After almost 7 years in the industry, I have never officially sold a true half duplex outside of a townhouse complex until today. I am glad to have had the opportunity to learn all that I can about them and I now have a new respect for them. As an alternate to a townhome complex or a detached home, I love that new home buyers can still get one for a reasonable price and actually get a decent sized yard. As of today's market, in the Fraser Valley, the price points for many of them still fall under the threshold price for a first time home buyers property transfer tax exemption. What a great alternative for a better investment for long term appreciation, freedom from strata councils and extra fees compared to a condo ot townhome complex. You actually own half interest in the land, which is much more substantial than in a complex and you get a say in how you want to use it. These wil be a future suggestion for all my buyers out there from now on. Of course, you will want to have a good relationship with the other half, but same goes in any home purchasing situation.

I came across this amazing family home today in Langley. Almost 1/4 acre lot in the NICEST part of Langley city, almost Brookswood. Showings start tomorrow. Asking $574,900, 4bed, 3bath, all remodelled. Call me if you are interested 604-783-7653. I wish I could buy it myself. Too good of a deal not to spread the word.
Calling all sellers. I have multiple groups of buyers calling me looking for homes. The market is so active right now that they are selling in 2-3 days. In a lot of cases, homes that expired last year, have been relisting for a higher price and selling. It's a good window of opportunity to get TOP dollar for your home. Call me asap if you are thinking of selling. I may just have the perfect buyer for your home in my back pocket.
I always look forward to this time of the year because I get flooded with phone calls from young families and all sorts of buyers looking to make a move and what a great time to do so. Houses are selling extremely fast which is great for sellers and in addition to that, the mortgage rates have actually come down to where they were 5 years ago. Anyone looking to renew or get preapproved, this is the time! As a buyer looking to compete with all those other buyers out there, having a great realtor can make all the difference. As a buyer looking on your own, you will find it extremely difficult to get a leg up on how fast things are moving and you will need to know how to get your offer in before the competition does. Book an appointment with me so I can help you get started on the right foot. If you need to sell, I can help you get your listing the most attention and create that urgency to maximize on this real estate momentum upward.
