Vancouver Real Estate – One of the hottest real estate markets in the world.

Ask any Vancouver real estate agent worth his salt how the market has been over the past year or so and they is sure to tell you that it has been booming. The Vancouver property market has much to offer and is thus attracting investors from various locations.



Why is Vancouver Property in so much demand?



Vancouver Real Estate is attractive to individuals looking to buy property in a relatively less polluted area of Canada, while at the same time, being a city, one can enjoy the best of both worlds. Good schools and safe neighbourhoods are another reason, while the fact that several older homes of the 1920’s and 1950’s have been converted into more attractive modern Vancouver condos and town houses allow for purchasing new homes. In fact, Vancouver has even been referred to as "the Switzerland of the Pacific". The city has a vast range of spectacular landscapes, ranging from alpine forests, spectacular mountains and clean ocean beaches, all of which provide a vast range of outdoor activities that complement Vancouver’s thriving cultural and entertainment districts.



Who are the main buyers?



A lot of the Vancouver Real Estate is being bought up by overseas parties who are looking for a good place to invest or immigrants who have prospered after moving to the country, for example a lot of affluent Chinese have been purchasing after the "one house rule" was recently implemented in some Chinese cities. There are a large number of expatriates from the Pacific region who work and live here. As a result many neighbourhoods are filled with wealthy individuals who enjoy living a luxurious life. Vancouver Real Estate Listings are also watched closely by couples from the Pacific Rim region who make the decision to purchase a property here, so that their children can get a good education at a reputed Canadian school. In such cases it is not uncommon to find one parent living in the Vancouver homes with the children, so that they can attend school, while one or both of the parents live in Asia and visit on holidays.
