Living on the West Coast.... Real Estate status?

I love this quote from Ozzie Jurock regarding our current market.......and thoughts about living here on the coast

Vancouver's real estate market today comes after a 10 year run-up from $278,000 to $880,000 on average.

Did we really expect it to rise forever?

We may have a downturn, clear out our own overbuilding in places and yes, we may see a lowering of prices.

Markets become the stories people tell about them - and today, the naysayers are out in force and negative stories about Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton abound.

But whatever the short-term outcome, this is still paradise - the whole world wants to be here.

Living in Western Canada is being close to being in heaven on earth.

The environment is majestic, the climate outstanding, the views spectacular.

There is a very special flavour here. In Alberta, call it the crisp mountain air and the sweeping wide-open spaces; in B.C., call it the pert ocean spray, balmy sunsets, beach-roses in February and asters in October.

There is a Western Canadian flavour. A flavour unlike any other.

This is the best place in the world to be - and that means that our real estate prices will always be higher than elsewhere ... eventually.

A quote I use :

".....remember to enjoy every sandwich".

Warren Zevon when asked by
David Letterman on his show (who was a good friend of Mr Zevon and had him on as the sole guest for the show) after the diagnosis of terminal lung cancer brought on by asbestos exposure, knowing his time here was coming to a close what would he share with us......
