April 2021 Newsletter

Andy Schildhorn • April 21, 2021

Hello and Welcome to our April Newsletter.

Recreational property is now catching the Real Estate Wave. Areas such as Sunshine Coast are seeing 34.6 percent increases year over year.

Our feature home for sale is 8959 Glover Road. Recently price adjusted to $1,449,500. There are some great values here.

Our Langley Infographic is showing pricing up over 24% for detached homes. Condos up 7.7% and town homes up 13.2% over last year.

This month’s Langley Insight is spotlighting Kims’ Angels. Kimberly and her Angels volunteer their time and resources to help those who are less fortunate in our community.

Irene Bartnik, Notary Public, gives some advice on how to navigate the timing of sales in this crazy market.

Rita Cousins, Mortgage Broker, updates us on the possibilities in changes to the Stress Test and what that could mean to buyer’s approval amounts.

Langley  is seeing a real shortage of listings. Here is an article about standing in line waiting to purchase a Townhome at Latimer Heights.

That is it for this month. Sales are up, prices are up. Is it time to take advantage of this market? If downsizing is in your 5 or even 10 year plan, perhaps now is the time to consider it. Feel free to reach out and chat about it. I am always available to give perspectives on where the market is going.

In closing, I just want to say, Thanks for dropping by, Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

The findings echo a broader North American trend. In the United States, the median first-time buyer age has climbed to a record 40, according to the National Association of Realtors — up from 33 just a few years ago — as higher rates and decade-long price gains delay ownership for younger households.  👉 Read the Article Here
