Don’t make these rookie mistakes when it comes to investing in your new home. Here are three things you should avoid at all costs:

Early Renovations: As tempting as it may be to start renovating your new home right away, hold off on any major changes for a little while. Take some time to live in the space and get a feel for what changes will truly benefit you in the long run.
Hiring a Shady Contractor: When it comes to hiring someone to work on your home, always do your research and choose a reputable contractor. Taking shortcuts with an untrustworthy contractor can end up costing you more time and money in the long run.
Doing DIY’s: While it may seem like a cost-effective option, tackling major DIY projects without the proper knowledge and skills can lead to costly mistakes and potential safety hazards. Leave it to the professionals or start small with DIY projects that are within your skill set.

As a real estate agent, I’ve seen firsthand the consequences of these investment blunders. Don’t let them hinder your dream home goals, be smart and strategic with your investments.

**5 Benefits of Buying an Older Condo and Renovating It**

1. **Lower Purchase Price:**
Older condos typically have a lower upfront purchase price compared to new constructions. This can make entry into the housing market more accessible or leave room in the budget for significant renovations.

2. **Potential for Customization:**
Renovating an older condo allows you to tailor the space exactly to your tastes and needs. You can redesign layouts, update finishes, and modernize the unit to increase its functionality and aesthetic appeal.

3. **Established Neighborhoods:**
Older condos are often located in well-established areas with mature amenities, such as developed landscaping, community ties, and well-serviced by public transportation and local businesses.

4. **Quicker Possession:**
Buying an older condo generally means you can take possession sooner than you would with a presale condo, which can be advantageous if you need to move quickly.

5. **Potential for Value Increase:**
With thoughtful renovations, you can significantly increase the value of an older condo, potentially yielding a higher return on investment when you decide to sell.

**Top Tips to Make Your Airbnb Stand Out!**

🏠 **Simple and Fresh Design:**
Keep your interior design simple, fresh, and impersonal. Avoid family photos or unique artifacts. Make sure your home isn’t outdated.

🛏️ **High-Quality Bedding:**
Invest in high-quality, clean sheets. Remember, low-quality bedding equals low ratings!

🎉 **WOW Factor:**
Add unique features to stand out. Consider family games, fun pool floaties, a cozy reading nook, or an inviting outdoor space.

🧳 **Essential Amenities:**
Make sure to include:
- Hair Dryer & Towels
- Pleasant Smells & No Odors
- Washer/Dishwasher Detergent
- Coffee Maker & Toaster
- Pots, Pans, Plates, Cutlery

🔍 **Honest Listings:**
Ensure every listed amenity is available for your guests.

🌟 **Boost Your Airbnb Success:** Follow these tips to create an unforgettable stay for your guests and outshine the competition!

🏡 Big Changes in Short-Term Rentals in BC!
The government is stepping in to rein in the booming short-term rental market with new legislation introduced by Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon. Here's what you need to know:

Targeted Approach: The legislation addresses the surge in rental units, focusing on areas with high housing needs.

Data Sharing: Short-term rental platforms will now share data with the province for enforcement and tax purposes. This aims to bring more transparency to the market.

Limitations on Rentals: The legislation restricts short-term rentals to a host’s own home, basement suite, or laneway home on their property.

Tougher Penalties: Hosts breaking local bylaws will face increased fines, from $1,000 to $3,000 per day. Platforms must include business licenses and registration numbers on listings, promoting accountability.

Phased Implementation: Changes will roll out gradually, with the principal residence requirement effective by next May and data sharing expected next summer.

Stay informed about these updates shaping the future of short-term rentals in BC! 🏠✨

Possession day! Thank you to my good friends who trusted me with the sale of their home. Sad to see the house so empty when I handed over the keys to the new owners. But so happy that they sold at a great price, which afforded them a bigger and better home to suit their needs. To the next chapter! 🥂

Congratulations to my Buyers, Sarah and Justin whom purchased their first home this week!
We started our search in Burnaby and then turned our attention to the lovely River District in Vancouver East. They will soon move into their 2 bedroom condo which is just a stones throw from the river walk, which spans 10km+ and they can enjoy biking through the paths, or enjoy watching the ducks soak in the sun. What a great purchase, I am so happy for you both!

I live for these little mini men… they are my everything.

What do we thing about this proposal?

This prominent Port Moody corner has been vacant for years: is this plan for it the right fit? The corner where a 222-unit condo complex is being proposed used to be the home of the old Barnet Hotel
