2022 Year in Review Video - Thank you for another successful year


Thank you for another successful year in business.  

 

Your enthusiasm as clients and colleagues on a day-to-day basis fuels my determination to remain on the forefront of effective marketing and service. 

2022 was an eventful year to say the least. We managed to sell our clients homes for good prices and found some gems along the way, in this changing dynamic market place. Thank you again for your business. 

I continue supporting the Transplant Research Foundation of BC, by contributing 1% of our annual profits to this cause. In addition to, participating as a patient partner; advising researchers on how a patient perspective and experience, can be considered in their research, to primarily help support advances in healthcare. I encourage you to consider donating to this charity as BC is known to be one of the breeding grounds for cutting edge research, in both saving and extending the lives of people in our community. Also, if you have not yet registered to be an organ donor, please do so. 1 donor can save up to 8 lives. I would not be here today writing this message without medical research and organ transplantation in BC.

Market Comment: 
Vancouver Westside detached homes are becoming more and more attractive, in the last 3 years East Vancouver homes have risen 23.9% in price while Westside detached home prices have only risen 8.1% in the same time period. Making for a great opportunity to live in an established neighbourhood and near some of the best school in the city.

Featured in the Globe & Mail - Waterfall Building Sale


PAUL ALBRIGHTON AT THE WATERFALL BUIDLING

FEATURED IN THE GLOBE AND MAIL 

 

waterfall globe and mail march 2021

From the article:

"Canadian architect legend Arthur Erickson had designed this large live-and-work loft in the Waterfall Building, located near Burrard Bridge and Granville Island.

The 1,444-square-foot two-level unit was unique, listing agent Paul Albrighton said. With exposed concrete walls and full-height floor-to-ceiling windows, the loft has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a large work area, radiant heat floors and a floating concrete staircase. It also provides city and mountain views.

“These types of larger lofts do not come available very often,” he said.

Most developers are not constructing smaller developments as they don’t yield the same profits as the megatowers, or meet the City of Vancouver’s density mandates we are currently seeing,” Mr. Albrighton said.

“Boutique-type buildings by famous designers and architects are becoming more and more popular, as they are harder to come by.”

From the article: "This two-level unit was listed mid-January and sold quickly. The buyer intends to live in the home.

“This offer came in early within three days of listing, and over the asking price, because the buyer was keen to get his offer accepted before more parties came to view the loft,” agent Paul Albrighton said." “The seller decided to go with that one offer and secure the sale early instead of engaging in multiple viewings as is the trend in this market.”

From the article: 
"The agent’s take: “Although it was a high-end duplex and above the average price of a duplex in East Van, the home featured unique architectural design both inside and outside, along with a central location, and tasteful updates throughout,” Mr. Albrighton says. The average price for a duplex in the area is about $1.35 million, he says." Read the full article.  

 

Pauls Latest Market Option
The market has changed where there are less sales per listing, however we are still achieving great prices for our owners of unique or architecturally inspiring properties, local buyers still believe in the long-term value of our market.  Also rents are strong, holding the value steady of investment properties.  This has been our best first-6 months to any year in the past 11 years, so while the media has changed "their perspective" on the market, good product is still holding or increasing in value. See the full property details. 



Conversation with media on hot area and investment in Vancouver Real Estate


VANCOUER MARKET SUMMARY - APRIL 29 2018

On average the Vancouver market in the past month, sales has have decrease in sales by 27% compared to April 2017, 17 year low on number of sales.  Inventory has increased 18% higher than the previous year.. 

 

Market condition are changing: New federal gov’t policies for mortgages, stress test.  (However some Private Banks and Credit Unions are not subject to these rules).  

 

Top area to invest: 

Mount Pleasant, prices are up on condos up 19.7% in 1 year, market is now providing more buying opportunities, as there are more options and less multi;le bids happening.  The entry level 1 bedroom in this area is 600 - 650k.  Average prices are $1150 - 1200/sq.ft.  Rents are 1900 - 2200/sq.ft. for 1 beds. Yaletown, Presales in the area sold well this year at an average of $1400/sq.ft.  You can still buy re-sale newer buildings for $1200/sq.ft. 

 

Westside of Vancouver Houses, 

More affordable houses, Kitsilano 10-12% lower than the 2016 peak pricing, (prior to the foreign investment tax being announced) for an older well kept livable home or a lot.  

