It remains a tale of two markets with condos and townhouses remaining in a balanced market overall. However, if you break it down further to the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom market priced under $900K it still favours sellers. The story moving forward is the lack of quality listings.

Another quick motivational blog on the value of simply buying quality assets like Vancouver Real Estate and large cap dividend paying equities and simply keeping and holding them for long periods of time. It’s such a simple concept, yet I see so many people continue to fail miserably at it. I also discuss the importance of a positive attitude and how life is like a mirror reflecting back the type of attitude you put out.
