| Helping Others - Please Read! |
I know there's many requests to help those in need at this time of year - please consider this one! The annual REALTORS CareŽ Blanket Drive will run from Nov 18-25 across the Lower Mainland. For more info visit the Facebook page. This link lists drop-off locations, or contact me and I'll pick up your items. Think of it as 'winter-cleaning' your closets for gently-used items (coats, blankets, etc) to keep someone warm and dry.

Check out what the market's doing in your area - overall the market is balanced, but is that the case in your neighbourhood?
The following reports help you to "be in the know" about the local real estate market (sales, listings, days on market) in areas and neighbourhoods that matter to you.

In many areas prices are slightly lower year over year, but there a few strong areas.
To better understand house price trends, check out the statistics from the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley real estate boards. They report on Home Price Index changes by city & property type (similar to the CPI). You can also find copies of these reports on my website on the tab How's the Market?

I always have time to talk to people about real estate: recent trends, what a property might be worth, help locate potential properties to buy. Even if its just homework now, in order to plan for the future. If you know someone who could use my assistance, please pass me their contact info - I'm happy to help out!
Stay warm, the weather's getting a bit nippier these days. Makes me want to plan a tropical holiday...
Cheers, Kathy
