Life on the Shore

Foreclosure Aug 18,2016

Well, it's hard to think that by the time you're reading this, there's only 3 weeks left before the kids head back to school, this has been such a quick summer or lack thereof as this isn't anywhere close to what we had last year with the watering bans of last year the 6-7 weeks of no rain (unusual for the lower mainland), that was last year this is this year, but as I write this article it's starting to get mighty warm in the house.

We started the summer off with our son heading to San Francisco with the BC Sailing team and he came back more mature, then next thing we know he's sailing in the BC Summer games and won a bronze medal in his division, then Toronto for the Canadian National Championships regatta on Lake Ontario.

It's been an amazing summer for sailing (there was wind at most regattas) and it's been a so so summer for the real estate industry what with the usual July slow down and then the surprise bomb of the 15% foreign ownership tax, it definitely had the slow down affect, but I wonder who it impacts most? the foreign buyers or the local ownership.

Stay tuned, will have more articles in this and future editions.

In the meantime, have a look at the foreclosure list attached above, and again thanks to Eldon Whalen.
