Have you thought about building wealth and passive income through real estate? The following are factors that make purchasing a rental property an attractive investment now:

To borrow a metaphor from this month’s Fraser Valley Real Estate Board's Marketing Statistic article. 

Well, the Spring market is bustling. In fact, Spring came early to our real estate market. I have lived through many a busy real estate market since 1988, which even back then was fast and furious, but this current market has beaten every previous market record. For those fortunate enough to remain working, and with the record breaking interest rates, this pandemic has made people spend their spare time house hunting. Perhaps it is the fact that many families have had more time at home that they have decided it is time to look for a new one; a “change of scenery” to accommodate the life style of this past year, that may remain with us after this pandemic.

You may have recently received your 2020 property BC tax assessment in the mail in the start of this new year (2021).  Typically, these assessments reflect the values they determined back in July.  There is a lot of confusion whether assessment values reflect current market values.  Part of my service as a realtor, is to help my clients stay up to date with their home and market conditions.  Should you wish to discuss your recent tax assessments in the mail, please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and call me to discuss. In the meantime, here are some interesting facts about how tax assessments are determined.

In Real Estate terms, 2020 went out with bang. Sales were higher than average in 10 years in the Fraser Valley! Despite the global pandemic, it’s apparent that those who can still transact in Real Estate will. Motivating factors for a move don’t seem to go away for those who are fortunate enough to still have the resources. From my personal point of view, the type of Real Estate consumer really hasn’t changed much from the pre Covid-19 days.
