Coqutilam Real Estate, Homes For Sale...Receive Your Free Market Snapshot Report...
          The Latest Technology To Help In Your Search For Your New Home

Short of helping you buy or sell a property, the best service I can provide, especially in today’s shifting economic climate, is a
monthly snapshot on your investment!

What are home values in your neighbourhood?

What’s happening to home values in your neighbourhood?

What have your neighbour’s homes sold for lately?

   
I have a new service to offer and I have set you up to receive a Market Snapshot that will arrive every 4 weeks via email.  If you
want, I can follow up with a phone call to explain the details of the Snapshot but in advance I want to point out the following.  The
map has several options; road, aerial and bird’s eye views!  Check the bird’s eye view and see your backyard or your
neighbor’s backyard!  Initially, you will see 10 listings identified by green (Active Listings) or red flags (Homes that have Sold).  
Hover your mouse over any of the listings and a pop up box with a picture of the home will appear.  Within the pop up is a link;
click to view details.

This will give you detailed information on that particular home such as the asking price, selling price, days on market, property
features and comments!

Underneath the map is a list of up to 100 active and sold listings,.  By clicking any of the homes on the list, you will notice that the
map expands beyond the initial 10 listings for a broader visual list of inventory.  Above the graphs on the right is a drop down list
that allows you to see inventory based on the last three months which is the default, the last thirty days or the last week!  Below
the drop down list are several statistical graphs showing; asking and sold prices, asking vs. sold prices, time on market, and
inventory stats.

The Snapshot shows homes that are similar in number of bedrooms and bathrooms to yours so not every home for sale or sold
will appear.   If for some reason a home of interest is not found, please utilize any of the contact me options found in the
Snapshot and I will be more than happy to get you the information!

As mentioned I will follow up to discuss further but wanted to provide some explanation in advance of my call, that said, please do
not hesitate to call me as well!

REBGV September Stats

Buyer demand remains strong while home listings increase

Greater Vancouver home sales remained strong last month, with the second highest number of residential sales ever recorded for the month of September.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver totalled 3,559 in September 2009, an increase of 3.4 per cent from the 3,441 sales recorded in August 2009, and an increase of 124.5 per cent compared to September 2008 when 1,585 sales were recorded.

"As homes sales in Greater Vancouver continued at an elevated pace in September it's encouraging to see that more homes were listed on the MLS® in the month than any other so far this year," Scott Russell, REBGV president said.

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 5,764 in September 2009. This represents a 6.2 per cent decline compared to September 2008 when 6,142 new units were listed, but a 26.8 per cent increase compared to August 2009 when 4,544 properties were listed on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Greater Vancouver.

"During this period of renewed demand in our marketplace, home values have gradually recovered from the declines that occurred in 2008," said Russell.

Since the beginning of the year, the MLSLink® Housing Price Index (HPI) benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver has increased 13 per cent to $547,092 from $484,211, while home prices compared to Septembers 2008 levels are up 1.6 per cent.
