April 2022 Newsletter

The “Cooling Off Period” is moving ahead.
I still do not see how this will help our real estate market. More open bidding? That needs to be looked at. The market is leveling off. Maybe a little late.
Our featured listing is 406 5438 198 Street. Located in the Nicomekl neighbourhood, just around the corner to city convenience and yet close to walking trails on the Nicomekl river.
Here is our recorded Facebook live session for April market statistics. This is always a lot of fun. Thank you Jeanette for suggesting this.
Our Langley Market Report is showing detached home prices are up 38.2% from last year with listings up by 12.4% and sales volume down by 21.5% year over year. The same could be said for Condos and Townhomes in the Langley area. It is still very much a Seller’s market out there.
The Fort Langley Farmer’s Market is opening up. Every Saturday from 9:00 to 3: 00pm. Organic veggies to varietal BC wines and spirits.
Rita Cousins Mortgage Broker discusses the differences between a mortgage broker and dealing directly with the bank. Who do you want on your side.
Irina Bartnik Notary Public, goes into detail on the Federal budget and their new housing policies.
Will the increase in interest rates deflate the real estate market? Maybe that with other pressures we could see a
leveling off.
Well, that’s it for this month. This past weekend was pretty busy. If you are thinking of making a move, now is the time. Let’s talk.
Thanks for dropping by, have a great day and I look forward to meeting with you soon.

A new global analysis suggests Canada’s major metros are among the hardest places on earth for young people to buy their first home, with Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal ranking near the bottom of a 70-city affordability index. The study, from UAE-based developer Bloom Holding, estimates the typical first-time buyer in Vancouver enters the market at age 46, while those in Toronto and Montreal reach homeownership at around 40 and 39, respectively. 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
