August 2012 Monthly Vancouver Real Estate E-Newsletter

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Krista Freeborn

Looking for an update on what's happening in the real estate market now? My monthly newsletter provides you with stats, updates, new changes in the industry, and something fun to do in Vancouver. Enjoy!

August 2012

You have heard the rumors and they are true...the summer slow down is upon us! Hey, who wants to be at an open house when it's hot and sunny outside and you could be at the beach, or camping, or vacationing in one of BC's fabulous getaway spots? I don't blame you! Let's enjoy this fabulous weather while we have it. It seems the weather man is making up for last summer's super short season. That being said, the perfect time to buy is when no one else is, forcing some sellers to drop their price in an effort to entice the masses to view their home. The market typically picks up again mid-September when kids are back in school, and everyone is settling back into their routines, so if you want to buy this fall, contact me in the next few weeks and we'll put a plan in place to get the process started. Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone! See you in September!

Market Statistics

It's a buyers market downtown and the Westside, and a balanced market on the Eastside. Prices fell downtown and the Eastside, and increased on the Westside. Inventory is stabilizing, and sales dropped in all segments except for houses on the Eastside where we saw a small increase. Read More...

What's happening in Gastown?

The city's oldest neighbourhood, Gastown, is exploding with new talent...restaurants, delis, retail shops, art, design, and more! The community has a great website showcasing what's new and happening in Gastown. Judas Goat now has a patio, Boneta has a fabulous patio in the coolest courtyard in the city. I just bought a Chocolate Chip, Bacon, Cashew Oatmeal cookie at Save-On-Meats and went back instantly for 6 more...and they didn't last long! You simply cannot beat the diversity and character of Gastown! If you haven't made the trip to Gastown in a while, come on down...you won't be disappointed! Gastown.org
