How Experienced Investors Think! Chapter 6 - Along for the Ride In this blog I’m going to cover Chapter 6 of my new book "Along For The Ride".

It continues to be a strong Sellers Market for condos in Vancouver with the sales to active listings ratio well above 70%. Keep in mind anything over 20% is considered a sellers market.

I also discuss the recent 25 basis point interest rate hike and further mortgage tightening coming later this Fall.
