Vancouver Real Estate records bucking all trends

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

There’s only one city in North America other than Vancouver which has been bucking the trend when it comes to real estate pricing. That city is New York City. The similarities are staggering. A Vancouver 840 sq ft condo apartment now starts at $530,000. 00
The average house with 4 plus bedroom in Canada is moving for an average of $300000.00 Probably comes with a pool too.

So why is Vancouver so blessed/cursed depending what side of the fence you’re on? Well, it’s a factor of many things rather than just one. First of all, Vancouver is a pacific rim city. That means ports to asia and china. China is the worlds largest manufacturer so shipping is definitely a factor.

More importantly is quality of life in Vancouver. There are mountains, oceans, beaches, and high quality of hospital care. Also, Vancouver is the warmest city in Canada. It’s also one of the wettest. Yes Vancouver is a rain city with people moving in and out because of it.

Lastly, there’s a strong demand with little land. To the west is the ocean, to the east and north are the coastal mountains and to the south is the USA border. So the only places left to build are upward or seaward. Which probably will be a reality in the future.

If you own a home and are planning to sell, there’s never been a better time. Especially before the dreded HST hits everyone July 1st 2010.

Remember, if you do sell and need one of Vancouver’s best BC moving and Storage companies in Canada. Call the largest Canadian Family owned movers and storage firm to downtown Vancouver to move your home, condo or apartment.  Ferguson Moving & Storage 604-922-2212

Vancouver movers

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Movers are the most difficult home services for most homeowners to choose.

This is primarily because many people only move once every five years. There are some common things that homeowners can do to select movers that will do the best job.

Frequently homeowners will discuss with their friends who have moved recently what they did to accomplish hiring movers.

Friends tend to be one of the best resources to help you reach your hiring movers goal. On one hand a friend may have had a very good experience, they will discuss with you the things that they like.

Perhaps the movers were on time, blanket wrapped all the furniture, pack all the boxes carefully, were very pleasant and well mannered, were on time and on budget.

On the other hand if you find friends which had up poorer movers, they will tell you a very different story.

Perhaps the movers were late, poorly trained, rough with the furniture, not pleasant to be around, taking many breaks throughout the move, and much more than quoted. This will give you a good indication as to which moving companies to avoid.

However, simply because you had a good recommendation, does not necessarily mean those are the movers for you. What it does mean, is that that moving company is a good choice to discuss your move with further.
