Have you heard of the MLS HPI (Home Price Index)? It's a great tool that measures house price trends in the Greater Vancouver area and other major markets in Canada. 

Developed by 5 of Canada's largest real estat boards (Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal), it measures the change in price of housing features.

Other HPI facts:

- It measures pure price changee (inflation or deflation)

- It measures the price of a 'typical' property

- It uses lot size, age, number of rooms, etc to provide accurate information

- Simply enter the area you are interested in, the type of property (residential, detached, etc), and date

to determine the HPI for the property type in the area you are interested in

If you are trying to figure out what you can afford in the areas you love, or want to know what your home is worth, get in touch and I'll be happy to answer your questions!

Vancouver tower makes enemies before it’s built; some complain units offered for sale to buyers in Asia first

Information derived from article by Sam Cooper, The Province

Vancouver House, the 52- storey, $500 milion dollar project slated to be complete in 2018 along the north side of the Granville Street Bridge is garnering a lot of attention- in more ways than one.

Recently controversy has arisen about the strong initial sales push in China and Singapore ahead of units being available for sale to local residents. However, despite this, development spokeswoman Jill Killeen states that "more than 50 percent of buyers will come from the Vancouver marketplace". In addition, local residents are not too keen about the style of the building (see image, above). To learn more about the Vancouver House project, click here to view the original article.

What do you think about the architecture of this building?

Do you think it is a good idea to open sales for a local building to an international market before it is available to loacls??
