I was sitting around yesterday and was going through some of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Stats for the month of October and I suddenly realized that I don't think I have ever posted the stats or drawn attention to some of the high lights of the month in Real Estate.
I had lost sight that content is still king and there are lots of you out there that are interested in the information, so I thought I would bring the Fraser Valley Real Estate stats to you, I will do my best to high light some of the key notes, as well as attach a link for you to see the full stats package for the month.
All comparisons unless stated other wise are comparing to the same month (October) of last year to this year. Let's begin are quick and effective summary of the Fraser Valley Real Estate stats.
A noticeable change in sales activity has occurred to the tune of a 122% increase, which in anyone's book is staggering, and with a decrease in inventory by 25% we can already see signs of a move to a balanced market place. In other words everybody wins if you can believe that, although a balanced market typically doesn't last terribly long this is pointing at some level of stability before it either starts to climb again or make a correction. But with inventory on the decrease all signs seems to be pointing upward. With a rebound in price by about 4.7% we are back on the rise, even though it is quite slow and steady.
We still haven't recovered the totally amount of adjustment yet but it is only a matter of time before we rise back to where we where.
If you would like to see the full Fraser Valley Real Estate stats package you can get them free by clicking on Fraser Valley Real Estate Stats.
I hope this has helped to summarize a bit of what is in the stats package and help you get some idea as to what is happening in the Fraser Valley Real Estate market place these days.
The market is currently in a balanced market which means everyone wins, historically we know these markets don't last long it will continue to swing right through and keep progressing on it's path. With inventory dropping and sales increasing this means we starting to move in a direction of some recovery.
For more information or a more detailed explanation of what all this information means please contact me. I would love to hear your comments.
Cheers!

I am finally back in the land of written blogs, I have been work on video blog things for the last few months and have taken a bit of a break from writing. Not that my writing was ever any good but hopefully there was some information gleaned or a fun story read here at my blog.
Anyway I just wanted to let you all know that hopefully I will be back on here on a more regular basis again. If you are curious as to what I was working you can always go check out askchris.ca to seem my Real Estate Q & A via video, feel free to leave your comments and suggestions.
Our local market place here in the lower mainland and the greater Vancouver area has picked up substantially, so much so we have had some of the best months ever. Prices are still flat, activity increased and inventory slowly going down.
Did we really hit the bottom or was it just one of those false bottoms like they theorize about? We will just have to wait and see.
Enjoy the sun and the rest of the summer it is quickly coming to a close, enjoy and if there is any real estate question you need answered feel free to go check out askchris.ca
Cheers!
That's right Abbotsford is going to be hosting the pro water ski tour again this year presented by Malibu Boats. It has been at least 8 years since the last time it has come to town and since most people that are involved in this sport want to see it grow, what better way to do that than by bringing in some professionals and making a weekend event out of it.
So that's what is going to happen. Sept 18-19, 2009 at Albert Dyck park near the airport we can expect to see the likes of Chris Parrish, Jamie Beauchesne, Will Asher, Seth Stisher, Karin Nowland, Regina Jaquess, and the list goes on, so com prepared to see some great skiing, have a lot of fun, and probably get a chance to meet and greet a lot of these great pro's that we only ever see on TV or the internet.
Come on out and support this great sport, look forward to seeing you all there, I should have my video camera there to do some vblog and such so it should be good.
Cheers!
This debate will never end and usually gets some what heated. I know how the US feels about this, I grew up there and I think a lot of how I feel about this subject matter has to do with the up bring I had in the US.
Canada abolished the Death Penalty July 14, 1976 not saying weather this was a good or bad thing. What I want to know is what you think about it.
There are arguments on both sides of the debate like acting as a deterrent, weather or not they should be publicly viewable, among other things.
There are even things written about cost effectiveness of Capital Punishment vs. Life in prison without parole.
We in Canada don't seem to ever let people serve out there life sentences, we are so happy to give them parole and let them re-offend.
The "faint hope" Clause is currently under review and looking like it will be removed finally making it much tougher for people convicted of 1st degree murder to get parole hearings and parole.
There is definitely a time and place and obviously you need to read about what criminal activities you would need to commit to get the death penalty or Life without parole before you start getting all humanitarian on us.
I am at a point where I am getting sick and tired of all the killing in our area especially when you hear about innocent people getting killed just because there job happened to take them where illegal activity was taking place next door. We have gone soft in Canada, I think with the increase in drug trade and other criminal activity we need to rise up, because if we keep bending over, it will just keep happening.
It's time for Canada to rise up and make people that can't live with in the laws of our land to pay for what they have done. So far victims and the familys have been crapped on by Canada's Criminal Code.
I am just saying, maybe it's time for a change. What do you think?
Cheers!
