Taking a Cab home.

Posted on December 10, 2012 by Bill deMooy, Realtor®

With the holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my family & friends about drinking and driving. As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends. Well three days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a cab home.

Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block but since it was a cab they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident. This was a real surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it….............any suggestions?

Enjoy a safe Christmas season. Keep on smiling.

A Weekend with a Local Assessor

Posted on December 4, 2012 by Bill deMooy, Realtor®

While the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported that

"Over the past six months, the Greater Vancouver housing market has seen a reduction in the number of homes listed for sale, a gradual moderation in home prices and a decrease in property sales compared to historical averages."

“Home sellers appear more inclined to remove their properties from the market today rather than lower prices to sell their properties. On the other hand, buyers appear to be expecting prices to moderate,” Eugen Klein, REBGV president said.

While visiting Galiano Island last weekend to clean the roof gutters of leaves and debris, one of my invited guests mentioned that the market prices for detached properties (houses) appears to be "holding its own" while real estate prices for apartments and townhouses are "taking a hit". An important opinion, I thought, since it came from a senior manager from the BC Assessment Authority.
