The Joy of Moving House!

Yes, myself and my partner moved house recently and have relocated to a great apartment down town. 

At the best of times, moving is very demanding physically and mentally and when good things happen along the way it helps to make it so much more pleasant. 

We used Raincity Moving to get most of our stuff packed up and relocated. The owner, Richard Kovacs is a great guy. Very honest, reliable, respectful and  a friendly lively person who offers a very professional service along with his great team of people he hires. I have used Raincity Moving a few times now and I have never been let down. 

He will also drop off high quality large packing crates in advance if needed and can even store your possessions overnight in the moving truck located at a very secure location if your closing and possession dates don't fall on the same day. I would highly recommend this English man in Vancouver. It is not overpriced and a very professional friendly service! The number is 778 316 1712 and the webpage can be accessed from this link at www.raincitymoving.com

The other great experience was going to Mr. Mattress to get a new mattress for our beautiful new bed. I have known about this place for a while but this was the first time we had a reason to go. Richard the owner is great. From the moment we entered we got fantastic service without being pressured. This East Van business has been around since 1964.

They sell great double sided mattresses made locally and are wonderful quality at a great price, a lot less than the major competitors and more bang for your buck in quality and comfort. Richard was very knowledgeable, gave us amazing information, didn't rush the experience and made sure we bought the product that was right for us. He also has loads of positive energy and is very welcoming to the diversity of people that come through his door.

The delivery was also a great friendly professional service. They also have a quality selection of mattress accessories and pillows. I would highly recommend Richard and Mr. Mattress for your new bed purchase as you won't be disappointed and it is soooooooo comfortable!!! We will definitely be going back. The number is 604 255 2113 and the website link with address details can be accessed here at www.mrmattress.ca

Stay Tuned for more feedback!

Greater Vancouver July 2012 Sales to Active Listings Ratios

Hello again

As promised here is a graphical breakdown of the July 2012 Greater Vancouver Property Markets. They include Richmond, Burnaby and New Westminster, highlighting the Sales to Active Listing Ratios. Most areas have seen a slow down this year and it will be interesting to see what happens when the fall markets return in September. 




All the data strongly supports a buyer's market. As a seller you need to be aware of this and price your property sharply. Buyers have a great opportunity to take advantage of this current market and the fantastic mortgage deals to be had. 

If you have any questions feel free to get in touch. Let's get together and make this happen!

Cheers
