November property sales in the Fraser Valley are up slightly compared to last year and didn’t experience the usual month-over-month seasonal decline. 

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 1,120 sales in November on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), an increase of 3 per cent compared to the 1,084 sales during the same month last year and a decrease of 2 per cent compared to 1,139 sales in October.  In the last decade, sales decreased on average 9 per cent from October to November.

Board president, Sukh Sidhu says, “Given the time of year, Fraser Valley is experiencing steady buying activity with notable month-over-month increases in the sale of homes with an attractive price point.

“For example, townhome sales in central Surrey increased by 20 per cent in one month and in Langley by 43 per cent.” Sidhu adds, “Fraser Valley offers buyers the key value of affordability. Currently, over half of our townhomes and condos are listed for $289,000 or less.” 

While sales remained stable, MLS® inventory decreased from October to November, typical for the time of year. The board posted 1,926 new properties in November, an increase of 9 per cent compared to November of last year and a decrease of 23 per cent compared to October. November finished with 9,471 active listings in the Fraser Valley, 5 per cent more than the same month last year and 5 per cent less than October’s 10,005 listings.   

Sidhu says, “Even with fewer listings coming on stream, buyers can still take advantage of almost nine months of inventory, which is putting downward pressure on prices in certain areas and property types.”  Prices for a typical Fraser Valley apartment are down year-over-year and month-over-month, while both single family detached and townhomes are still showing positive price gains compared to November last year and remain stable compared to October. 

In November, the benchmark price of a detached home in the Fraser Valley was $532,086, an increase of 5.4 per cent compared to $504,848 in November 2010 and an increase of 0.3 per cent compared to October.

For townhouses, the benchmark price in November was $327,764, an increase of 2.5 per cent compared to the same month last year when it was $319,623 and up 0.7 per cent compared to October. The benchmark price of apartments in November was $238,461, a decrease of 1.6 per cent compared to November 2010 and a decrease of 2.2 per cent compared to October.  

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales of detached, attached and apartment properties on the region’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) system reached 2,317 in October, a 1 per cent decrease compared to the 2,337 sales in October 2010 and a 3.2 per cent increase compared to the previous month. Those sales rank as the second lowest total for October over the last 10 years.

“Right now, prospective home buyers have a good selection of properties to choose from and more time to make decisions,” Rosario Setticasi, REBGV president said. “Home sellers should be mindful of local market conditions to ensure they are pricing their properties competitively.”

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 4,374 in October, which is on par with the 10-year average. This represents an 18.3 per cent increase compared to October 2010, when 3,698 properties were listed for sale on the MLS®, and a 23 per cent decrease compared to the 5,680 new listings reported in September 2011.

The total number of properties listed for sale on the Greater Vancouver MLS® system currently sits at 15,377, which is 9.3 per cent higher than the 14,075 properties listed for sale during the same period last year. October was the first month that the total number of property listings showed a decrease this year.

The MLSLink® Housing Price Index (HPI) benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver over the last 12 months has increased 7.5 per cent to $622,955 in October 2011 from $579,349 in October 2010. However, since reaching a peak in June of $630,921, the benchmark price for all residential properties in the region has declined 1.3 per cent.

Sales of detached properties in October reached 974, which represents virtually no change from the 976 detached sales recorded in October 2010, and a 34.5 per cent decrease from the 1,487 units sold in October 2009. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 11 per cent from October 2010 to $884,778, but decreased 1.3 per cent compared to the previous month.

Sales of apartment properties reached 958 in October, a 2.6 per cent decrease compared to the 984 sales in October 2010, and a decrease of 40.4 per cent compared to the 1,607 sales in October 2009. The benchmark price of an apartment property increased 3.2 per cent from October 2010 to $402,702, but decreased 0.7 per cent compared to the previous month.

Attached property sales in October totalled 382, a 1.3 per cent increase compared to the 377 sales in October 2010, and a 37.4 per cent decrease from the 610 attached properties sold in October 2009. The benchmark price of an attached unit increased 6.5 per cent between October 2010 and 2011 to $519,455, and increased half a per cent compared to the previous month.

Property sales on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s  Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®)  in September were the third lowest for that month in the last decade, while new listings for September ranked the second highest.

Sukh Sidhu is FVREB’s president. “This is the third month in a row based on the 10-year average where we’ve seen lower sales combined with a higher influx of new listings.”

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 1,165 sales in September, an increase of 12 per cent compared to the 1,044 sales during the same month last year and a decrease of 13 per cent compared to 1,341 sales in August.

