My Favorite Acitive Rain Articles This Week - 09/27/10 11:55 PM
 My favorite Active Rain news articles of the week are as follows.  You really have to give it out to these writers for sharing this information, and I am doing so here: (1) If Bill H.R. 5028 is passed in the US it will mean that those who foreclose on their property will be able to rent their properties from the bank at market value.  This "Proposed Bill in Congress Could Crush Housing Industry"  In my opinion,  this constitutes another form of usury in my opinion.  If i was a homeowner in that position I am not sure if I would accept.  Think … (3 comments)

HD vs Photo visual Tours? You be the Judge - 09/27/10 10:33 PM
Wht's the scoop with High Definition video and Visual Tours? 
I just found out about High Definition video for my listings at a reasonable cost, and my eyes and their appetite has gone 'wow! I want it!'.   I mean, just look at this page and check out what they guys can do.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not a newbie to visual tours and technologies like that.  Not that there's anything wrong with that!  Right?  In fact, I've been using the VisualTour company for my listings' "visual tours" and it's worked out great.  They keep great statistics of visitors, track where … (0 comments)

Surplus Olympic Condos: Driving Overall Prices Up or Down? - 09/26/10 04:08 AM
Vancouver Olympic Condo Inventory Surplus of Olympic condos in Vancouver is definitely not moving as fast as was hoped by developers.  The present statistics are as follows:  there are 483 units in the former Olympic athletes' village remaining and their sales are indeed sluggish.
That is nothing compared to what's coming.  There is a new development scheduled to begin shortly across the street from the Olympic Village.  This development, called the "Wall Financial Corp's" development slated to put out another 550 units of "semi-affordably priced" units within the next three years.
What does this mean to the condominium inventory in Vancouver … (0 comments)

The Elite Invest In Vancouver, And So Should You - 09/25/10 06:21 AM
You have all heard of the owner of Mr. Lube, and Boston Pizza, as well as a few other foundations and businesses: The Trelivings.  I just read an article about their real estate holdings in the National Post, citing their holdings in Palms Springs, Dallas, West Vancouver and Vancouver Downtown as well as White Rock, as well as Toronto.  They boasted having the entire Team Canada to their home, after the 2010 Olympics, to celebrate their success!  Not bad.To the point: They are reputed as saying the buying real estate in Vancouver is one of the best decisions they've ever made. … (2 comments)

Info on Leasehold Properties, in Vancouver, BC - 09/23/10 11:52 PM
 
To Buy or To Lease a Home Be advised that there are some caveats about leasehold properties you should understand which "may" apply to this property.  I advise that you address these items as they "may" apply to this specific leasehold roperty.  If you don't get the answers to this please let me know and I'll help.  Not each caveat applies to each property so always seek the advice of a Professional REALTOR®.

One Example of a Stagnant Property - 09/22/10 04:36 PM

Economic Downturn or, Rather, Business Vacancies at All Time Low - 09/22/10 02:15 AM
There is a lot of negative news out there.  I don't have to list it, it's everywhere you look.  And then, in an otherwise conservative newspaper, the Financial Post, I seem to have found an "optimistic" gem.
Apparently Vancouver is seeing an all time low vacancy rate in the business rental sector.  More specifically, "if you're thinking about setting up shop in downtown Vancouver" good luck, as these have been almost "wiped out."  According to the statistics in the article, the Vacancy rates are not only among the lowest in the country but the rental rates for the same commercial properties … (0 comments)

Donating Blood? Altruistic... or Just a Realistic REALTOR!? - 09/21/10 12:28 AM
Blood: It's In You To Give  
I've been a blood donor for some time now.  It doesn't seem to have much to do with real estate except for the analogous parallels between (1) finding clients their homes, (2) making them fortunes in smart real estate investments, or (3) just making sure they enjoy safe and mold-free environements in their homes.  Real Estate and health actually DO have a lot in common, so this article rides that wave to another level.
I can't tell you how and why I started giving blood except to say that "it was in me to give" and it just made … (4 comments)

Postal Code Lookup for our Clients. - 09/19/10 10:25 PM

Have you ever had strange requests from clients you never anticipated?  I've recently been asked by more and more of my clients to find properties by postal code.  Now, asking about neighborhood names, schools, parks and so on is something not unusual - BUT postal codes searches, have definitely been something I've not had to do much.In solidarity with my fellow REALTORS(r) out there, then, here is a great resource for us Vancouverites that should make that job a little bit easier.  Unfortunately I don't have "zipcodes" in this article.  I apologize in advance, but I haven't looked up zipcode … (3 comments)

Digesting All The Media Into One Coherent Whole - 09/18/10 05:14 AM
Digesting Real Estate News This article is an invitation to discuss the world news on real estate :)  To hit it off, from my personal/professional standpoint, here is my 2 cents.
For the first time in weeks have I read an article that manages (better than others) to consolidate the thought around the upcoming fall-market. It's a mix of reports among the continuum of (1) gloom/doom on the one hand and, on the other, themes of (2) assurances and positivism that we also know aren't entirely true. Both extremes are paving a road for Aristotle, it seems: the proponent of the … (1 comments)