  

Reasons why the market has cooled lately: 

- 3 very strong years of price growth, some push back from consumers, finally inventory has increased, up 18% this time last year, it has been at records lows for the last few years.  

- New mortgage rules

- Vancouver new tax policies: Vacant home tax (bought more rental to the market), increased foreign buyers tax from 15% to 20%.  Getting people to take their time.  Vacation home ownership is down. 

- I don’t believe these conditions will reming for long, as the overall economy is in good shape, we have Amazon bring  Presales are still selling well at prices

PUBLIHSED NATIONALLY

Sale Details: 

Property Advertisement Link: http://www.albrighton.ca/property_details-3-119797.html

 

Suite 2705-1111 Alberni St, Shangri-la Vancouver. It was a nice NE corner unit, 1094 sq.ft. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a small den with some city views, and a corridor water view.  The unit was in original condition, but very well kept as it had been owner occupied for most of its life.  It was listed at $1,510,000 on September 19th 2017, and sold in 8 days for $1,490,000 ($1361.97/sq.ft.).  We showed it to about 15 groups within the week.  We had one offer within 6 days, which was slightly too low for the seller to accept, and after declining that initial offer, we then received a better offer the next day which after some negotiation landed within 1.3% of the asking price.  

The seller had initially purchased this property as her primary residence in September 2015 for $1,090,000.  The 37% appreciation over 2 years is beyond the average for most Downtown condos in this price range, however; the building Shangri-la has become extra desirable with nearby high-rises including the Trump Tower with similar units now selling at $1700 - $2500/sq.ft.  Shangri-la has always been popular for its location, 61-storey height, views for the upper units, modern styling, and being connected to an international destination hotel.   Read the full Globe & Mail Story here:

Paul Albrighton Charitable Activities Update


INVOLVEMENT WITH THE TRANSPLANT RESEARCH FOUNDATION OF BC & THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION

 


First as a recipient and later as a donor.  From over from 2006 - 2017, Paul Albrighton personally donated to Make-A-Wish BC and sat on The Young Professional Advisory Council between 2012-2013.  These members acted as ambassadors through fundraising and advocacy activities.  

make a wish logo 150 wide

Pauls Story published in 2012, 

Quoted from The Make a Wish, "Where are they now" Bio Series: 

“I was a very ill kid since the age of four and spent about four years either living in the hospital or with assisted care at home.  I had a feeding tube attached to my stomach and a permanent intravenous line that would give me nutrients to my body. I was so sick that I required an intestine transplant.  

In 1994, I was blessed to receive a successful intestine transplant, which completely changed my life.  It allowed me to live freely and run around to play with my friends and siblings without tubes attached to me.  I continued to be a patient at the Children’s Hospital into my teenage years after my transplant, as they had to monitor my progress.  

After a small complication in 1998, my family and I were in need of some happiness and relaxation.  It was in 1998, that the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted me a wish.   

I was 14 years old and I remember the moment very clearly when the Wish Foundation told me that they were going to send me and my family to Maui, Hawaii.  Till this day, I have very fond memories of that trip.  We had a beautiful condo near the sea and had a rental car to tour the Island visiting great beaches, the aquarium and many other tourist attractions.  It was truly a gift to have received a vacation with my family, especially after so many years of dealing with my health issues and stress.  

When my family and I talk about our Maui vacation, it makes us smile all over again! My family and I are forever grateful to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in helping us lift our spirits after such a long journey!  The wish we received truly impacted our lives.

I have since received a second successful transplant following my years at the Children’s Hospital.  This time it was for my kidney, which I received from my loving mother.  Although being a double transplant recipient requires a bit more maintenance on my body compared to the average person, I have never let it get in the way of my goals in life.  

Today I am 27 years old (written in 2012) and live a happy normal life.  I love to travel, eat good food, learn about business/marketing and I love design! I recently purchased my dream loft style condo in downtown, which I reside on my own. 

I am a realtor at in Vancouver who specializes in unique homes, lofts and modern condos.  I have earned myself MLS Medallion Club recognition for four years in a row.  The Medallion Club recognizes the top performing 10% of Realtors in Greater Vancouver.  My goal is to maintain in the Medallion Club and one-day design and build unique modern homes.  Visit my website when you get a chance www.albrighton.ca

I work very hard in my business so I can donate 1% of my profit to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, BC.  I would like to inspire and give hope to other wish kids and their families that there is a future of large possibilities, after overcoming a life-threatening illness as a child.”