The board posted 2,651 new properties on its MLS® in September, an increase of 10 per cent compared to September of last year and on par with the listings it received in August. The number of active listings in the Fraser Valley remained at 10,096 in September, at an annual high for the last three months.   

Sidhu adds, “This trend is stabilizing home prices in the Fraser Valley resulting in the price of a typical detached home in September being only slightly higher than it was in May.

“Although average prices year-over-year are still showing strong increases or decreases for some communities, make sure to ask your local REALTOR® for the benchmark price as well. It’s the predicted sale price of a typical home in your neighbourhood and unlike the average price, isn’t sensitive to sales of high-end or low-end homes. It’s one of our most reliable pricing tools.”

The benchmark price of a single family detached home in the Fraser Valley in September was $530,321, an increase of 4.5 per cent compared to $507,429 in September 2010 and 0.3 per cent higher than the price in August.

For townhouses, the benchmark price in September was $327,546, an increase of 1.8 per cent compared to the same month last year and unchanged with the price in August. The benchmark price of apartments in September was $243,420, an increase of 1.6 per cent compared to September 2010 and down 0.9 per cent compared to August.

So I recently took clients out to view some townhomes for his first home buyer experience.  There were some questions as to what area they wanted so I showed them some picks from newton, Sullivan station, Cloverdale and clayton.  The first home we went to see just did not fit their needs!  It may have been the turquois wall colouring or the bright blue flooring but it was a good indication of what the area provided in terms of price per square foot.  The next townhome we saw horrified us and prompted this blog post.  When we walked in we noticed paint spots in the main entrance way as if someone had gone "Picasso" on the interior and forgotten to lay a paint matt down... or at least some newspaper.  We continued through the home to find many of the faux-pas I have talked about during my blog posts.  The carpets were tan coloured but black from high traffic areas.  Paint had been done most amateur-like with run marks all over floor boards and mouldings.  The place hadn't been dusted in years.  Take care of your home people!  This home was like something out of a nightmare... a book shelf caring an assortment of things that weren't books, jars and such all leaning precariously because the shelf had not been maintenance in a very long time.  The middle bowing like an archer at the last Olympics.  Storage area and living areas unkept with garbage and debris everywhere.  It didn't take long for us to quickly learn this townhome wasn't the house we were looking for but we moved through it nonetheless because sometimes, despite your best efforts, you can't help but keep looking at a car crash... no matter how horrific.  By the time we were done viewing this home, our skin had that creepy crawly feeling you get when you've witnessed something you just weren't meant to see.  I felt compelled to tell the realtor my thoughts.  "This is the worst place we've seen so far... how can your sellers keep a place so unclean?"  Her reply was simply that they had kids, but this was just an excuse since there were many things more problems with this place other than kids.  I told her that if you were going to show a home, at least clean the carpets!  Her reply was that the owner had just had the carpets steam cleaned.  I laughed at her and she became very irate.  I told her "please don't take personal offense to this... but as a realtor you are responsible for the sale of this property, please take this feedback back to your clients.  It still surprises me that people would want to sell their place without putting any pride of work into their product.  It shows a lack of respect for the market and a lack of respect for the savviness of the current buyers.  Your home should be a sparkling show home in order for it to sell in this competitive market.  We can all understand that life keeps people very busy and this may not be a top priority for them but please know that it is directly tied to the sale of your house... and hence should be one of the most important things you do when you list your home... is to keep it sparkling clean.  I have no doubt that this home will sit on the market in real estate purgatory until the RE gods decide it's fate! Needless to say, I showed my clients the next place which was sparkling clean and pristine and they have now written an offer on it and are steps away from buying their new home!

Are you thinking of selling your home? Before your REALTOR® begins showing your home, you will want to make sure it’s in tip-top condition. An attractive, well-kept home generally has a better chance of selling a little faster.

Minor exterior and interior improvements can add value to your home and need not require a large renovation bill. Think back to what first attracted you to your home; now determine how best to highlight and improve your home’s best features.

Here are a few ideas to help you perk-up your home’s appearance. Consult with your REALTOR® to see what types of improvements make the most sense.

Start with the outside: an inviting exterior ensures that potential buyers will inspect the interior.

• Keep lawns and gardens well maintained;
• Ensure garage and porch areas are free of clutter and refuse;
• Repair loose siding or pavement;
• Replace any damaged roof shingles, eaves troughs or cracked windows;
• Wash windows, gutters, mailbox and doors;
• Secure loose shutters or awnings.

