The numbers don’t lie. In the past several months we have had a number of reports that have pegged the number of Foreign buyers in Vancouver at around 5 to 6% . The Vancouver Real Estate board added a citizenship declaration to all purchase and sale contracts over a year ago so these numbers are being tracked closely. The vast majority of the Chinese buyers in Vancouver either have their full Canadian citizenship or their PRS. Now that the NDP has increased the FBT to 20 % I’m going to predict that the next set of numbers will be under 3%.

We're now into our most active time of the year for Real Estate sales in Vancouver. If you're thinking about selling your home this Spring or Summer, I want to remind you about how critical it is to select your Realtor wisely. Do your homework, interview at least 2 for the job and above all else make sure you hire an experienced listing and marketing pro. Especially in this current market where condos are selling over asking price and receiving multiple offers. <p>I also want to tell sellers for about the 5th time in the past 4 years to stop the madness! DO NOT sell your condo with your tenant still living in the unit. There are many ways we can legally and easily have your tenancy terminated before you sell and net you a much higher ...
