Pier Park Gains RecognitionSOURCE: Original Article Pier Park gets international recognition
New Westminster's Pier Park just missed making the short list of top six completed urban regeneration projects in the World Architecture News Awards.

Lower Mainland Stats ArticleMetro's hot property zones giving up gains: expertThe MLS Home Price Index is a relative measure of residential real estate price movements in the Greater Vancouver zone, which excludes Surrey, North Delta and White Rock.

Sagging demand from home buyers is putting downward pressure on Lower Mainland real estate prices, but mainly in areas where prices had shot up faster than the rest of the region.
September home sales in Metro Vancouver were down eight per cent from August and have plunged 32.5 per cent from a year ago, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).

A new summer series, Concerts on the Quay, is being launched by the Hyack... Great Globe and Mail Article regarding New Westminster Real EstateLINK: The Lower Mainland has a new neighbourhood darling
At the New Westminster Quay Market, a photographic silk-screened montage by artist Ed Pien depicts idyllic scenes from the banks of the adjacent Fraser River. Billowing elegantly over the top of an escalator, the work is called New Paradise.
While that may be an ambitious moniker for the city of 66,000 at the geographic centre of the Lower Mainland, it is certainly becoming the region’s new real estate darling.
Affordability is a huge factor, as homes here are often $200 less per square foot than in Vancouver, and $100 less per square foot than in Burnaby – where Metrotown development has accelerated residential real estate prices. And at only 15 square kilometres, with an intact, largely Edwardian... Duplex Price ReductionWell today I was surfing through listing updates and noticed this duplex was lowered 50k to 635k. Looks like each side is about a 1500 sq. ft. 3 bedroom with a rec room in the basement. It's on a busy street and needs some renovations, but I believe with 20% down this property could possibly cover (depending on final sale price).
I am thinking about 1500$ per side per month and and have the renters pay the utilities. This would make 3000$ a month which could cover $500k in mortgage at today's rates plus roughly the property tax and insurance.
All that said I've not been inside the property yet and am not sure what level of work it requires, but it is a legal duplex on over 9000 sq ft. of RT-1 zoned land. You don't usually see these so cheap. The location is likely to blame,... Stats Release by Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.Spring activity remains balanced in the Greater Vancouver housing marketMonday, June 4, 2012 VANCOUVER, BC - The number of properties listed for sale continued to increase in the Greater Vancouver housing market in May. The number of sales decreased year over year, but remained relatively constant compared to recent months.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver reached 2,853 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in May 2012. This represents a 15.5 per cent decline compared to the 3,377 sales recorded in May 2011.
May sales were the lowest total for the month in the region since 2001 and 21.1 per cent below the 10-year May sales average of 3,617. However,... Mortgage Rate Update: Tues. May 29th 2012Mortgage rates are holding fairly steady these days and are still quite affordable. It's looking like the best rate you can find on a 5 year fixed mortgage is around 3.19% which would put a monthly payment at $484.15 per $100,000.00 of lending on a 25 year mortgage amortization.
For Example, if you bought a condo for $300,000.00 and put 20% down (60k) the mortgage would be roughly $240,000.00 and the monthly payment would be 2.4 x $484.15 equalling $1161.96 per month.
I personally expect these to slowly creep up as the year progresses due to evidence of economic growth. LINK: http://listserv.realtorlink.ca/read/archive?id=22195&e=michaelsheldrake%40remax.net&x=d3baeb7f
