So many people these days are living in fear. Fear that the Vancouver RE market is in a bubble, fear that the stock market is going to crash, fear of a recession or depression. They are permanently frozen on the sidelines pointing the finger and blaming everyone but themselves for their lack of success. If you want any success in life you need to do 2 keys things: 1. Focus on what you have control over in your life and ignore what you don’t. 2. Turn optimistic and have a postive outlook on life & avoid negative pessimistic complainers at all costs

Most good quality homes in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland are in multiple offer situations these days. In this blog I will explain how the multiple offer process works and some strategies to help improve your chances.

Without a plan or roadmap you're like a ship out at sea without a rudder... drifting around in all the directions the wind blows. Whether it’s buying your first home or investing for retirement, you have to have a plan and strategy. I recommend a simple buy and hold strategy myself. Then the critical step is to stay the course because there will be plenty of good and bad years along the way. Successful investors don’t change course or strategy when they are having a bad year.

The Vancouver market remains very strong with prices up, sales up and inventory near historic lows. Not surprising were starting to see cries for the Government to step in and cool this market once again. Over the past 5 years the Government at all levels has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at the market in an effort to try and cool it by focusing on the demand side. Endless mortgage tightening, Stress Test, Foreign Buyers Tax, Vancouver Empty Homes Tax, BC Speculation Tax, Restrictions and Rental Rate Caps, Property Tax Increases. In the past they have pointed the finger at Foreign Buyers, Money Launders and Speculators as the cause. Today the buyers are all locals. Maybe it’s time we started working the supply side more ins ...

Been awhile since I posted a video tour of one of my listings. This is an exterior video of a home I just listed in the highly desirable Cedar Cottage area of Mt Pleasant. The special thing about this home is that it’s zoned RT-5. This allows for a legal duplex as well as an infill Stratified Coach house. This Coach house should not be confused with a laneway home. A Coach house will have a separate title and can be sold. Stay tuned for a video on these new stratified Coach houses coming soon. THIS HOME HAS NOW SOLD WITH MULTIPLE OFFERS - WELL OVER ASKING PRICE Offered at $1,699,000

As the condo market continues to heat up I’m hearing cries for the Government to step in and do something to cool the market. Right now condo prices are just starting to approach the prices they were at in late 2017. The Government has already thrown everything but the kitchen sink in the form of taxes and restriction to try and curb demand yet prices continue to climb. Maybe we should start working the supply side a bit more. Get rid of the red tape and exorbitant fees and restrictions the City of Vancouver puts on Developers. It’s worth a try because trying to curb demand in a city as desirable as Vancouver is just not working!
