Real Estate Advisor *PREC
Together with my husband Scott, we are the proud founders of Resident Experts. Raised on Vancouver’s West Side and immersed in a real estate family, my love for this city and industry runs deep. With nearly a decade of experience alongside The Kavanagh Group, one of the best teams in the City, I’ve honed my expertise by dealing with hundreds of clients. I prioritize my clients’ best interests, leveraging my tenacity, extensive knowledge, diligent work ethic, unwavering optimism, strategic thinking, and exceptional negotiation skills that have built my stellar reputation. With an intimate knowledge of the Vancouver West Side, I possess a deep understanding of its neighborhoods and intricacies. Matching clients with their perfect home and negotiating favourable terms on behalf of my sellers brings me immense fulfillment and joy, making me a passionate Realtor.
Family is everything, and I’m fortunate to work alongside my husband. With my brother and his wife and two kids living next door, and my parents just a short stroll away along the sea wall, we cherish our close-knit community. Being a mom fills me with boundless joy, as I delight in experiencing the world through my son’s eyes. When it comes to self-care, I find pleasure in indulging in brunches with friends, going for runs, biking the seawall and treating myself to regular foot massages. Life’s simple pleasures make all the difference!

Congratulations to our sellers on the successful sale of their condo! They are thrilled to be upgrading to a larger unit within the same building. We’re confident the buyers will enjoy the building as much as our clients, as they’ll be among friendly neighbors. It’s satisfying to see everything come together for both parties. While buying before selling can be stressful, with the right strategy it’s definitely achievable. We were able to coordinate all the dates for a seamless transition for our clients. 🎉

🏡 Buying property in BC? 🏡
Here is a closer look at some title issues that could hinder your ability to clear title when it comes to possession:
Unresolved Liens: These are legal claims against the property due to unpaid debts or obligations. They can include unpaid taxes, contractor bills, or court judgments. Unresolved liens create clouds on the title, making it challenging to establish clear ownership and transfer the property.
Easements & Rights-of-Way: Easements grant others the right to use a portion of your property for specific purposes, such as utility access or shared driveways. Rights-of-way provide passage through your property. Certain agreements can limit your property rights and may affect your ability to clear title.
Restrictive Covenants: These are agreements that impose certain restrictions or obligations on how you can use the property. They may include zoning restrictions, building regulations, or architectural guidelines. Failure to comply with restrictive covenants can hinder title clearance.
Encroachments: Encroachments occur when structures, such as fences or buildings, extend onto neighboring properties. They can lead to disputes with neighbors and complicate the process of clearing titles. Resolving encroachments is essential for establishing clear boundaries and ownership rights.
Addressing these title issues promptly is crucial for ensuring a smooth property transaction and establishing clear ownership rights.

✨March Market Update✨
•
•
The number of homes listed for sale on the MLS in Metro Vancouver surged by nearly 23% year-over-year, offering increased opportunities for prospective buyers this spring.
The MLS Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,196,800. This represents a 4.5% increase over March 2023 and a 1.1% increase compared to February 2024.
Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics and data analytics, remarked, “If you’re feeling a cooler breeze compared to last spring, you might find solace in the fact that the market isn’t quite as heated as it was then, particularly for buyers. Despite the welcomed rise in inventory, the market balance continues to shift towards sellers’ market territory, indicating sustained demand for well-priced and well-located properties.”
While the market isn’t as heated as last year, we continue to observe modest month-over-month price gains of 1-2% at the aggregate level, despite ongoing high borrowing costs. Although potential cuts to the Bank of Canada’s policy rate are anticipated in 2024 due to favorable inflation trends, any reductions may not lead to significant improvements in affordability. Therefore, constrained borrowing power is likely to persist as a challenging hurdle as we head into the summer months.
For a more comprehensive breakdown of the current market, check out our latest blog post (link in bio), where we examine sales in the different key areas of Vancouver. Stay connected as we continue to share insights on neighborhood-specific stats and evolving trends on our social feeds. Our goal is to provide a clear understanding of the ongoing market dynamics in order for you to make informed decisions.
