announcements: A Change in the BC Real Estate Market - 07/24/08 10:20 AM
After five years of blockbuster activity and double-digit price growth here in BC, real estate market conditions have slowed, and now favour buyers in many areas of the province.
Across the province, residential sales have declined 22 per cent in the first six months of this year, while available resale inventory has grown by 54 per cent to 57,000 active listings in June. In the Greater Vancouver area, inventory is at the highest level since 1998.

announcements: Pender Island Events - Canada Day Long Weekend June 27-July1 - 06/27/08 07:22 AM
 It's here -- one of the busiest summer weekends here on Pender. The ferry lineups are long, it's hard to find a parking space down at the Driftwood Centre, and the grocery store will run out of bread by Sunday afternoon. But, all is well...most residents are happy to share Pender's wealth with our summertime visitors. After all, the quiet winter months are not far away, and there will be lots of time for winter walks in the woods with no one else around, and long evenings spent around the woodstove reading and playing cards.
But enough about winter. You're here … (1 comments)

British Columbia's Gulf Islands and Sunshine Coast communities are drawing more and more people who want a piece of the stunning physical beauty, gentle climate, and rural charm.  Steadily increasing demand for land in these areas is resulting in higher property values and taxes. More development also means more pressure on sensitive island ecosystems that are frequently home to rare and endangered species.
