Hi everyone, Just a little bit of a business update: I am a Realtor and Managing Broker that owns a small, Boutique Brokerage in Coquitlam that is central to the Tri-Cities but also within a stones throw of Vancouver, Burnaby, New West, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Langley and Surrey. I work extensively in Vancouver and Burnaby but also frequently help clients and agents in the Tri-Cities, New West, Pitt Meadows Maple Ridge and Langley. I enjoy helping my clients in the search for their new home and love negotiating on their behalf. I am always available for questions or to help research a property whether it is a detached house or strata property.
2016 was a wild ride and I have been re-grouping heading into 2017. This is a chance to re-organize, work on marketing and online presence as well as help new agents get into the business. Seems like house prices have cooled a little bit but condos and townhouses across the lower mainland are selling fast and still with multiple offers in many cases.
As well as working in Real Estate, I am looking for new agents to join my office. We are a small office with a team environment and good support from the manager(me)as well as the other agents who all help each other. If you or someone that you knows is interested in meeting up for a coffee and to chat about the office or the Real Estate industry please let me know.
Finally we are working on acquiring an office in Vancouver as well and should see that happening in the next 6 months or so. The Vancouver office would have room for a team to have an office of their own if they would like.

Metro Vancouver home buyers out in force in March
Demand continued to rise across Metro Vancouver's housing market in March.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver reached 4,060 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in March 2015. This represents a 53.7 per cent increase compared to the 2,641 sales recorded in March 2014, and a 32.6 per cent increase compared to the 3,061 sales in February 2015.

Last month’s sales were 26.8 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month.

"We're seeing strong competition amongst home buyers today. This is leading to more multiple offer situations and some upward pressure on home prices,” Darcy McLeod, REBGV president said. “For sellers, this means that it's taking less time, on average, for your home to sell if you have it priced correctly for today's market."

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Metro Vancouver totalled 5,968 in March. This represents a 13 per cent increase compared to the 5,281 new listings reported in March 2014.

Last month’s new listing count was 4.7 per cent higher than the region’s 10-year new listing average for the month.

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the REBGV MLS® is 12,376, a 14.5 per cent decline compared to March 2014 and a 4 per cent increase compared to February 2015.

“The number of homes for sale today is below what’s typical for this time of year,” McLeod said. “If you’ve been considering putting your property on the market, these market conditions indicate that now may be a good time to list.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $660,700. This represents a 7.2 per cent increase compared to March 2014.

The sales-to-active-listings ratio in March was 32.8 per cent. This is the highest that this ratio has been in Metro Vancouver since July 2007.

Sales of detached properties in March 2015 reached 1,711, an increase of 53.3 per cent from the 1,116 detached sales recorded in March 2014, and an 83.4 per cent increase from the 933 units sold in March 2013. The benchmark price for a detached property in Metro Vancouver increased 11.2 per cent from March 2014 to $1,052,800.

Sales of apartment properties reached 1,627 in March 2015, an increase of 47.1 per cent compared to the 1,106 sales in March 2014, and an increase of 65.7 per cent compared to the 982 sales in March 2013. The benchmark price of an apartment property increased 3.3 per cent from March 2014 to $390,200.

Attached property sales in March 2015 totalled 722, an increase of 72.3 per cent compared to the 419 sales in March 2014, and a 67.1 per cent increase from the 432 attached properties sold in March 2013. The benchmark price of an attached unit increased 4.9 per cent between March 2014 and 2015 to $484,900.
