SELCTION BROADENS AND DEMAND EASES TO KICK OFF 2012 IN THE GREATER VANCOUVER HOUSING MARKET
Vancouver, BC – Greater Vancouver home sellers were more active than buyers in January and overall home prices, according to the new MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI), continued to experience more stability and less fluctuation compared to the beginning of 2011.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver reached 1,577 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in January 2012. This represents a 4.9% decrease compared to the 1,658 sales recorded in December 2011, a decrease of 13.3% compared to the 1,819 sales in January 2011 and an 18% decline from the 1,923 home sales in January 2010.
January sales in Greater Vancouver were the second lowest January total in the region since 2002, though only 146 sales below the 10-year average.

DECICE WHEN TO SELL
In real estate, timing can influence your home’s selling price. Factors like how quickly you need to sell, whether it’s a buyers or sellers market and seasonality all play a role in your home’s final selling price.
FIND A REALTOR® WHOS IS RIGHT FOR YOU
The Realtor®who helped you buy your home is a good place to start. They already know your home and they know you, so you’ll be saving time right from the start. Or look for names on “For Sale” signs in your neighbourhood or ask your friends and family. Make sure to interview two or three candidates and choose the one you like best.
SIGN THE LISTING AGREEMENT
This authorizes your REALTOR® and their brokerage to market and sell your home. It will define the legal relationship between you and the real estate brokerage and also set a time limit for your REALTOR® to sell your home.
AN ARCHITECTURAL EVOLUTION
Central is an architectural icon in a sea of sameness, where high design meets high value in Southeast False Creek. Nothing else looks or feels like this. Not now. Not ever. Central is a complete reinvention of the residential tower, where high design is both accessible and exceptional. The original Skybridge feature joins commercial to residential, rooted in place by a forest of stylized columns that ground and define the building. Structure becomes sculpture.
Central truly is a one-of-a-kind value that may never be seen again in Vancouver: a rare blend of distinctive architecture, radiant views and a central location in one of the city’s last up and coming waterfront communities. Central puts you close to everything, and especially close to Vancouver’s celebrated waterfront. Here, you are just steps away from the water’s edge – and the countless opportunities that come with it.
“So many of the new downtown towers have been built in a very short time, and so they have become a sea of sameness – with the design of Central, we wanted something that would rise above the too often dull waters of that sea.” – Bruce Haden, Central’s Architect
The project is scheduled for completion in 2014. Available condos start at $356,900 from 540 to 1600 square feet. The project has a total of 304 units and 22 storeys.
A REFRESHING CHANGE OF PLACE. Lido offers stunning condominium residences … it offers much more than simply great real estate. It offers a bold statement about the short and long term strength of the Vancouver market. It signals the continued evolution of an entire neighbourhood. And it gives a new group of Vancouver home buyers the opportunity to experience ownership of a Bosa Properties home.
THREE HARBOUR GREEN - 277 THURLOW STREET - VANCOUVER V6C 0C1
When the first two towers at Harbour Green Place in Coal Harbour debuted, they set a new standard for luxury waterfront living in Vancouver – more spacious, more exclusive, and more luxurious than anything seen in the city to date. Each tower at Harbour Green Place features private, two-and three-car garages, a 25-metre swimming pool, and a virtual golf centre that lets residents practice on the world’s premiere courses at the touch of a button. And it’s host to two Canadian condominium “firsts”: ergonomically designed kitchens by Snaidero of Italy, and a full range of Miele kitchen appliances – from washers and dryers, to convection ovens and warming drawers, to built-in automatic coffee systems that make everything from espressos to lattes.
