Andy Schildhorn • December 14, 2020
Hello and Welcome to our December Newsletter.
There is a new land registry in town. The Land Owner Transparency Registry.
Corporations, Trustees and Partnerships must disclosure who are the interest holders. No more hiding behind a corporate name.
Our Featured Listing this month is 213 8880 202 St. The Residences. Here we have quality senior living with concierge service. This home features an oversize balcony overlooking private gardens.
Our Langley Market Report is showing almost every indicator up except for detached listings. Inventory is still down meaning prices could continue upwards.
The Langley Christmas Bureau supports family's in need and now there are many who are. This is money well spent. Having delivered to a family and see sad eyes lit up can be a very special moment. Please support the Langley Christmas Bureau.
Dr Alister Frayne practiced in the Fort Langley area for many years and will be missed by many in our community. Thank you for a great testimonial, it is well appreciated.
Rita Cousins, Mortgage Broker, tells us how important it is to be per-approved for your financing. In today’s market with all the new rules do not set yourself up for a very disappointed surprised.
Irina Bartnik, Notary Public, discusses how technology and Wills are coming together. We are slowly moving out of the paper age.
In the news, the Federal Government is planning a national foreign buyers tax in a bid to lower housing prices. Hmm how is that working out for BC?
As the year draws to a close and we close the book on 2020 now is the time to start thinking of our goals for 2021. If one of those goals involves Real Estate, lets talk and formulate a plan.
From my family to your family we wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!

π‘ Fraser Valley home prices back to pandemic-era levels under the weight of economic headwinds and sustained inventory π SURREY, BC – Home prices in the Fraser Valley fell for the tenth consecutive month in January, pushing the Benchmark price below $900,000 for the first time since spring 2021. The Benchmark price for a typical home in the Fraser Valley dropped one per cent in January to $897,200, down 6.9 per cent year-over-year. The continued softening of prices wasn’t enough to get buyers off the sidelines, as the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 619 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in January, a 33 per cent decrease from December, and 24 per cent below sales from the same month last year. New listings increased 128 per cent in January to 3,078, reflecting the typical seasonal patterns; however, activity remained 10 per cent below last year’s levels.
