In this blog I discuss the unprecedented demand for 1 bedroom units in Downtown Vancouver and why they have driven prices up dramatically over the past 2 years.

In this blog I will walk you thru the questions I ask a potential buyers when they ask me if now is the best time to buy with prices being at record high levels. They have serious concerns weather they should wait until the market cools or corrects or just move forward and buy now.

Interesting article in the November issue of BC Business Magazine talking about Downtown Vancouver's booming Tech industry and how their high paid employees want to live and work in the downtown core.

Now most of my tenants and buying clients are young professionals with many being in the tech industry.

Just got back from my annual trip to New York City were I attended an investing summit by a well established Wall St private equity firm. One of the main takeaways from this year's summit was the power of keeping your eye on the big picture and how powerful simply buying & holding quality real estate and equities can be. We're living in an age of too much information and how paying too much attention to the short term volatility of the markets is causing investors to miss out on massive long term gains.

In this blog I’m going to address a recent report that claims Vancouver is building plenty of new condos and that we don’t have a supply problem in this city. I will also discuss why trying to curb demand via new taxes seldom works in the long term and in fact can make matters worse.