What Would Scrapping the HST in BC Actually Mean? - 09/15/10 01:04 AM
 
Scrapping the HST good/bad? It's hard enough to pinpoint, exactly, what the HST has actually done to the Real Estate business.   Are the supposed negative effects just disinformation?  It's spiked the spring markets before July 1st, of this year; it created a backlash and coupled conservatism in Real Estate buyers due to inadequate information about how the tax affects them; it has increased the cost of living by another 7 percent; among other factors.  The question I'd like to ask is what it would mean to be rid of it?  Today, an article on Canadian Real Estate Magazine said that "B.C. … (4 comments)

Is 20% Down NOT Enough: Will Higher Down-Payments Be Necessary Soon? - 09/13/10 04:40 AM
 
Is 20% Down NOT Enough: Will Higher Down-Payments Be Necessary Soon? At least two reports - such as the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives REPORT this August as well as the CHMC Housing Market Outlook, among others - posit unique long-term projections on Vancouvers (as well Canada's broad) real estate market future.   Overall, "some 7.5 percent of Canadian households could be 'financially vulnerable' by mid-2012 if borrowing keeps up at the same pace"(Globe and Mail, Sep 13, "‘Future shocks’ forecast for housing market") suggesting that, by virtue of Vancouver's prices being among the highest in the Country, an even larger percentage of Vancouver's … (0 comments)

Canadians Have Much More Disposable Income than US or UK - 09/08/10 06:28 AM

I have read a great economics article at Seeking Alpha and the Unconventional Economist.  It presents some great points on a number of recent reports and I'm going to present a personal summary of these arguments in my own words.  According to this article, and commentary by the Author, Canada's real estate markets are definitely not at their peak bubble, and still have a ways to go because of this spread in disposable income versus critical income.   This concept, however, is counteracted by the fact that we are not equipped for any "correction" or "levelling" of prices because, when push comes to shove, … (2 comments)

The CMHC Report vs. Bubble Talk: Calculator vs Speculator - 09/06/10 08:41 PM
 
What News Means I try to read something newsworthy every day in the media and today there was a gross disparity of Real Estate related thought.  Long weekend?  Perhaps!  So what I learned today was that Homeowners belong to a majority of those who pay their credit card bills on time (65% of the time), compared to non-homeowners who apparent don't as much (45% percent of the time).  Read it for yourself here.After I wet my appetite, I got reading something a bit more serious.  And, on a quest for knowledge and "nerdyness," I picked up the CMHC third Quarter Housing … (0 comments)

The First to Fall: Parallels between Loan Defaults and the Federal Government's Mortgage Buy-Back - 09/05/10 03:47 AM

I was contemplating what the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives means by the word “correction.”  I’m no economist, I admit, so what I’m about to say could be fraught with logical leaps.  That said, as my dear reader, let me know if I’ve got entirely out to lunch in this article – I thank you in advance if I have!
This happened when I re-read the Financial Post’s article titled “Housing will be banks’ next sore spot.”  The thoughts that came to me weren’t pretty but actually felt like the sub-text or meaning between the lines sneaking through.  Could it be that … (0 comments)

Jark’s Critique of “VANCOUVER SUN’S ‘Vancouver’s home buyers taking their time in August: Lofty house prices fall slightly’ - 09/04/10 04:43 AM

RE: VANCOUVER SUN'S "Vancouver's home buyers taking their time in August: Lofty house prices fall slightly"
I invite debate about the views I've expressed in this article - perhaps they could stimulate some healthy discussion.
One of the arguments in the Article is that "one-third of buyers were first timers compared with 40 per cent or more in previous months" and the effects from this are said to be "evidence of the impact that new, tighter, mortgage qualification rules introduced in April have had on the market."
I find it problematic to posit the effect of these interest rates (1) considering … (0 comments)

Buy or Sue: Would No Strata Fees for a few Years Entice You? - 09/04/10 01:08 AM
This is my analysis of a CBC Article on the Olympic Village condo sales in Vancouver (available for download here), my home-town and local community.  I quote from the article three times below, with permission, and these quotations are italicized.  
I find that my views differ from the authors and find it necessary to include some quotations to indicate my point
Let’s do the math here for a second. If the average strata fee is approximately 250 dollars, at 12 months that’s a total of $3,000. For a condo priced at 400,000 that’s less than a 1% discount from the listing … (3 comments)

BMO Cuts Interest Rates – “great time to buy” - 09/03/10 03:49 AM

A great article I found  at the Vancouver Condo Info site argues that it's a great time to buy real estate right now.  The fact is, however, that it's been a great two years to buy in Vancouver in particular and, in the rest of the country, with prices still on the rice despite the attractive interest rate, numbers add up to favor the buyer, not the big brother.
"In the lowest 5-year rate in history, I think moments like this should be documented AND should be indicators of what our economy at large is going through." (Vancouver Condo)

