Hi everyone!

The Metro Vancouver market continues at a steady, balanced pace.  March & May are  the busiest months for sales activity, so if you're thinking of selling, the time to get ready is now!

 

You know I like to add-in something seasonal each month. For this edition, I found a great blog with a day by day view of things to do www.boredinvancouver.com. Mark it a favourite! 

Real Estate Matters

Closing Thoughts

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 it's just homework now in order to plan for the future.  If you or someone you know could use my assistance, give me a shout - I'm happy to help out!  

 

Spring arrives on March 20; it's time to plan which garden club and plant sales to attend!

 

Cheers, Kathy
