The Olympic flag now flying over Vancouver City Hall signals an important new factor in the Vancouver Real Estate market. The world is coming to visit, and visitors to Vancouver will discover what a wonderful place it is to live. The Real Estate Board reported that overall sales of detached, attached and apartment properties have surpassed 40,000 units for the first time in the Board’s history, bringing with it the largest dollar volume of sales on record. The first few months of 2006 have seen fewer market listings than at the same time last year, which means that now is a good time to think about selling your home.
