by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Tuesday, April 3, 2012 Vancouver Economy Predicted to Slow - Vancouver Real Estate One of the main indicators of how the Vancouver Real Estate market is set to fare is by looking at the macroeconomic growth of the Vancouver Economy. According to the Conference Board of Canada, the think tank that predicts local GDP there will be an increase in GDP for Vancouver of 2.5%. This shows an negative economic growth of 0.6% from last year 2011, and a full point below the 2010 figures which was driven by Olympic and federal stimulus spending. The board says that local businesses lost some steam last year towards the end of the year putting the local economy on a weaker footing going into 2012. It adds that consumer spending sputtered in 2011 with retail sales growth reaching a lackluster 1.8%.

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Friday, February 17, 2012 Vancouver Commercial Real Estate the most expensive in Canada
Though rents in Vancouver's central business district only increased modestly over the previous year, they remain the highest in the country, by far, at an average of $33.87 CAD/square foot/per year. Hendrik Zessel, Senior Managing Director, C&W Vancouver says that the high rents in Vancouver are the result of demand that simply outpaces supply. "The downtown market is very tight right now," says Zessel. "With no new buildings coming to market until at least 2014, that isn't expected to change any time soon. The lack of available space is largely due to continued global economic uncertainty that stemmed from the 2008 recession, which had developers being very cautious. There have been some recent new development announcements, which will help to address demand in the next few years, but until then we expect our office market will remain the most competitive, and therefore most expensive in the country."

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Wednesday, February 15, 2012 Vancouver now the most expensive city in North America - Vancouver real estate news
Vancouver residents have been complaining for a while that their city is expensive and Vancouver real estate is unaffordable. Now it is official, Vancouver real estate is the most expensive city in North America. Vancouver real estate has now nudged glamourous New York and pricey Los Angeles to claim the top spot for the continent the Economist Magazine reports. Many Vancouver residents are now going to New York City to save money! Last year Vancouver real estate was the 72nd most expensive in the world and now it has moved up to 37th most expensive city in the world. The average Vancouver house for sale rose 17 percent to $1.02 million in the third quarter compared to the same time last year. The price of a Vancouver condo has gone up by 5.3 per cent to $513,500. The average home in Vancouver real estate is now 11.2 times the average family income a figure that many economists say is unsustainable. The cheapest city in the world is Karachi in Pakistan and the most expensive is Zurich and Tokyo.
Vancouver real estate may be the most expensive city in North America but I have many Vancouver houses for sale for under a million dollars in Vancouver real estate. Call me on 604.437.4277 Vancouver Real Estate News

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Saturday, February 11, 2012 Vancouver Real Estate and how Population Growth has an Impact
The figures from the Cencus have shown that Surrey, Burnaby and Port Moody population have grown whereas the popultation in Vancouver has languished. Surrey's population has ballooned by 18.6% more than four times Vancouver's 4.4% rate of increase. How does this affect Vancouver Real Estate? Because of density of populations in Vancouver real estate, the geographical lack of room to expand housing means that Vancouver drives people out and real estate prices up. Burnaby's population has expanded by 10.1% with the highest growth of all the above areas. Surrey, Burnaby and Port Moody all have space for building houses whereas Vancouver real estate does not. Development in Vancouver tends to be in the shape of small apartments rather than the larger houses that are built in Surrey. According to Christy Clark, the Premier of BC, ' The population in BC is growing because we are one of the soundest economies in Canada.' Growth has been mainly caused by immigration the census showed. Vancouver Real Estate News

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Friday, February 3, 2012 BC still a buyers' market - Vancouver Houses for Sale Report![]() Sellers:
• Take Advantage of the Buyers' Market Falling interest rates, available financing and a wide inventory of homes make for the ideal buyers' market. But what does that mean for the seller? A buyers' market can be good news for the seller too, if he or she knows how to respond to the competition for buyers. Most sellers will discover that with careful planning and attention to details, they will find themselves in as attractive a position as the buyer. • Sellers wanting to attract serious buyers must begin by pricing their home in the right ball park. An overpriced house will discourage buyers from even looking at your home. And if they don't look, there's no opportunity to even discuss negotiating the price. _______________________________________ FAIR MARKET PRICE To determine a fair market price, meet with a real estate professional. A REALTOR can show you listings of comparable houses in the area that have sold in recent months. This will help you define a price range from which you can determine an initial asking price (probably high in the range) and a bottom line price (the least amount you're willing to accept). Remember, however, that the lower the house is priced, the more traffic you'll have to contend with. In a buyers' market, you will need to weigh the pros and cons of a higher price against more potential buyers. A REALTOR can assist you in reaching a conclusion that works best for you. ________________________________________ SPRUCE-UP BEFORE SELLING • Once you have decided on a listing price, make your house attractive to prospective buyers. A few cosmetic touch-ups, such as interior painting, can go a long way towards attracting buyers. Plant flowers in the front yard, clean out closets and fix those little things you've been meaning to do all year. • Have a REALTOR walk through your home with you to suggest changes and improvements. A stranger's eye is going to notice things that you're likely to overlook. Focus on the kitchen and bathrooms -- these are important to most buyers. • Once the house is listed, make an effort to keep it clean and tidy at all times. Buyers expect, and generally enjoy, decorating a home to their taste, But buyers don't want to have to do heavy cleaning. • Make the house readily available to potential buyers. Some REALTORS recommend putting an electronic keybox on the front door which allows them to enter when you're not at home. Most sellers find it impossible to restrict their lifestyle to ensure that someone is always available to let the REALTOR in to show a home. Also, most potential buyers are more comfortable viewing a home when the vendors are not present. • Once offers start rolling in, the negotiations start. It's critical that you have a real estate professional assisting you at this stage. After all, only a REALTOR is qualified to handle the most important financial transaction of your life.