The inside story: you can do a lot to improve the inside of your home without spending a great deal of money. Two primary areas to keep in mind are the kitchen and bathroom

• Ensure kitchen and bathrooms are sparkling clean;
• Repair dripping facets and showerheads;
• Steam clean or replace carpets if necessary;
• Thoroughly clean every room in the house, removing all clutter;
• Repaint dingy walls or kitchen cabinets with a neutral colour;
• Replace worn or outdated countertops and cracked light-switch plates.
• Remove any items (like chandeliers) that won't be included in the sale of the home.

Remember, the more effort put into the initial clean up, the easier it will be to keep your home looking its best for visits from your REALTOR® with prospective buyers. As well, keep in mind that rooms that are too cluttered will give the impression that they're much smaller than their true size. Try to create a feeling of spaciousness when conducting your spruce-up.

Pre-showing checklist

• As a courtesy to buyers, leave the house while the REALTOR® is conducting a showing;
• Keep pets out of the way – preferably out of your house during the showing;
• Ensure that every room is tidy, well aired and adequately lit;
• Put away Don't keep money, jewellery and small valuables in plain sight during a showing;
• Open drapes to maximize natural light;
• Keep all stairways and hallways clear;
• Use finishing touches like fresh flowers and candles.

Ask your REALTOR® for his or her checklist to better prepare you for a showing or an open house. By following these relatively simple tips, you'll feel proud of your home and potential purchasers are sure to appreciate its beauty.

Plans to remove the HST and return to a provincial sales tax mixed with the Goods and Services Tax will probably cause some potential buyers of new homes in British Columbia to delay purchases until 2013, Central 1 Credit Union forecasts.

In a news release Thursday, Central 1 economist Bryan Yu said: "People looking at new homes priced over $525,000 may very well wait until the tax changes lower the 12 per cent hit they face."

The HST added provincial tax to new housing on top of GST and $525,000 was the upper limit for a rebate program intended to add no additional tax on homes.

Yu is forecasting that B.C.'s total home sales through the Multiple Listing Service will reach 88,200 units by the end of this year, which is down one per cent from 2010's sales mark.

However, while resale home transactions are forecast to end the year 4.7 per cent ahead of 2010, new home transactions will lag by 26 per cent.

While sales will remain soft, the median price will rise 6.8 per cent to $417,000, Yu said.

"The real estate market will remain stable for the next couple years, weighed down by global economic issues, moderate employment and population growth and changes to mortgage insurance rules," Yu said.

Central 1 forecasts that next year total home sales are expected to increase by about 3.4 per cent, driven by higher new home sales. The resale of existing homes will decline.

Meanwhile, the Canadian Real Estate Association released a report Thursday showing that the sale of exisiting homes across Canada declined 0.5 per cent in August.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, sales totalled to 37,177 units during the month, down from 37,378 in the previous month, the industry group said. However, sales were still up 15.8 per cent from August 2010, on a non-adjusted basis.

The national average home price of $349,916 in August, on a non-adjusted basis, was up 7.7 per cent from a year earlier.

"Economic headwinds will likely persist until, and indeed after, fiscal quagmires in the U.S. and Europe are resolved. In the meantime, the Bank of Canada will have ample reason to delay raising interest rates further, which is supportive for the Canadian housing market."

 A concrete roof tiles are one of the best investments you can make when it comes to installing new roofing on your home. While they do have a steeper initial cost than most other materials, concrete roofing tiles end up being a smarter investment in the end due to their vast superiority in longevity, durability and appearance when compared to other roofing materials.

Lasts a Lifetime
Sure, concrete will cost more up front, but keep in mind that there are structures in Europe where concrete roofing tiles have lasted well over a hundred years without needing replacement. With that kind of durability, it becomes clear why the initial investment in concrete will end up being a money saver in the end. Asphalt shingle roofing generally needs replacement every twenty to thirty years, and cedar shingles can require replacement even sooner if you don't keep up on regularly required maintenance. Concrete tiles, as a rule, are guaranteed for sixty years after installation, and most last well beyond that. It's clear why a concrete roof will save you money in the end and can honestly be called the roof of a lifetime.

Low Maintenance
Concrete roofing tiles are perhaps the most durable and maintenance free roofing material on the market. They are impervious to high wind, highly resistant to solar damage, and even weather large hail storms better than asphalt or cedar shake shingles. Furthermore, if your concrete roof is damaged by a major hailstorm, which is about the only weather phenomenon that can damage concrete tiles, you won't find yourself having to replace the whole roof as a result of the storm. Instead you'll just have to replace the tiles that have been damaged and the rest can stay where they are.

