The Real Estate Market is heating up….
The total number of residential sales in Greater Vancouver in May ’09 (3,524 homes) was 17.4% higher than in May ’08.

The Benchmark Price for residential properties is 4.5% higher than it was at the start of this year (although still lower than it was in May a year ago).

Interest rates seem to be remaining low & stable – if you’re waiting to buy or refinance your existing mortgage, now be a good time to get yourself organized.  Please contact our office and we’ll be more than happy to walk you through the process.