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Sunday, January 29, 2012 Vancouver Mortgages now the lowest in history! - Homes for Sale in Vancouver The lowest interest rates in Canadian history could stimulate a buying spree in the housing sales of Vancouver homes. MBO announced late Thursday that it had dropped its 5 year fixed rate mortgage by 0.5% to 2.99%. The mortgage rate is only available until January 25th and comes with conditions, including a 25 year amortization period. Borrowers can only make lump sum payments up to 10% of the prinicpal each year. Restrictions like this are being set to monitor responsible lending by the banks and mortgage providors. It may be a cheaper loan but it is harder to qualify for now. The restrictions would make it impossible for those few people who could receive a loan at the record-low interest rate and rapidly pay it off in two or three years. In reality very few homeowners can afford to pay the loan off in three years anyway. The record-low mortgage rate could be enough to entice new home buyers to enter the market. It will also benefit home owners looking to refinance their existing mortgage.If you are thinking about buying a Vancouver home for sale go with a real estate expert, Russell Sharp.

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Saturday, January 28, 2012 Vancouver Condos now require a 'depreciation report'
Although the legislation requires that a depreciation report be completed, unlike other provinces, the legislation does not require that the funding requirements identified in the report be implemented. Therefore the strata remains in charge of what the reserve fund contributions will be. The strata may also defer a depreciation report by passing a resolution with a three-quarters majority vote to that effect. However, the resolution to exempt the strata from preparing a depreciation report has an 18-month time limit, so the resolution must be re-passed by three-quarters vote on a periodic basis in order to continue to defer the report. The legislation also requires that a depreciation report be completed every three years. The main purpose and benefit of the depreciation study is to provide a long-range common property maintenance and renewals plan which, if followed, will maintain the value of the property. Ideally, owners will be prepared for anticipated future common property component and system deterioration though proactive planning instead of reactive response. It is generally assumed in the facility management industry that reactive repairs costs two to five times more as the same job would cost in a planned and scheduled environment.

Vancouver needs “more housing created in the low-to middle-income range,” Robertson said. Gregor Roberston has appointed a task force on housing affordability, which includes social housing for the homeless, and he said he expects an initial report this spring. The experts will look at solutions based on zoning, density and different ownership models that work elsewhere, he said. Whilst it is not the place of the city to become a developer or interfere with the mechanisms of the free market, Mayor Gregor Robertson said there is “a limited ability to affect the market.” But he said the city does have some tools and incentives to encourage higher density and mixed-income developments.

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Wednesday, January 4, 2012 December 2011 Vancouver Real Estate For Sale report
Is this drop in sales serious for Vancouver real estate. Well, overall last year showed a 'balanced' market where the number of listings and buyers equalled itself out. Overall sales in 2011 were 5.9% up on 2010. Though it was a 9.2% decrease from 2009. In other words overall things are getting better in the Vancouver real estate market though there is a marked drop in sales in December. If this shows to be a trend then we could have problems in the market. Comparing last year's sales to the 10 year average we see a 6.3% (below the ten year average). Supply of real estate was up last year with a 2.7% increase in listings in 2011. More listings trend and less buyers (it is predicted there to be 15% less buyers in the Vancouver real estate market in 2012 then 2011) simple economics dictates that the prices are set to drop in 2012.

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Thursday, December 8, 2011 Surrey is the unlikely star of Vancouver Real Estate!
In BC we are very aware that Surrey is a huge success story in the Vancouver real estate market. Surrey is currently the second largest city in BC and has totally transformed its image from a suburb to one of the fastest growing cities in the whole of Canada! If the future it is predicted that Surrey real estate will overtake Vancouver real estate as the largest city in the Province. It is an excellent investment centre because it has two border crossing to the U.S. and infrastructure that includes five major highways, four railways, sea docks and a strong rental market.

by Vancouver Realtor ® Russell Sharp Tuesday, December 6, 2011 Sanctions on Iranian investments into Canada could affect North Vancouver Real Estate I have just been informed that if clients have an income from Iran or are resident from Iran there are sanctions imposed by the Canadian Government which make it illegal for these people to bring in this money to Canada to invest as down payments or be given lines of credit. With as many as 50,000 Iranian people on the North Shore of Vancouver this has to have an effect on the market in north vancouver and the west vancouver real estate market.If you are a Persian client in Vancouver and would like to work with a Western Realtor I would be delighted to help you find a Vancouver home.
