With the New Year mail, comes our property assessments. Did you know this is the first time in 20 years these values have gone down? Read more in the article below.

Rita Cousins, mortgage broker, talks about how to pay for home renovations through one of three ways. Irina Bartnik, Notary Public, give us some good advice on the perils of DIY Wills.

Our Langley Infographic shows us, December was a very good month. Prices are holding steady with detached sales volume up by almost 20%, which leads us into our news article. The sales volume of Greater Vancouver was up 88% year over year, meaning we should be looking at a very strong Spring market due to pent up demand and not enough inventory.

This month’s feature listing is a very comfortable family Townhome in Walnut Grove. Close to schools and shopping. It’s a great buy.

New Year Resolutions!!! Well we have 10 for you to keep your home running smoothly for the next year. 

With the New Year comes new ideas, new plans and new ways of doing things. Perhaps a new home is part of this newness. Now is the time to start making a plan. A strategy is needed to make the most of your new ideas. I am always available to discuss this further. The sooner the better.

In closing I want to say Happy New Year, thanks for dropping by and look forward to hearing from you soon.