Paul is a donor to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC helping to make even more dreams come true for children who are facing their own battle with a life-threatening illness.  Thanks Paul for sharing your story and for your generous gifts to our Foundation!

QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE WITH EXTRA COMMENTS FROM PAUL ALBRIGHTON: 

 

#310 - 36 Water St, Terminus Building. 

 This was a unique two level loft, listed at $1,119,900.  It was listed in the beginning of December, only for one day. We had a few very interested parties request to see it right away.  That evening we received two offers and it was sold for $1,126,000.  The buyer was a local person looking for a unique space with high ceilings, plenty of wall space for art, and within a modern development.  Gastown has become more popular for upscale condos and lofts like this one, as the area offers amongst the most unique architectural buildings Downtown, within an old-world European charming streetscape, with many new nearby trendy boutiques and restaurants.  This property was originally purchased for $800,000 in 2010 from the developer. 

Comments on the local Gastown Market:  

Pricing in Gastown is up significantly, 20%-30% in the last 15 months. While the overall market in Vancouver has cooled down, this has resulted in less buyers at the table, but there are still enough buyers willing to pay a premium  for unique properties and especially lofts.  There are no new true two-level lofts currently under construction in the area, so this property type is seen as a rarity and is putting further pressure on the pricing.

3D Rendering for Albrighton Properties


ALBRIGHTON REAL ESTATE USES 3D RENDERINGS

 

We often work with clients who want to re-design their space, or they have a design background. To give our clients and potential buyers the best feel for a space, we have developed 3D Renderings to display a homes floor plan.  These are to the exact dimensions of the unit, first measured by a laser, and then rendered with the images from our photographer. These multiple view angles allow the buyer to feel and understand a space more than a 2D traditional floor plan.  Have a look at our recent 3D Renderings:

Architectural Townhouse at 1451 Howe St Goes Viral

Pomaria on curbed

Pomaria Townhouse goes viral after numerous likes on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.  Curbed.com picked up the property and wrote a feature.  "Just over 1,200 square feet, this place features 18 foot ceilings on the main floor, walnut wood flooring, custom lighting, and exposed concrete. The walk up unit has a lovely little patio face Howe Street and if that doesn't excite you, the seawall is just a stones throw away. If buyers can put up with the construction mess that is going to be the Vancouver House (which will be located only a few steps away), upon completion of the much talked about twisting tower, the area will surely be transformed from the dead zone that it currently is to a retail and pedestrian haven." Quoted from the article.

Globe & Mail News - Meet Modernist Design, Vancouver's New Housing Trend


ALBRIGHTON QUOTED IN THE GLOBE AND MAIL

screen shot 2013 12 17 at 122712 pm

"Meet modernist design,
Vancouver's new housing trend"

By: Frances Bula

“There’s a new generation out there that’s kind of tired of the old
Craftsman look,” says Paul Albrighton, a Realtor who specializes
in modernist apartments, townhomes, and single-family houses.
They’re not the quickest sell on the block, he says, but there is a
definite market of new buyers. “A lot of them have been in
condominiums as younger people and they are trying to continue
with that. They like the clean lines.”
Read the full story.



Paul Albrighton's client testimonials


Paul Albrighton's client testimonials

 

“I come with a real estate sales management background of over 12 years. The service and professional attention I received from Paul was exceptional. He is a high-caliber realtor, being responsive, efficient and pays attention to detail. His knowledge of the local market, his unique marketing system and his keen negotiating skills were integral to the timely sale of my upscale gastown loft.  Paul is personable and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend him.”

- Anotonia B.

"Paul, thank you very much for everything that you did to make the sale of
our beloved loft possible. It was a great pleasure to work with you
once again. You will be who we contact should we return to Vancouver
in the future and require a new home to live in."

