June market update from The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver

Metro Vancouver market stats for March 2019 from The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. "Housing demand today isn’t aligning with our growing economy and low unemployment rates. The market trends we’re seeing are largely policy induced," Ashley Smith, REBGV president said. "For three years, governments at all levels have imposed new taxes and borrowing... requirements on to the housing market. What policymakers are failing to recognize is that demand-side measures don’t eliminate demand, they sideline potential home buyers in the short term. That demand is ultimately satisfied down the line because shelter needs don’t go away. Using public policy to delay local demand in the housing market just feeds disruptive cycles that have been so well-documented in our region."

"The public transit authority launched Transport 2050 earlier this month to provide the public with an opportunity to help mould the creation of its new 30-year regional transportation strategy, which will become the blueprint of the region’s next transit expansion plans beyond the current Mayors’ Plan which includes SkyTrain extensions to UBC and Langley Centre."

#goodtoknow: The Craftsman-style Craftsman homes are widely popular across North America and were first designed by Gustav Stickley. It's believed he was inspired by his travels to Bangala, India, where he was first exposed to bungalow designs. The style combines simple design with handcrafted artistry and is easy to build and maintain. Key features of a Craftsman include covered front porches, wide overhanging eaves, pillars lining the entrance, and fine architectural detai...ling.
