Before and After of the Dunbar Home
We're getting ready to put this home on the market, after a bit of decluttering in the next couple of weeks.
 
We've had a crew on-site for a few days helping with the declutter, and we're excited to see how the property will be looking in the final stages.
 
Here is the before, stay tuned for the after!

Here's our latest video, where Jill and I discuss the upcoming Speculation Tax in British Columbia.

There are some big changes coming in 2022 to B.C. Stay in the know.

The speculation and vacancy tax is an annual tax based on how owners use residential properties in major urban areas in B.C. 

This tax will go towards, as stated on the government website, to:

- turn empty homes into good housing for people who live and work in B.C.

- and support affordable housing initiatives

Here's the website we mention in our video: gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/speculation-vacancy-tax

It's a great time to buy right now!

Why?

Well, a lot of our clients that bought properties in late November to early January did very well buying properties during this time of year.

There are fewer buyers working at this time of the year so you're able to negotiate a deal rather than wait for the buyers to come back to the market in March and April.

Learn more about what Andrew Hasman from Remax has to say about the market this time of year as well as his tips.

We are talking to business coach, Danny Macedo about the housing market in Vancouver's west side.


The west side of Vancouver is home to some of Vancouver and Canada's most expensive real estate, but it also offers some more affordable properties.


The average detached home price over the last year averaged about 3.5 million dollars, which is up about 10% over the previous year.


The condo market on Vancouver's west side is around $800,000.


Most of the activity in this area is first-time home buyers at up to 1.5 million.


Like many areas across North America, we are experiencing a lack of housing supply on the market with housing inventory down.


There are about 750 single detached houses for sale in Vancouver's west side, which is about a 20% increase from the previous year. 150 of those homes are being sold into land assemblies where blocks of homes on busier streets will become larger buildings due to land rezoning.


If you're intersted in selling your home, please get in touch! 604-657-7936 or andrew@andrewhasman.com

Andrew Hasman from REMAX discusses the busy October market for 2021 in Vancouver.


Think the market has slowed down? Not quite, as there is a high demand in Vancouver. If you're thinking about waiting to sell your home until the spring, here's some perspective:


We've got a cute heritage home for sale on a smaller lot at 4346 James Street, in Vancouver listed just below 2 million, and that's currently considered on the affordable end of the scale.

We put this home for sale on Monday, three days later, we have booked close to 50 by appointment realtor viewings.


That means that 50 Vancouver Realtors have called us with their homebuying clients to book viewings at this property.


The Vancouver housing market is busy with a low inventory of homes, that makes it a great time to see your property.


Don't miss out on this property, we're expecting this property to sell over asking in one week.


We appreciate all referrals.

What do you do if your property has been on the #Vancouver market for three or four months without selling? Is it because of the price?

If your propety has been on the marketing for more than 120 days. This is what you need to do:

  1. Ask your real estate agent to cancel the listing and list it again as a brand new listing so that you can reset the number of days on the market to zero. 

  2. If your property has been on the market for more than 120 days, buyers often assume there is a problem with the property, and not how it was listed. 

  3. Changing up your photos can give your property more appeal. Even just switching around the photos on the listing can make a big difference. 
  4. Change out any copy that talks about "first showings" with dates that are months ago. 5. Have a conversation about your listing price. Is your price out of step with the current market?

If you have any questions about refreshing your listing, please get in touch: 604-657-7936

Remax Realtor, Andrew Hasman gives his breakdown on the Vancouver housing market. No surprise that July has seen a settling down. This year is unlike any other year.

Summer is here, covid restrictions are easing, people are starting to travel and vaction. The audience has gone down, the market has eased with fewer buyers with properties taking a little longer to sell –it's a normal summer market.

Great time for buyers. Interest rates are still down, less buyers, you may want to put on some conditions.

Where do we go from here? Summer will likely stay steady. it's still a good market. Prices could settle back but there are still enough buyers out there to keep pricing in check.

Expect a full market pick up in November. In the meantime, enjoy your summer, and stay health and safe! Contact Andrew anytime at 604-657-7936

Realtors need a good, reliable, comfortable, and fun car as part of their arsinal of equipment to help run their business as they head around town to meet clients and for viewings and showings.


Some of the things I love about the Polestar 2 electric car by Volvo is that it isa good looking car, with great looking wheels, the lines are pleasing and it's sporty.


The interior is like being in a cockpit, it's comfortable, with tonnes of ways to adjust the seat. The dashboard is easy to read.


Regarding performance of the car, the range is great. I do a lot of running around each day and with starting at a full battery, 90%, I'm home at the end of the day with about 60-65% charge left. 160 km per charge is great for city driving.

Acceleration is great for me. If you throw your foot back on the accellerator, you get thrown back into the seat.


Other nice things include:


- no key no button start
- put it in drive or reverse to go
- turn it off by leaving the car
- love the big skylight
- lots of storage
- stearing wheel, nice and tight, takes corners well


Overall, I love mine! And, currently, there aren't many of them on the road. Hope this is helpful!
