We were surprised by the flower buds on our Jasmine plant in our office after working from home for the pass two weeks. We had a great first team meeting this morning, and we are ready and excited for 2021! Happy first day back to school and work for everyone!

Go #MacdonaldMovember team!

Love starting a new year by viewing a really cute renovated house with a cozy gas fireplace, especially on a rainy day like today. This home has some clever and creative built-ins. Happy 2021 everyone! Cécile Yuen #happynewyear2021 #happynewyear #vancouverrrealestate #vancouverrealtor #macdonaldrealty

Lest We Forget Allyson Brooke Cécile Yuen Jenny Warkentin Stephanson #remembranceday #remembranceday2020 #lestweforget

Goodbye 2020. Welcome 2021! It's safe to say that everyone is happy that 2020 is finally over and looking forward to a brighter 2021. 2020 was definitely a memorable year! Throughout this time of Covid, we have learned to cherish the simple things in life: freedom to visit our family and friends in our homes, enjoying a relaxing restaurant meal inside, going to public places without wearing a mask, working with our colleagues "in person", and following through on travel plans...!! For our children, we've definitely learned to appreciate full days at school, playdates, sleepovers, sports, graduation ceremonies and birthday parties! As we move forward into 2021 we look to a future full of promise and a return to "normal" ... whatever that means for you. May all your dreams come true. We wish you and everyone you love, good health and a happy 2021! To a better year!

Open Houses on hold! We are happy The Real Estate Council and BCREA have responded and are making changes for the public's safety due to the increased number of Covid cases in BC. If you are in the market looking for a property and haven't contacted your realtor yet, it is definitely time to do so now! Have your realtor help with your search, from day 1. Don't wait until you are ready to write an offer to call your realtor!...

Balance Group wishes you a safe and happy Halloween + reminds you to change your clocks . School has been a little bit different this year for sure. We are glad that most students enjoyed dressing up for school yesterday. Despite trick-or-treating being different (or will not happen for some) this Halloween, a lot of families are being creative in adding some fun in this unusual or challenging time: pumpkin carving with some new Covid inspired designs, chocolate hunting i...n the house/yard and trick-or-treat candy shoot! We hope everyone practices social distancing and stays safe this Halloween. Do you know that this year we will have an extra long Halloween? Daylight savings is November 1st at 2am - remember to turn your clocks back one hour at 2am on Sunday November 1st (or before going to bed on Halloween night). #happyhelloween #happyhelloween2020 #macdonaldrealty #daylightsavings

Happy Possession Day x2! We have the best clients - our sellers wrote a card for the buyers! Congrats to both our Clients! Allyson Brooke Cécile Yuen Jenny Warkentin Stephanson

Bank of Canada Interest Rate Announcement - October 28, 2020 The Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 0.25 per cent this morning, a level it considers its effective lower bound. The Bank is also continuing its quantitative easing (QE) program, though re-calibrated to target longer-term bonds and slightly scaled back from purchasing $5 billion per week in Government of Canada bonds to $4 billion per week. The Bank also reiterated forward guidance on future interests move...s, committing to holding the policy rate at 0.25 per cent until slack in the economy is absorbed and inflation is sustainably trending at 2 per cent. In the statement accompanying the decision, the Bank noted that the Canadian economy is recovering, though at a highly uneven rate, with the pandemic particularly affecting low-income workers. Overall, the Bank expects a decline in Canadian real GDP of 5.5 per cent this year, before growing 4 per cent next year. Inflation is expected to remain below its 2 per cent target through 2022. With the Bank committing to holding its policy rate at 0.25 per cent until slack in the economy is absorbed, and continuing its quantitative easing program of asset purchases, Canadian mortgage rates should remain at current historical lows for quite some time. Given the Bank's forward guidance on interest rates and its projection for inflation, those low rates are anticipated to remain in place until 2023, providing a significant boost to an already strong BC housing market.
