tricities: Home Buying is Easy...
- 09/02/10 01:59 PM
...at least according to commentary in a publication regularly inserted in a local newspaper, which is widely circulated throughout Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley communities: http://www.newlocalhome.com/editions/nlhr100722 The assertion, "...Homebuying is Easy," seems to be based on the supply of homes listed on MLS. I checked yesterday and the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) showed there were 16,700 listings available on a cross property search. The REBGV includes Richmond but doesn't include Surrey and other points south of the Fraser River and east up the Valley. The current Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) supply is 9,192 listings available on … (3 comments)

The "neglect in protecting homebuyers" is widespread, and Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Diane Thorne's concern is shared by many.Home buying is fraught with risk and claims far too many victims; whether resale or presale.The home inspection is one of the many ways a homebuyer is left unprotected.The home inspection contract has as many disclaimers, exclusions and limitations as the 2-5-10 new home warranty insurance program. Often the inspectors used by the warranty providers are unqualified to give an opinion; how can … (0 comments)
tricities: How far should a REALTOR® Go?
- 01/07/08 07:38 AM
I’m curious to know why Homebuyers and Sellers hire a REALTOR® from outside of the area to represent them. Why would a consumer not leverage all advantages in their favour? If you’ve ever heard, read or seen, a report on the Canadian real estate market, you’ll know that it is not necessarily reflective of what is happening locally in your neck of the woods. The micro looks different from the macro. All real estate is local and always has been. Should your REALTOR® also be local? As a neighbourhood specialist who brings value to the table, offering Buyers and sellers … (0 comments)
