“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of action. It asks too little of yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.” Barack Obama
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver recently carried out a home sellers and buyers survey and here is what they found about home-buyers:
*about six-in-ten are female
*about half are age 45 years and younger
*the majority (more than 7 in 10) of all buyers are married or living common law
*their typical household size is 2.7 persons
* about 6 in 10 have a university degree or college diploma
*one in ten work from home and another one in ten do so at least part of the time
*one third are born in BC
*a language other than English is spoken in 18% of their households