- K. & P. Lum

"When my husband and I began our property search, we wondered if identifying a realtor who would meet our needs would be more challenging than finding the ideal property.  We’d purchased properties in the Vancouver area before, however, we’d been living abroad for many years, so we used the internet to begin our search.  Searching individually, we each found Paul’s website to be the most friendly, informative, organized and easy to navigate; it also had the best selection of properties.  We had very specific criteria and tastes which Paul grasped from our first meeting, and he ensured that we were able to view the most suitable properties during our 2 visits to Vancouver.  Between visits, Paul stayed in touch, sending listings to us and responding promptly to our enquiries.  Throughout the process, Paul’s personal attention and integrity were impeccable; his personality and humour made it pleasant to spend time with him, and we’re happy to recommend him to anyone looking for real estate."

- J. Roe

 

"Having Paul Albrighton as my realtor gave me the ease of mind that my sale and purchase would be handled in the utmost professional manner and the best deal would be obtained for me.  His persistence and upbeat personality made everything go smoothly.  I was informed during every step and his knowledge of the real estate market was invaluable.  I would highly recommend Paul to anyone who is in the real estate market." 

- Judy Li

 

"I decided to purchase our first home, the first person I thought of was Paul.  There are a lot of realtors out there, but I've known Paul for almost 5 years and he is the one person I trust that will help us in our best interests.  And he did just that! He always focused on our needs, and what our goals were.  I always felt that he had put us first.  That type of service is VERY hard to find in these days. Paul truly cares about his clients and will go the extra mile to help people achieve their dreams of owning a home.  I would recommend Paul to anyone who wishes for an easy and fun experience in house hunting. Thanks a lot Paul! I'll call you again when we're looking for our second place."   - Sally Ngo

 

"Paul’s attention to design, detail, and his effective marketing plan was the key to selling our Vancouver loft." 

- J.  Martin

 

"Thank you for the advice.  It's good to know that I have someone who is truly looking out for my best interest. You’ve done a great job Paul.  Thanks for keeping me up to date each step of the way."

 - J. Nguyen

 

"Without a doubt, I cannot accurately express our thanks and genuine delight with the services Paul Albrighton provided...

Paul found us our dream home...an almost impossible feat given our limited budget and requirements. Following a conversation on our must-haves and like-to-haves, Paul quickly compiled a list of potential homes for us...every condo he took us to had potential and definitely suited our needs and likes... then he saved the piece de resistance for our final stop of the day...and it was perfection...a wow from start to finish...

As much as we appreciated Paul's ability to zero in on what we liked and didn't like and only show us condos to suit us, we would learn his true talent lies with the negotiations...My husband and I had a completely different starting offer price in mind...It would be Paul's expertise that saved us over $25K on the deal. He took the burden of the negotiations so we wouldn't have to...and the pressure was there...buyers (us) leaving the country in days for over a month...and sellers not even living in the country--AND he was brilliant. Additionally, any time we needed an expert (mortgage broker, notary), Paul already had a standing relationship with these people...talk about a full-service agent!!

We had first contacted Paul years ago when we first moved to Vancouver...we weren't ready to buy but he helped us get familiar with the city and what buildings might interest us. When we were ready to buy 3 years later, he was our first call.

Regardless of other clients tasking his time, he always made us feel like we were his first priority...even preparing the offer for the home we ultimately bought while he was dreadfully sick with a cold. He is definitely my go-to person for any information on downtown condos for us or for friends.  He is the dream professional... all that you could ask for in a realtor..."

 - Karri McDonald-Hambrook & Steve Hambrook

 

"Paul's is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how to get it done quickly and effectively. Paul's focus is highly respected, as both a person and a professional, by colleagues, partners and clients. Vancouver’s preeminent loft expert”

 - David Hudson - Mortgage Manager

The Vancouver Sun Quotes Paul Albrighton as a Shangri-la Expert


PAUL ALBRIGHTON HITS THE PAPERS

OF THE VANCOUVER SUN



Paul Albrighton was quoted in The Vancouver Sun on February 19th in the article;
"Donald Trump eyes a Vancouver presence on site of nixed Ritz-Carlton project".  Having sold many similar condos and working with buyers from a across the globe, Paul Albrighton is a sought after specialist with the Shangri-la Vancouver, at 1111 Alberni St & 1128 W Georgia St.  His focused website for this building is: www.shangri-la-condos.ca  

The recent Article featured in The Vancouver Sun, was discussing the speculated Trump International Development located on Georgia Street.  Tracey Sherlock approached Albrighton for his expertise with the current comparable Shangri-la building.

