Peace and tranquility await on Bowen Island. This quiet 2 level charmer sits on a sunny 10,890 sq.ft. corner lot, a short walk to the calm of Scarborough neighbourhood beach. Lovely wood floors run throughout. The main level offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, wood frame double windows & a large deck off both bedrooms, plus laundry. The kitchen features newer stainless appliances including a gas stove, and the electrical panel and heating have been updated. A spiral staircase leads down to soaring 10 ft ceilings and floor-to-ceiling French doors opening to a private, peaceful fenced yard, along with a large family/recreation room with gas hookup for a fireplace, a large bedroom, a two piece bath and utility/storage. A fabulous opportunity for a young family, or a peaceful Island pied-a-terre.

September brought encouraging signs for Metro Vancouver’s housing market, especially for houses and townhomes. Detached home sales rose 4.2% from last year to 575, and attached sales edged up to 358. GVR’s chief economist says this shows end-users, people buying homes to live in, are driving today’s market.

Total sales reached 1,717, down 8.4% from last September. Nearly all of that decline came from the apartment segment, where investors are waiting for better conditions.

For buyers, conditions are some of the most favourable in years. There are 16,394 homes for sale, about 24% above the 10-year average, so there’s plenty of choice. Prices are also easing gradually rather than sharply. The composite benchmark price is now $1,075,900, down 5.5% from last year:

Detached: $1,784,700 (down 7.3%)
Townhouse: $1,016,700 (down 4.7%)
Apartment: $682,500 (down 6.2%)

With more selection, more negotiating room, and a stable market, this fall is a great time for buyers to explore their options. Sellers of well-priced detached and attached homes are also finding motivated buyers ready to act.
