The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports: In February, home buyers in North Vancouver remain active in all categories, however, home buyers across other Metro Vancouver cities are showing caution around property prices, new mortgage rules, rising interest rates and new tax rules. This buyer caution is mainly target at detchaed properties, while the supply of apartment and townhome properties is still unable to meet demand. Spring is traditionally the busiest time of year for home buyers and sellers inour market. We'll wait to see how they react to the taxes and other policy measures that our provincial and federal governments have introduced so far this year."
The key to success in any market is to be well prepared. My top priority is to help you navigate these changes in all types of market conditions. If you are planning a change in lifestyle, let's work together to make it happen. I look forward to working for you. Regards, Dodi 604.644.3634
