Renovation Costs Going Up! Vancouver Condos 2021

March 6th, 2021, Owen Bigland

I've been speaking with a number of builders and renovators recently, who have told me the cost of building and renovating has spiked up 15 to 20% in the past 12 months. Materials like wood, drywall, flooring, fixtures and appliances have all taken a spike up. A shortage of skilled trades is also to blame. In this video I also discuss strata restrictions on Lower Mainland condos. No rentals, no pets and age restrictions and their effect on prices and the time it takes to sell these homes.

Bad Ideas In Vancouver Real Estate 2021

March 2nd, 2021, Owen Bigland

I see some bad strategies in the comments section of my blog when it comes to Vancouver Real Estate. One of the worst is selling your principal residence after a year or two because you’ve made some quick gains on it. Then rent for a year or two and hope to buy back in at a better price. Some of the others are selling an investment unit with a fixed term tenancy as well as paying off the mortgage on an investment unit early when you have a low mortgage rate of sub 3%.

Investing vs Speculating for Retirement With Low Cost Brokerages

February 27th, 2021, Owen Bigland

It’s great to see small investors take control of their financial future with the rise of no fee or low fee brokerages like Robinhood. However it can also encourage investors to start speculating on the wrong kind of companies. Most day traders are simply trading in circles. Most will end up losing all or most of their money. The others will eke out a small return that equates to a few dollars an hour when you take into consideration all the time they are spending. Most investors would be far better off simply buying and holding the index via low cost ETF’s from providers like Vanguard and I-Shares.