Why RSPs Should Be used to buy Real Estate (as for HOW, ask your Financial Planner) - 09/02/10 11:07 PM

Have you made or lost money in mutual funds or registered saving’s plans?  
If you have any experience in this market and have you ever wondered who profits from this industry?  Did you know that Canada’s financial markets account for approximately 6% of our GDP (“gross domestic product”).  In fact, there are approximately 600-700 billion dollars of assets held in RSP money in the Canadian markets, which is a profoundly staggering number.  This doesn’t take into account the unused contribution room that can be counted as well.  
This can essentially add up to closely to a Trillion dollars … (0 comments)

2.26% Property Tax Increase - 09/02/10 10:30 PM

Here is the summary and critique of a Vision Vancouver report on the very contested Property Tax issue from early this year.
The reported property tax increase figure is officially 2.26% – but the figure, as we know it, does not reveal whether this change shall be a broad increase spanning both residential and commercial properties, if they should be lumped up into one rubric or not.  In fact, commercial and residential properties tax shifts and responsibilities differ so much that they should rather no be lumped into the same category.  For instance, as any property owner knows, Property taxes … (0 comments)

Canadian Economy – An International ‘Safe Haven’? - 09/02/10 10:28 PM

There are reports from CREA and Metro that Canada’s economy is poised to receive more international investment than expected. 
The Feb 12 Metro article “Canada seen as a safe investment: CIBC” (linked below) argues that “the country has sound banks and a solid AAA credit rating [with] expectations that it will lead it speers in growth over the next few years.” 
I have scanned a few of these reports for you to read, if you're interested, namely:

Xtra’s Article on “Foreclosure” by Jark Krysinski (published in July, 2010) - 09/02/10 10:22 PM

“You thought “Foreclosures” were supposed to be a “Deal”!?
Many a budding and thrifty first-time buyers, investors, or returning Real Estate “just lookers” assume they’ll find themselves a “great deal”on a “foreclosure” somewhere and, in so doing, “outsmart” everyone else.  Alas, if it were only that easy!  There are many different types of “foreclosure”.   The most common “foreclosure” I will discuss here is the legal process called “foreclosure.”
“Foreclosure” is where a Lender begins to cancel the borrower’s right to redeem their property – catch up with late payments and/or fines and/or taxes and/or penalties – or takes that privilege away.  If the borrower doesn’t co-operate, … (0 comments)

August 22nd Mortgage Changes - 09/02/10 10:11 PM

[Mortgage update according to Pauline Tonkin]  Over the past few weeks we have seen a steady decline in fixed rates. Even the discount on variable rates is dropping.
We have been notified that the rates below – for some lenders – will drop again tomorrow. This rate drop may not stick around for long though as the bond market may move again and result in a bounce back in rates.

Canadian house prices rose 1.3 per cent in May from a month earlier, and now stand 4.2 per cent above their pre-recession peak, according to a Teranet-National Bank composite house price index. It marked the 13th straight month of increases and the second that prices rose in each of the six regions it covers. National Bank economist Marc Pinsonneault contrasted that to the real estate market in the United States, where prices are down almost 30 per cent from their peak. In … (0 comments)

This article does a good job at showing the following things:
1. The principle of supply and demand is often misunderstood in the Real Estate context, in that the critical fact is that a certain number of homes will always be required to house people, whether they rent or buy, used or new.2. Demand for housing — all kinds of housing — is growing, and Greater Vancouver’s share of provincial population … (0 comments)

Chinese Investors Ready To Buy in BC… - 09/02/10 10:01 PM

Here is a quick analysis on a very interesting article I picked up.  It is a Globe and Mail article I found enlightening, particularly it's subtle but enlightening standpoint on Asian-Pacific investments in Canada's West coast and beyond. 
This article talks about some 30 investors taking a tour of Toronto and Vancouver, scheduled for August and September of this summer, all 30 of whom are said to be "dropping" a half-million dollars each on real estate investments.

Hello, my name is Jark! I have been a real estate investor for the past 15 years, predominately in the Greater Vancouver area but also in the developing real-estate locales of Whistler as well as Revelstoke. I share my research and writing on a daily basis as an added service to my clients. It's important to realize that REALTORS are not only sales people but are also scholars of Real Estate in their own right. The hundreds of articles I've published serve to exemplify this point. In Vancouver specifically, I’ve bought and sold more than four businesses of my own – prior to licensing as a real estate licensee – and have bought three passive real-estate holdings. If you’re looking for an agent who’s not only thought about real estate but has also bought and sold his own properties, and taken his own calculated risks, give me a holler and we’ll discuss the market and your participation therein. For more than theory, speak to someone who’s empirically on the same page as an experienced real estate investor.
