2019 marks our 8th year participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer!  As proud members of Team Finn, we will be Crew Support for our 50 teammates on August 24 as they begin a challenging 2 day journey to Hope. 
 
Nothing, however, compares to the challenge of a family facing cancer. We know we are not alone in the experience and heartbreak of cancer as it affects our families, friends, colleagues & clients - and have been very motivated to support the cause since our first ride in 2012.  Through our association with Team Finn, we really see your dollars at work and making a tangible difference in the lives of children, their families, and others with cancer – here in BC, across Canada and around the world.
 
Thank you so much in advance for your contribution - every little bit helps!  We promise your dollars will go to work and be a tremendous gift to so many people who are living with Cancer.

Homes priced at the top 25% of the price range for a particular area of the country are considered “premium homes.” In today’s real estate market, there are deals to be had at the higher end! This is great news for homeowners wanting to upgrade from their current house.

According to Royal LePage's President & CEO, Phil Soper, "Some of the most desirable regions in Greater Vancouver are seeing home price declines. Properties in the region’s higher-end markets like West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, and the City of Vancouver are all declining in price offering buyers seeking luxury housing a rare window of opportunity to enter some of Canada’s highest priced markets"

A Buyer’s Market indicates that buyers have greater control over the price point. This market type is demonstrated by a substantial number of homes on the market and few sales, suggesting demand for residential properties is slow for that market and/or price point.

While luxury homes may take longer to sell than in previous years, the slower pace, increased inventory levels and larger differences between list and sold prices, represent a normalization of the market, not a downturn.

Luxury can mean different things to different people. To one person, luxury is a secluded home with plenty of property and privacy. To another, it could be a penthouse at the center of a bustling city. Knowing what characteristics mean luxury to you will help your agent find you the home of your dreams.

Bottom Line

If you are debating upgrading your current house to a higher priced, premium or luxury home, now is the time!
