Re: Short term rental in Nanaimo???

I'm really surprised to hear this. Although I wouldn't say that there are a LOT of affordable rental vacancies in Nanaimo at the moment, I don't see why it would be hard to find one. Maybe you're not...

Re: House prices in Vancouver

Here, I think I attached this correctly...

Re: House prices in Vancouver

Re: An offer on the house!!!

You're in Canada right?

Good luck, but as you say don't open the champagne yet as your buyer still has hurdles to jump over. In my area, there's about a one in ten chance of something preventing...

Re: MLS changing to.....

Yeah, that's right. They were orignally going to do it in May but they kept pushing it back for some reason. Dunno why.

Re: Daft question about a dog!

Where in Canada are you?

Re: Victoria, nice place

Yeah, Victoria's pretty nice, and there's lots of Brits there. The only downside is the seedy people downtown. I planned to settle there for many years but didn't want to raise my kids with access to...

Re: Canadian Ovens

Ah. We call those convection ovens. You can find them here, but you gotta pay a bit more for them and you might have to go to a larger store to find a decent one.

I'm a Realtor out in B.C. and can't tell you for certain what the laws for Ontario are, as certain things do change from province to province. But for B.C. Startwin and MB Realtor's comment are...