Fall is the best time to get all those seasonal home maintenance projects done around the house before the winter rains. People in the field all agree that preventive maintenance work is a lot easier when it is dry.

Regular seasonal maintenance is the best way to protect your real estate investment - and minimize unexpected expenses. Maintenance need not cost very much or require a lot of time. A regular schedule or checklist (see below) ensures that no items are missed.

It may be a good idea to check the wording in a homeowner's insurance documentation. Some insurance companies have a stipulation on the frequency of certain maintenance tasks. 

Plumbing 

The most common call for plumbers is to replace hot water tanks. A hot water tank typically lasts about eight years. "The best home maintenance advice I can give is for people to partially drain their tank twice a year," says Roland Isaacs, owner of Island Plumbing. "Doing so will probably extend the life of the tank an extra year or two."

Partially draining the tank removes any debris that may have settled to the bottom of the tank. He says people should turn off the power, hook up a hose to the drain valve (found on the bottom of a tank) and flush out perhaps 14 litres (three gallons) of water.

Outside Taps 

Unless they are frost-free ones - should be wrapped in burlap to prevent them from bursting due to winter freezing. An alternative is to bleed and then turn off the water to taps not in use over the winter from inside the house.

Drainage

Late summer is also the best time to have a plumber inspect and clean the perimeter drain system. Isaacs says the system typically fails in the winter with the heavy rains. People who put off repairs to the system until it is too late will be rewarded with a flooded basement. Most at risk are older systems, which use concrete and clay drain tiles. They fail because ground movement over the years knocks the tiles out of alignment, allowing sediment to accumulate in the system. Builders switched over to PVC drainage pipes - which are still in use today - in the 1970s.

Roofing and Gutters

Most homeowners know it is prudent to clean eavestroughs, downspouts and gutters of leaves and other debris before the fall rains start. Treatments to control moss buildup on a roof are more effective in the summer when the roof is dry.

Chimney

It's a good idea to have chimneys cleaned and inspected annually - even for homeowners who have switched over to burning natural gas, says David Edwards of Oak Bay Chimney Sweep. "People who heat with wood stoves need to clean their chimneys once a year," says Edwards, who has run his business for almost 30 years.

"But even if they don't heat with wood it is a good idea to have the chimney checked because there is a danger of carbon monoxide poisoning if it is plugged and not venting properly." Preventive maintenance includes applying a sealer on the brick to minimize moisture saturation. While he is cleaning the chimney Edwards will usually inspect the chimney and advise homeowners if the mortar between the bricks needs to be repaired or replaced.

Paint

Late summer and early fall is the perfect time to tackle exterior paint projects, says Brad McDonnell, of Brad McDonnell Painting and Decorating. Wood needs to be dry (less than 15 per cent moisture content) for paint to properly adhere. If the wood is too damp, the paint will likely blister as soon as the sun hits it next summer.

McDonnell says horizontal surfaces are the most susceptible to wear - and need to be painted more often - because they usually have standing water on them all winter.

Now is a good time to caulk any gaps and cracks around windows and doors. He recommends people use at least a 35-year caulking (50-year caulking is even better). Look for a product with silicone that allows paint to adhere.

Although people typically paint in the summer, there are now low-temperature paints available (down to 2 C) that can be applied year-round, especially on stucco.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales of detached, attached and apartment properties on the region’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) reached 2,378 in August. This total represents an eight per cent increase compared to the 2,202 sales in August 2010, but also ranks as the third lowest total for August in the last 10 years.

“MLS® statistics continue to indicate that we’re in a balanced market,” Rosario Setticasi, REBGV president said. “However, with a sales-to-actives listings ratio of 15 per cent, Greater Vancouver is in the lower end of a balanced market and has been trending toward a buyers’ market over the past three months.”

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 4,685 in August. This represents a 24.9 per cent increase compared to August 2010 when 3,750 properties were listed for sale on the MLS® and an eight per cent decline compared to the 5,097 new listings reported in July 2011. Last month’s new listing total was the highest volume recorded for August in 16 years.

At 15,437, the total number of residential property listings on the MLS® increased 1.4 per cent in August compared to July 2011 and rose 0.1 per cent compared to this time last year.

The MLSLink® Housing Price Index (HPI) benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver over the last 12 months has increased 8.5 per cent to $625,578 in August 2011 from $576,597 in August 2010.

