The Game: Vancouver Olympics, Property Value and Interest Rates

Rumors that property values in Vancouver will decrease after the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are laughable, at most.  Low interest rates and high demand are currently driving prices, and this phenomenon will continue post Olympics!  Watch the video for more info.  Please comment below, as well.

Five Percent Increase in House Prices Predicted in Next Few Months

There’s a slight lull in the market, but there are still ‘deals’ available for those willing to do careful research.  I would recommend buying before the Olympics if you can, because prices are probably going to rise about five percent in the next couple of months.

The Vancouver 2010 Olympics – Will the Games Effect the Real Estate Market in Vancouver?

It will be interesting to see what happens once the Vancouver Olympic fever dies down. I checked out some games-related, real estate trends from former Olympic-host cities. Generally, two things happen: one, unemployment goes way down, which is good for property prices, and two, an international crowd flocks to the city. I predict that more people will be moving to Vancouver, which will drive prices up.  What do you think will happen?  I’d love to read your comments.

Vancouver Real Estate After the Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Up or Down?

Will the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games effect real estate prices?  Yes, I think they will.  More people are going to be coming to Vancouver, and the region will hold the world’s attention.  I’ve already had a more international crowd shopping for homes.  This increased attention is going to boost housing prices.  Check out the video for more details.

What do you think will happen to Vancouver real estate after the games?  Leave me a comment to share your thoughts.
