Despite all the economic doom and gloom out there today, there are still some people who have managed to save their money and are now looking for good deals on waterfront and luxury homes. I spoke this week with a representative from the New York Times, who reported that a luxury Realtor in New York was extremely busy with wealthy buyers looking to get good deals on New York luxury properties. While doing some research this week myself, this was confirmed by a spike in searches on Google for terms such as "luxury homes BC" and "Vancouver luxury homes." Moreover, one of our member Realtors has reported that she just sold her "Big waterfront" and was closing on two more luxury properties in the next month or so.
All of these reports made me wonder if I should start a "Must Sell" list for any of our sellers who need to sell now and email it out to interested buyers. Due to my interactions with clients on a regular basis, I often am aware of sellers who may need to sell and are looking for offers. Unfortunately, since I can't afford to buy all of the properties, I thought it might be a good idea to make up this list of properties and create a mailing list of buyers wanting to receive it. What do you think? Good idea? We're looking for some feedback here so let us know by posting a comment or emailing us at: This email address is being protected from spambots.

One last thing, as you may have noticed, we have begun adding information on the most prestigious luxury waterfront neighbourhoods in Vancouver and Victoria. So far, we have covered luxury real estate in Oak Bay and The Uplands in Victoria and Kitsilano, Coal Harbour and Point Grey in Vancouver. As we gather new listings in these areas, we will create links to them from these pages as well. Keep your eyes open for more to come!
