Vancouver Condo Market Heats Up!

February 23rd, 2021, Owen Bigland

Starting to see the Vancouver condo market get stronger by each passing week. We are now in a strong Sellers Market with the active sales to listing ratio well over 30 (over 20 is a sellers market). Inventory is at or near record lows and far more buyers than sellers, thus most quality homes are getting into multiple offers and selling above asking price. I see this market continuing to stay strong thru the Summer with prices continuing to rise in the coming months.

The Psychology of Money

February 20th, 2021, Owen Bigland

Just finished reading a fantastic new book entitled "The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel. I highly recommend that my viewers read this book. It’s a simple easy to understand book on the best way for people to achieve financial success and that’s to simply buy and hold quality assets and avoid the temptation to try and time markets and become a trader.

I Sell Everything! Vancouver Real Estate 2021

February 16th, 2021, Owen Bigland

Realtors represent both buyers and sellers. Most of my business in on the listing and marketing side of the sale. However, I do work with plenty of buyers each year. On the buying side I’m generally going after high quality homes and condos. Viewers often ask me that being a listing specialist I must list and sell challenging or hard to sell homes and everything I sell can’t be the best. Yes they are right.. I sell everything including homes that are less than perfect or hard to sell. It’s what makes my job interesting. Keep in mind there really is not a perfect home. Even a $4 million condo will have a few features the buyer wished were different. Same thing with less than desirable homes - there are always positives that can be acc ...

Multiple Offers Are Back! Vancouver Real Estate 2021

February 13th, 2021, Owen Bigland

As expected the strata market in Vancouver including downtown condos has heated up and is now in a strong sellers' market. Of the 3 listings and sales I had last week all 3 went into multiple offers and sold over asking price. 2 of the sales were with subject free offers. Limited inventory and far more buyers than seller, are pushing prices up on a month over month basis. Most of my high quality 1 bedroom sales are now setting new record high selling prices. I see this continuing well into the Spring and Summer 2021.

STOP (Selling Tenant Occupied Properties) | Vancouver Real Estate

February 9th, 2021, Owen Bigland

Time for my annual video on the biggest mistake I continue to see sellers make and that’s selling a home with a tenant living in it. Most seem to be unaware of the $10’s of $Thousands that they are leaving on the table in their final selling price, or the legal risks they are taking. I also talk about the potential reduction in quality rental units available in Vancouver and how this is going to cause rental rates to keep climbing.

The Best Investors are Dead! Vancouver Real Estate & Stocks 2021

February 6th, 2021, Owen Bigland

A few years ago, I read about a study conducted by Fidelity on its client brokerage accounts. The study tried to identify the best performing investors at the brokerage, by reviewing account returns. They came to a stark discovery – the best investors were either dead or had forgotten to log on to their accounts for a long period of time. It really pounds home the power of buying quality assets, whether that be equities or high quality Vancouver Real estate, and then just sit on your hands and leave it to compound and grow. In this blog I also talk about the high friction costs of buying Real Estate and how they kill your returns if you're actively buying and selling.
