susankeevil.com is proud to present our Downtown Vancouver Attached Market Update for the period March 23 - March 30. Listing supply calmed down this past week, posting 297 new attached listings across all of Vancouver West (compared to an annual high of 358 new attached listings in the previous period). The downtown core fell from 133 new active attached listings to 96 new attached listings with False Creek North, Coal Harbour, and the West End also posting lower average listing figures after three consecutive weeks of growth following the Olympics. Though listing supply has decreased, it still remains relatively high if we look at previous seasonal trending, and since sales growth has remained relatively static for the past new week we may have longer to wait before we see the excess ... 03/30/2010

SOUTH GRANVILLE REAL ESTATE HOME STAGER AT URBAN BARN RED SOFA EVENT Last night I had the best time at Urban Barn, a furniture store on South Granville in Vancouver, representing my home staging company, Exit Stage Right.  After 20 years, the flagship furniture store has had a complete make over, and now has a clean, contemporary look.  The store decided to reconfigure their furniture pieces in order to display them as if they were sitting in an actual room.  Small vignettes are found all around the store, so that buyers can imagine how pieces of furniture would be displayed in their home.  As a home stager, I can relate?!!      To celebrate the re-opening of their new and improved store, Urban Barn literally rolled out the red carpet and invited the local design co... 03/26/2010

Q.  Are iPhones and blackberries are going to eventually replace business telephone systems? People often  come up and ask me if they think that personal devices assistants like  iPhones and blackberries are going to eventually replace business telephone systems possibly one day.  They may one day.   However  because they do cost alot- the cost of $700 or so for iPhone and about  $1500 a year for cell packages is not cheap.   So I still can't eventually see them completely replacing business phone systems because you need multiple business lines for  bigger companies.    And more importantly as a business, you need access and call control.The company needs to be able to control the flow of  calls from the clients and they can't do that if you're calling to personal cell phones.   I see ... 03/18/2010

  by Mike Andruff  - VancouverPropertyFinder.com            Back in January I posted a blog introducing the forthcoming Winter Olympics. In the video I highlighted a well know monument in Vancouver, The Terry Fox Memorial. I pointed out that it was fitting that Terry, a real Canadian hero, and his memorial was outside the building that would recognize many countries' heros for winning medals at the Celebration Ceremonies. I had no idea that several weeks later at the Paralympics, Terry would be featured as THE hero of the world's paralympians and we would see his parents bring the flame into the stadium.        As I sat in the 60,000 seat audience of BC Place at the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony last night in Vancouver, I thought of my departed, disabled father (he lost use of his r... 03/13/2010

I've learned a lot about the perception of home staging since launching my Empire. I've met with and spoken with literally hundreds of realtors and have heard every imaginable opinion on home staging ranging from "I'm a huge advocate of your services!" to "Home staging is ridiculous; I can sell my listings regardless of how they show". I'm not here to sell you on home staging, the statistics speak for themselves. Home staging is quickly becoming an industry standard and a powerful marketing tool that make homes sell faster & for higher prices. So, why, as a realtor, should you partner with a home stager? 1. Value added service - By including a home staging consultation with each of your listings, you are automatically adding value to your clients' experience. Stay a step ahead of your c... 03/09/2010
