Vancouver Real Estate - Leaky condo loan program has been scrapped
The provincial government announced on July 31st, 2009 that it was ending the loan program of the Homeowner Protection Office.
The loan program was initially set up by the NDP government in 1998. At the time, many advocates were calling on the government to pay outright for renovations required by the leaky condo mess. The loan program was intended to last 10 years and have a $250 million budget to refurbish condos built prior to 1999 (when the building code was changed to require rainscreening). Instead, it lasted until 2009 and loaned out $670 million.
The loan program had funding issues that resulted from the decline of the BC real estate market in the last year. Funding for the program came from a levy placed on new construction by the provincial government. With the decline in the market there was a fall in new housing starts that dried up the funding source.
When announcing the end of the program, Colin Hansen claimed that there is no longer a need for the loan program. I strongly disagree. As a Vancouver realtor I know of many buildings in this city that were built before 1999 that have yet to be fixed. Where will funding come from for the financially strapped owners of these buildings when the time comes?
In addition, there are also a number of buildings built under the new building code that have building envelope issues. Rainscreening, or concrete construction, are not guarantees of sound construction. The provincial government needs to continue this loan program in order to maintain confidence in the quality of our construction industry and our real estate market.
Interestingly, while the government is going to stop funding the program they will continue to collect the $750 levy on new housing starts (used as the funding source for the program).

Kitsilano Real Estate Market Heats Up
Since The Bank of Canada dropped their lending rate a quarter point, you can now get a mortgage in Vancouver, BC for as low as 2.75% (prime plus .5%).
How has this affected people's decisions to buy?
Well, to put it in perspective, 2 year ago a $500,000 mortgage at 5% with a 25 year amortization would have cost a homeowner $2,923 a month.
Now, with since prices have dropped an average of 15%, a $425,000 mortgage at 2.75% with a 25 year amortization will cost a homeowner $1,960 a month.
This is a $1,000 a month savings compared to two years ago!
The word is that the prime rate will remain steady through 2010. Fixed mortgage rates will change with the bond market but the variable mortgage rates which are tied to the Prime Rate offered by a bank and more affected by the Bank of Canada's rate will likely remain unchanged.
Because of these savings we're seeing a very hot spring market with many buyers out there searching for their first home. In the Kitsilano Real Estate Market, well priced condos are selling for above asking price with multiple offers in less than a week.
Entry level two bedroom townhomes in Kitsilano and entry level one bedroom condos in Kitsilano seem to be the hottest properties on the market this spring.

Parks in Kitsilano
Kitsilano is home to 16 parks scattered throughout the area and next to downtown has the most parks in City.
Do you know who Almond Park was named after? Named for Alderman Henry Elston Almond, Almond Park exudes a feeling of tranquility. The park offers a fantastic display of flowering shrubs and magnificent old trees. An upper pathway winds through a shady grove, leading to the popular playground area. It opened in 1928.
And the beach which was originally known as Greer's Beach, named for the pioneer who unsuccessfully challenged the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) take over of his homestead here in the 1890s. Later, private citizens raised the money to purchase the beach front land back from the CPR while the Park Board leased additional lots to create this popular park. This is now the very popular
Kits Beach.
Kitsilano Pool, Vancouver's largest draw and fill salt water pool was first opened at the waterss edge in 1936 and became an instant success. It was replaced in 1979 by an ocean side tank (about 150 meters at its outer most edge) which sports salt water and is heated. This is the park where old Engine #374, that in 1886 pulled the first transcontinental CPR train into Vancouver, resided for many decades on a piece of track on an old CPR right of way. The Engine was lovingly restored by train buffs in time for EXPO '86. The train now resides in a plexi glass pavilion adjacent to the Roundhouse Community Centre.
The other parks in Kitsilano are - Almond Park, Arbutus Greenway Park, Connaught, Delamont, Hadden, Kits Beach, Margaret Pigott, McBride, Pt. Grey @ Stephens, Pt. Grey @ Stephens, Pt. Grey @ Trutch, Rosemary Brown, Seaforth Peace, Tatlow, Vanier and Volunteer.

Vancouver Homebuyers reap the rewards of Patience
It's a buyer's market right now and first-time homebuyers who resisted the urge to take the plunge and purchase a condo in the Vancouver real estate market when it was hot are now finding that good things come to those who wait.
Softening prices, a larger number of condos and homes to choose from and extremely low interest rates are helping to make home buying more affordable and less stressful for those deciding to purchase their first home in Vancouver.
Many buyers had been watching the market but held back in purchasing because of the soaring prices and lack of affordability.
Now that prices have dropped 15-20%, homes and condos in the Vancouver real estate market are now selling at 2006 prices.
In Kitsilano, you can now purchase a one bedroom condo for between $280,000 to $320,000. These same condo's were selling in the mid to high $300,00 range last year. Downtown Vancouver condos are selling in the low $300,000 mark where the same condo a year ago was selling for approximately $400,000. This has allowed many people who were renting to get in the market.

Kitsilano
Kitsilano, better known as
Kits, is an energetic and active community that sits between English Bay to the North & 16th Ave. to the south and between Burrard St. (East) & Alma St. (West). This one time hippy community with wide stretching beaches and glorious views of the mountains, along with its close proximity to the downtown core and Granville Island, have made Kits one of the most sought after communities in which to live. The majority of housing in Kits consists of low rise apartment buildings and duplexes, although pockets of houses do exist all over the community. Although the housing and rental prices are some of Vancouver's highest, young families and students dominate the population, making Kits an energetic and active community in which to live.
Kitsilano isn't just a residential community; Broadway and 4th Ave. offer two very different shopping alternatives. Broadway is home to Vancouver's Greek Town and has many cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores. 4th Ave. is a trendier shopping area, with boutiques, organic markets, day spas, and yoga studios. Along with Kits and Jericho Beach there are also many parks in the area, the most famous being Vanier park, which houses the Vancouver Planetarium and the Maritime Museum. Vanier Park is also home to annual events such as the Children's Festival and Bard on the Beach. Other annual events in Kitsilano are Greek Fest, held every June, and the Vancouver Folk Music Festival which is held in Jericho Park. Kitsilano is definitely one of Vancouver's more exciting and vibrant communities, with events and activities to partake in all year round.

2028 WEST 3RD AVE, UNIT 101
ASKING PRICE: $399,900
SELLING PRICE: $410,000
PREVIOUS SELLING PRICE: $330,000 (2006); $112,500 (2001)
TAXES: $1,265 (2007)
DAYS ON MARKET: 12
LISTING AGENT: Peter Raab, Royal LePage Westside
Some homes will always sell regardless of the market, says agent Peter Raab, and that includes this 746 sq. ft. town home.
"I sold this home for $10,000 above the asking price in 12 days," he says.
"Although the market in Vancouver is cooling off slightly, one bedroom condo/town homes in
Kits are still selling."
The home meets Mr. Raab's entire criterion for a good purchase.
"My motto for purchasing property is: Location, solid building and view," he says. "Not only is this town home in
Kits but, it is north of 4th which is one of the most desirable areas in Vancouver. The building was recently rain-screened and the upstairs has a view over the city and the North Shore Mountains."
The two-level town home has a deck off of the living room and a ground floor garden patio off of the bedroom for some private outdoor living space.
The suite has also been renovated with updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, a new tile floor in the kitchen and a wood burning fireplace. The previous owners also added baseboards and fresh paint.
The real attraction, of course, is the location, says Mr. Raab. This home is close to shopping on 4th Avenue,
Kits Beach, Granville Island and downtown.
"A home like this will always be in demand," he says