“Year over year, prices are up. However, in the detached home category, benchmark prices have come down slightly in each of the past two months,” Setticasi said. “It’s important for people entering the market to understand that activity can differ significantly depending on the area and property type.”

Sales of detached properties on the MLS® in August 2011 reached 1,020, an increase of 14.2 per cent from the 893 detached sales recorded in August 2010, and a 25.4 per cent decrease from the 1,367 units sold in August 2009. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 11.7 per cent from August 2010 to $888,243.

Sales of apartment properties reached 955 in August 2011, a 2.1 per cent increase compared to the 935 sales in August 2010, and a decrease of 34.8 per cent compared to the 1,464 sales in August 2009. The benchmark price of an apartment property increased 5.6 per cent from August 2010 to $407,457.

Attached property sales in August 2011 totalled 403, a 7.8 per cent increase compared to the 374 sales in August 2010, and a 33.9 per cent decrease from the 610 attached properties sold in August 2009. The benchmark price of an attached unit increased 4.5 per cent between August 2010 and 2011 to $511,433.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 1,341 sales on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in August, an increase of 35 per cent compared to the 997 sales during the same month last year and slightly higher than the 1,322 sales in July.

Sukh Sidhu, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, says, “We typically see a summer dip in sales in August compared to July and that didn’t happen this year. We attribute the current steady market to interest rates remaining favourable, as well as buyers taking advantage of home prices softening slightly in certain markets and an influx of new inventory across all property types.”

The board posted 2,644 new properties on its MLS® in August, an increase of 26 per cent compared to August of last year and 10 per cent fewer than it received in July. The number of active listings in the Fraser Valley remained at 10,074 in August, on par with July’s volume.

“The number of homes on the market remains at a yearly high, which combined with a decrease in sales, can put downward pressure on pricing. We’re only seeing this in some communities for certain property types underlining the importance for both sellers and buyers to obtain local real estate expertise.

“Year over year, home prices in the Fraser Valley are either on par or showing increases; month over month, benchmark prices for the three main residential property types combined declined by 1.3 per cent.”

The benchmark price of a single family detached house in the Fraser Valley in August was $528,959, an increase of 3.7 per cent compared to $510,107 in August 2010.

For townhouses, the benchmark price in August was $327,317, an increase of 0.9 per cent compared to $324,485 during the same month last year. The benchmark price of apartments in Fraser Valley in August was $245,751, an increase of 2.5 per cent compared to $239,659 in August 2010.

I am so happy to share this news with all of you.  On August 7th the love of my life has brought me two amazing and healthy twin baby boys. Please welcome Dominik (Left) and Gabriel (Right) into the world. As a father I could not be more proud.  Entering fatherhood is never easy and quite a surprise for me.  But this has been a blesssing as I have two more reasons now to celebrate this very fortunate life. As the days go buy, I learn more of what it is like to take the very first steps as a responsible father.  A very daunting task to say the least, but one I am prepared for! This has changed my life forever in a way that I could have never expected. Despite these changes in my life, I maintain a healthy relationship with the love of my life and the business of real estate.  Time to become an expert time juggler.

I am so happy to see the canucks in the stanley cup finals.  I was just 14 year old the last time they were there against the rangers.  Since then we've all suffered some losses that is enough to dampen the hearts of all canucks fans.  Well this is a spectacle for the eyes for sure. If you haven't been downtown yet... then I suggest that you at least make it there for one game!  Like the olympics... this wll be an event like no other.  My predictions is the Canucks will win the stanley cup in 7 games!  Although I hope that they win it in 5 at home ;) I am also expecting twins on the way this year!  I'm hoping that a stanely cup win, and the birth of my two twin boyz... will be a good excuse to put them into hockey? What are your thoughts?

I have always tried to keep it fresh on the cutting edge for my business development. It all started with the social network and facebook.

I am excited to move xtreme realtor.ca into the next phase of growth for 2011. This new website will improve functionality and search efficiency. Not only will you be able to browse the newest properties on the market... you will also be able to save searches, email information out to your friends and much much more. This website is 48 hours more currant than the competition.  You will recieve more information than MLS.ca and Realtor.ca like: Active Days On Market (ADOM), room dimensions, property tax information, lot sizes and so much more.  You have to see it to really believe it and all of my clients prefer my website to the competition. Please use and enjoy this website and all it's functionality.  Welcome yourself into the new era of home searching and help make this website the new standard in real estate searching.
