Helping This Hot Market!

March 30th, 2021, Owen Bigland

The Vancouver market remains very strong with prices up, sales up and inventory near historic lows. Not surprising were starting to see cries for the Government to step in and cool this market once again. Over the past 5 years the Government at all levels has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at the market in an effort to try and cool it by focusing on the demand side.

Endless mortgag ...

TOUR: 1021 E 14TH AVE | MT PLEASANT | VANCOUVER, BC | RT-5 ZONED

March 27th, 2021, Owen Bigland

Been awhile since I posted a video tour of one of my listings. This is an exterior video of a home I just listed in the highly desirable Cedar Cottage area of Mt Pleasant. The special thing about this home is that it’s zoned RT-5. This allows for a legal duplex as well as an infill Stratified Coach house. This Coach house should not be confused with a laneway home. A Coach house will have a ...

Curbing Demand.....Not Working!

March 23rd, 2021, Owen Bigland

As the condo market continues to heat up I’m hearing cries for the Government to step in and do something to cool the market. Right now condo prices are just starting to approach the prices they were at in late 2017. The Government has already thrown everything but the kitchen sink in the form of taxes and restriction to try and curb demand yet prices continue to climb. Maybe we should star ...

Long Term Appreciation On Vancouver Condos

March 20th, 2021, Owen Bigland

I have often used a rule of thumb that if you buy a home today you can expect the value of that home to double every 20 years. I’m actually using quite a conservative rate of return here compared to what Vancouver homes have appreciated over the past 3 or 4 decades. I also compare how the slow and steady return of Vancouver Real Estate pales in comparison to what many high quality stocks ha ...