Pauls Section: "There are several other hotel-condo projects in Vancouver, including the Shangri-La, which was completed in 2009 and is Vancouver's tallest building at 62 storeys. Paul Albrighton, a realtor specializing in resale units at the Shangri-La, said prices in the luxury building have risen an average of two to three per cent in the past 12 months - above average for Vancouver condos. He said buyers are both Vancouverites and offshore buyers, but that there has been a bit of a slowdown, particularly among offshore buyers, in the past six to eight months."

"DONE DEALS" - HOW MUCH DID THIS VANCOUVER HERITAGE LOFT GO FOR (IN A SOFTER MARKET)?

Paul Albrighton is often quoted for his expertise with lofts and Vancouver properties.  Recently the Globe & Mail News reached out to Paul Albrighton for information on a recent sale, a loft on Beatty Street, #3-528 Beatty St.  This historic loft was unique with its architectural features.  Read more by following the links below.

Text Version: http://m.theglobeandmail.com/life/home-and-garden/real-estate/soft-market-trims-price-on-vancouver-heritage-loft/article8330215/?service=mobile

Quoted from the article:
"The property was listed at $429,000, reduced to $409,000 after several weeks without selling and was reduced again to $399,000. It finally sold 51 days after being listed for $395,000.

What they got: Because Vancouver hasn’t got a lot of lofts, the lofts that do come on the market go for a price that’s generally slightly higher than the average. This loft at 528 Beatty, known as Bowman Lofts, is a warehouse conversion by Salient Group in the neighbourhood of Crosstown, which intersects three neighbourhoods: Yaletown, Gastown and Chinatown. It’s on a highly desirable street, close to trendy upscale restaurants as well as the hockey arena and movie theatres.

The agent’s take: Realtor Paul Albrighton is a loft specialist whose listings usually come up in places like Crosstown where the buildings were formerly used for light manufacturing and warehousing. In the current market, “we are seeing more investor style clients that are planning to purchase properties either as holding property or rental properties because they recognize that prices have come down,” Mr. Albrighton said. “The purchaser of this place is planning to rent it out for the long term, as it’s a unique place and the price was very attractive.”

If you are looking to buy or sell a Vancouver property, contact Paul Albrighton, 604-315-5574.

"One man's happiness project moves ahead"

This news story was written by Kerry Gold at the Globe and Mail and posted in the Real Estate section on December 20th 2012, as Paul Albrighton is a recognized leader in the Vancouver Real Estate Industry.  His sales ablilites, unique brand, and annual contribution to the Make-A-Wish BC chapter has received attention from the media.

Paul Albrighton is the kind of 27 year old who could pass for a teenager wearing a nice suit. He’s got a wide grin, a wiry build, and the polite exuberance of a young salesman who might have taken in a few Tony Robbins how-to-be-your-best seminars.

His optimism, though, hasn’t got that dogged spiritual-boot-camp feel to it. Mr. Albrighton has arrived at his daily up-with-life mantra as a response to childhood health setbacks that linger into his adult life. In other words, he’s happy to be alive. In fact, he’s so happy and goal-oriented, he tells me, that his mind is even working while he sleeps.

“When you give yourself good thoughts before bed, you do a little dreaming about what you want,” he says, seated in a Gastown coffee shop. “Your body and mind work over time when you are focused, even when you are sleeping. Define what you want, make it realistic, and go for it with passion,” he says.

Few Pieces of the Article:

 - “From the home buyer’s standpoint, there’s no longer the frustration of being taken out to a house and rolling your eyes at the realtor after the 20th time, and saying, ‘Ok, let me explain this to you again. I need a workable office space. Don’t show me houses that have a closet for a work space,’” says Mr. Shuster.

van-virtual0625r_723225artw“They noticed that I do a lot of business online — it’s probably 60 per cent of my business,” says Mr. Albrighton, who specializes in marketing lofts. He also maintains a website as a loft listing service.

“I think it would be quite positive for special suites. I don’t know if I would do it for a small, quicker transaction,” says Mr. Albrighton. “I think the largest potential and what they will go after is developer business, places that aren’t built yet. The display suite is usually the best suit, but this would allow them to make a virtual tour for quite a few floor plans.”
