Hollyburn Group who own about 20 West End rental buildings gave eviction notices to the tenants of the Glenmore building at the corner of Gilford & Barclay.
82% of all the suites in Vancouver’s West End are rental and because the buildings were built in the 1960s and 1970s the rents are lower and attract a lower to middle income tenant. The vacancy rate in the neighbourhood is now 0.2%, in line with the downtown peninsula and not expected to change in the near future. Read the rest of this entry »

Why is This Downtown Vancouver Condo Listed at 2007 Price?
May 8th, 2008 Categories: Downtown, Vancouver Real Estate
606-907 Beach Avenue, Downtown Vancouver condo listed at last year’s price. Only $376,000 ($556 pr sq ft).
A Californian realtor called me last week and asked if I’d give him a referral fee if I listed his friend’s condo on Beach Avenue. This is a normal practice in our business, so of course I said yes.
Yesterday I met with the owner. The suite had been rented and the tenant has now moved out. She is aware the market is better supplied, so agreed to list her Vancouver Downtown Beach Avenue lower than the price we had agreed on last week in order to move it quickly. Smart Seller!
