Rents On Vancouver Condos Are Going Up

June 26th, 2015, Owen Bigland

If you’re in the market to rent a condo in Vancouver or Richmond get ready for some sticker shock and heavy competition.  Rents have been going up at a fairly brisk pace over the past 18 months and the competition for the good units is heating up. There are a number of reasons for the increase, the biggest one is simply supply is low and demand to live in Vancouver is high. I’m also hearing a ...

A Home as Shelter First.. Investment Second

June 21st, 2015, Owen Bigland

Many first time buyers tend to focus on the short term when buying their first principal residence.  They will ask questions like, “What will this home be worth a year from now?” or “How much can I sell this unit for in a few years?”.

Depreciation Report = Buying Opportunity

June 12th, 2015, Owen Bigland

Time for another video in my Buying Opportunities series. This time I’m going to focus on Strata’s that get a Depreciation report done and that calls for lot’s of remedial work that needs to be done.  When this happens prices usually end up going down while the Strata decides on what needs to be done and when it needs to be done.
