“I pulled out my calculator and figured out how much a mortgage would cost,: recalls Mr. Lamb. “The taxes were on the flyer and I figured these guys were making crazy money. The net cash flow after all costs, with a 25% downpayment, was something to the tune of $6,000 a year, and that was just free cash flow.” Want to read more in depth on this article?

OTTAWA – Canada’s housing market is set to undergo a “modest” correction, with resale activity poised to drop 15.2 per cent and average prices likely to fall 10.2 per cent over the next two calendar years, according to a report released by TD Economics Wednesday.

For the past 250 days it has sat looking at the distant mountains. Its gleaming hardwood floors never walked on, save by realtors during showings. Its stone countertops never feeling the press of a tomato’s firm roundness. Its glass and slate patios disturbingly empty. Its beams and flourishes so far uncoveted by a perfectionist owner.
Unlived in, unloved, this west coast masterpiece has sat since the day construction finished almost a year ago, in mute testimony to what happens when a housing market goes south. It’s now back on the market, 2,500 square feet luxury on 16,000 feet of landscaped perfection, for $50,000 less than before. If it were in Vancouver, it would sell for 3.5$. In pretigious Nanoose Bay, on Vancouver Island, it’s now $838,000. Want to read more in depth on this article? Just click the link below.
