IMPORTANT NEWS FOR TENANTS AND LANDLORDS: 2020 Rent Increases Rent Increase Notices served in December 2019 would have had an effective date of April 1, 2020. In late March there was a Ministerial Order which delayed these increases and any future increases to the end of the Provincial State of Emergency. Through a change to the Residential Tenancy Regulations, this new effective date was changed from the end of State of Emergency to December 1, 2020.... This change means that any rent increase served and received between December 2019 and August 2020 will be effective December 1, 2020.

When you just love beer... (Serious kudos on the uniformity though!)

We have been hard at work in making sure that our guests will be safe when they visit our vacation properties. Click through for a summary of the current COVID-19 pandemic situation in British Columbia and what steps we are taking to keep you safe.

Given the prevailing circumstances with the COVID19 pandemic, perhaps a "staycation" is the only option and a visit to Rossland is the answer? All our vacation rental properties are meticulously cleaned and then sanitized for your protection.

We sure appreciated all the signage on Hwy 3B that was put up for the momma and baby bears this year but we thought we could use our sign to help with something a little more permanent. Slow down and protect all of the gorgeous wildlife that crosses our busy highway daily. #rossland #communitylove #localbusiness #wildlifeprotection

We support this movement!

The Kootenay Association of REALTORS (KAR) reports that a total of 154 residential unit sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in May 2020, a fall of 54.8 per cent from May 2019. The average MLS residential price in the region was $372,133, a 4.3 per cent rise from $356,825 recorded in May last year. Total sales dollar volume in May was $57.3 million, a 52.9 per cent fall over 2019, which stood at $121.6 million. The Kootenay region has seen a sharp ri...se in the number of units sold in May as compared to April of this year. This can be attributed to the reopening of businesses in the region. We predict sales figures in the Kootenays to improve over summer. The jump in sales last month is a good start, after we had a dull April due to the coronavirus pandemic. It looks like the market has been very receptive to the government’s measures to bring businesses back on track, said KAR President Tyler Hancock. Although we see improved numbers in May, it is difficult to anticipate the pace at which this trend will continue. Even if the uptake improves like it has done last month, it is believed that sales will be below seasonal levels throughout this year. We will have to wait and watch, says Hancock. According to real estate stakeholders in the region, sales by the end of 2020 will be close to what was achieved last year. This will depend on the market’s adoption of high-tech means to do business and the support of the government. Most of the areas in the Kootenay region recorded better numbers toward the end of May, close to the long weekend. If we keep taking measured steps to opening business operations, the impact of Covid-19 on the Kootenay real estate market may be minimized, added Hancock. Year-to-date, Kootenay MLS residential sales dollar volume fell by 21.3 per cent to $283.3 million, compared with the same period in 2019. YTD Residential unit sales have lowered by 22.8 per cent to 823 units, while the average MLS residential price (YTD) was up 1.9 per cent to $344,241.
