I received an email from the Canadian Real Estate Board explaining that the Federal Government wants to put in place a bill that will stop people from sending out mass emails. This would mean that people would have to have some sort of relationship with the individuals they were sending emails to. Of course the Real Estate industry doesn't like this, just like the do not call list, howeve ...
Here is the picture that we received from meeting the Prime Minister in Ottawa. He spent a few minutes speaking then allowed all the different boards to have pictures with him and Jim Flaherty. It was quite the ordeal being locked in the ball room as bomb sniffing dogs traced the room and all the security guards around. At the end of the day it was great for Canadian Real Estate that he ...

I've heard from a lot of my clients that people are nervous about calling a Realtor about what a possible price for their home would be. Some are worried about wasting the Realtors time if they are not sure about selling right away. Some are not comfortable calling someone they don't know out of the blue. So if you are one of these people I would encourage you to send me an email with si ...

Ontario's government has snuck in the back door with this Harmonized Sales Tax. Now most items that used to only be taxed the 5% GST will be taxed 13% because they combined the GST and Provinal Tax. This really hurst real estate because when you get into the New house price range of over $400K this tax kicks in. I'm including some number to help better understand what will actually take ...
I am part of the Mayor's Housing Committee at City Hall. This morning we had a meeting to discuss what can be done both by the city and also individual stakeholders as to how to provide housing for those who need it most. It was a good meeting but showed just how big of a project this could be. The good thing is, the committee is filled with people who truly care about this problem and I ...
Here is my issue with home inspectors. They don't have degrees in everything they are inspecting yet we allow them to come in and give their opinions to our clients and scare the crap out of them. I had one inspector tell clients that the white film on the inside of the gas fireplace was because there was a leak and it needed to be looked at right away. What??? What kind of garbage is t ...
I am attending a meeting tonight that will be discussing how to green your strata. The conversation will be about grey water systems, double flush toilets etc. I've seen information on this before and I think it is a smart idea. We waste so much energy and water on strata's and hopefully some of these ideas will get put into practise. The main concern right now I think is still cost, bu ...

Showed a couple nice condo's in Abbotsford today. I remember growing up in Abby and Langdon was always an 'iffy' street. Now though, with the new church, new condo's and new townhouse's, it's quite a nice looking street. After our showing there we tried to get back onto South Fraser Way and it was all backed up due to a huge accident. A large SUV hit another car and sent it rolling onto ...

I always find it a little weird how buyers come in waves. I house will have no showings for 2 weeks then have 6 showings in 3 days. Again sit for another week without any showings, then get 4 more in 2 days. It's almost as if buyers all wake up together, sniff the morning air, hold up their licked finger to gauge the wind and decide whether or not it's a good day to buy. I had one situa ...
I have a meeting in Vancouver today at The Vancouver Club. Fancy smancy. Looking it up online I was informed of the dress code and policies. Normally I enjoy wearing a suit and tie but not on days where the temperature is 31 C. The information should be good though with a few key speakers discussing Government Relations issues.
Time to go.

...I just finished taking my 2 daughters out to try and fly a kite. It's been a while since I've tried this and we were sort of sucessful. We got the kite in the air a few times but before too long the wind would leave and the kite would fall back to earth. I can't complain though, had fun with my girls, enjoyed some sun and had a little ice cream after. Now I have an evening full of showi ...
The Chilliwack real estate market had a really good May. We were up 29% over April's numbers and listing numbers are down by 40% (listing numbers going down is a good thing)
Thanks to the great interest rates, lower house prices and awesome weather this should turn out to be a possitive spring market.
