False Creek Real Estate Statistics Wow! There are are some pretty remarkable numbers here this month. False Creek real estate got hit over the head with a 3 day old baguette this past month. Of the 14 units listed for sale in False Creek in October, NOT ONE, sold! There were only 4 units sold in the whole month and three of those were pre-paid leasehold units! All that being said the average, and median, list price to sale price ratio was a very healthy 98! Take a look at the stats below. I am hoping to add some sexy graphs soon, but I still have some learning to do on the spreadsheet programs. LISTED IN FALSE CREEK IN OCTOBER Freehold Strata Units Listed:  11 (20,6,28)Pre-paid Leasehold Strata Units Listed: 2 (12,2,2)Non Pre-paid Leasehold Strata Units Listed:  1  ( 2,0,1)Total Units L...

Mellinium Water Vancouver's Olympic Village  - Trouble Ahead? As the credit crisis south of the border begins to creep north, concerns are mounting over the impact it may already be having on construction of the athletes' village for the 2010 Winter Games.Last week, members of Vancouver's city council held an emergency, in-camera meeting to get an update on the project. Much of the discussion revolved around the city's obligation in the event the developer, Millennium Development Corp., can't meet demands from the bank because of massive cost overruns, according to sources briefed on the meeting.Click here to read the full article. Another article in the Vancouver Sun "2010 Games in Crisis" raised concerns that B.C. taxpayers could be on the hook for about $1.5 billion. Just a week ago,...

So late getting this out, but I wanted to get these numbers done so we can have something to compare to next month. The market continues to see more inventory and lower sales. Here in False Creek all the numbers are quite low and so the month-to-month numbers vary quite dramatically. I will have to start doing a quarterly re-cap I think so we can get a better idea of what is really happening in False Creek real estate. Nonetheless here are July's numbers. August's are coming soon. LISTED IN FALSE CREEK IN JULY (last 2 month's numbers in brackets) Freehold Strata Units Listed: 28 (14,22)Pre-paid Leasehold Strata Units Listed: 2 (7,9)Non Pre-paid Leasehold Strata Units Listed: 1 (2,2) Total Units Listed: 31 (23,33) Median list price: $599,000 Total Listings Available as of July 30th: 65 (...

First I will start off by saying I am not a Realtor who is defensive about house prices reducing. That would be like being offended by the sun rising each day. History has shown that the sun comes up, the sun goes down. House prices go up, house prices go down. The difference is one is fairly predictable. To not accept the rise and fall of real estate prices would be unproductive if not irrational. Am I the only one who finds articles discussing the Canadian housing market seeing price reductions somewhat useless to home buyers? Am I buying or selling houses in Canada? Well yes...well sort of...well no. I was thinking about narrowing it down to a province or even maybe a city. Heck I may even be so brazen as to narrow it down to a particular neighbourhood. Now I realize that the media c...
