It seems like the whole world has a blog and that everyone has something interesting to say - except me of course. If someone calls me and asks me questions about the Vancouver real estate market, or real estate investing, or particular areas of town, I can go on and on for ages as I really do love talking about this stuff and I'm very passionate about it. But when it comes to writing interesting things to educate others I easily get stumped. Maybe it's a fear of being boring, but I also think it's that I don't want to alarm people with my dramatic ideas of where the market is headed.
In any given market we work with many Buyers and Sellers who ask for advice and the advice is often different depending on what their personal situation is. For example, if you own "investment" property in Vancouver (maybe I'll write a blog post about my ideas on "investments" next time) then I think you should sell it ASAP - or yesterday preferably, but if you have a locked-in pre-approval at 3.79%, just sold your house for big bucks and have 2 dogs that make it difficult to rent, then yes, maybe you should buy right now. There are a lot of listings currently on the market that are not selling, so you could go out and find a great deal! Just know that prices will be moving downwards for the next little while.
In writing this, I've realized that maybe it isn't that difficult to just write about what I talk about every day. Everyone's situation is different and even with our help and guidance, Buyers and Sellers are making their own decisions every day. We're just advisors really. So my dramatic predictions and eager promptings will all be taken in stride at the end of the day and people will hear what they want to hear. And we'll be here to support them in whatever decisions they chose to make.
