While touring the Home Show at BC Place this weekend, I had a chance to talk with Colin and Justin from HGTV: "Colin and Justin's Home Heist". I announced how large of fan I was, and then Colin and Justin asked me about price per square foot of lofts in Vancouver. These entertaining gentlelmen have a great sense of humour and had me laughing in manner of seconds.
And of course an autograph that reads "Sell a lot of lofts"

Many client ask me, weither they should renovate their condo before putting it on the market. Listen to Pauls opinion below. Basically buyers today want a deal and not have to pay extra for a renovated suite, you are better off taking the amount you wish to spend on nice renovations and discount it off the price of your property! There currently are a lot of nicely renovated suites on the market sitting and waiting...

Why should you sell your place and buy a bigger one now? Paul Albrighton tells you his opinion on video below. Sell your current condo for a slight discount, buy something bigger and save the same percentage on a bigger purchase price! Ex: You currently own a condo worth $400,000 and you want to move up for some water views and more square footage. Sell your $400,000 condo at a 5% loss for $380,000 and buy something worth $800,000 for also 5% less and save $40,000 off the purchase price. Where do we get 5% from, this is the average in downturned prices in Downtown Vancouver since Feb. 2008.
