less than three posted:Yeah Highstreet. I was there last month for a birthday party for a friend's two-year old. Apparently there is a community room there you can reserve for free. I didn't notice anything terribly remarkable about the place, certainly no idea it was supposed to be Canada's biggest mall at some point. Seemed thoroughly unremarkable, though the underground parking was nicely colour coded!

I don't know if it was going to be Canada's biggest as posted earlier, but they definitely thought it'd draw in all the Metro Vancouver people instead of going to Metrotown or Coquitlam Centre. e: In a similar vein, I went to Tsawwassen Mills once. A guy in a store asked where I was from, and when I said Downtown Vancouver he was like "why would you come here?" less than three fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Oct 14, 2019 |

Speaking of empty storefronts. I went to Brentwood today. Basically everything except the food court and EB Games is an empty storefront. It was almost surreal.

Chinese owned of course. That mall could have been successful in that area, especially now that it's built up. Instead it's just contributing to the dtes rot heading the other way.

And they quite often get somewhat smaller/indie movies that don't show up elsewhere

My FIL who has been NDP and "for the working class" his entire life until real estate paid off and then went full conservative seems to have had yet another change of heart and voted NDP again, which is positive. Dude went from pro-union to "maybe trump will be a good change of pace" and back to pro-union in like 4 years flat.

The lines are usually long and the owner is a social media thirsty dipshit but the best fried chicken is definitely Downlow and it's not even close.

My partner and I put offers in on three properties in Metro Vancouver this past month. We are both professionals and are looking to buy our first home together and figured that with prices dropping we could finally make that move. The first offer we went above asking on the unit but lost out to a buyer who bought with all cash. The next offer we went in at asking and again lost out to a buyer who bought with all cash. The last offer was a risk. We put an offer in on a unit in a complex we had looked at previously, so we knew the strata and had depreciation reports. However, the listing was a few hours old and we didn't actually go look at the unit first. We decided to be aggressive and put in an offer at asking price. The listing agent let our offer expire because, apparently, the seller only wanted to see offers after the first open house and wouldn't consider an offer that only came in at the listed price for the unit. My partner and I have given up on buying property in this stupid market for the foreseeable future and are just gonna keep sitting on the sidelines. gently caress the lower mainland.

Don't worry, a local grassroots oganization has a plan to restore housing prices to nominal levels that might be crazy enough to work.

Dual professional household and impossible to find suitable family housing that is priced at a level commensurate with quality. All speculation and money laundering.

Is there even any data on what fraction of real estate sales are all cash? It feels like there should be news articles and a lot more outrage. Edit: lol at that last seller, though. They're dreaming if they think the days of bidding wars are coming back.

Money laundering doesn't care about gains so much, if their investment goes up that's a nice bonus but not required. To get the dirty money out there will need to be either a crash big enough that even criminals don't want to eat those losses or maybe some actual regulations with teeth that make BC an unattractive place to do financial crimes.

Rural prices are going back up as everyone scrambles to buy in the middle of nowhere. Can't imagine why, hope the coming recession slaughters them but these are usually non-financed sales.

Gah -- just saw this while browsing those listings, and looked it up because it was right by the house some friends are renting. https://www.rew.ca/properties/R2402458/1410-e-1st-avenue-vancouver-bc quote:Attention families and/or AirBnB Superhosts! This property is perfect for you! Tastefully updated & stylish family home just steps to The Drive and less than 5 minutes to downtown Vancouver. 3 bedrooms up, licensed & professionally managed AirBnB 2 bedroom suite down bringing in $40k+ per year in revenue. No work needed, just sit back and enjoy your investment. Best month was over $6k! Yep, just using your illegal AirBnB suite as a selling feature of your house.
