Good morning! It is January 28th, this is your Cloverdale Town Home Blog.  Just so you know what's been happening this week, we currently have 129 active townhouse listings in Cloverdale. Active listings keep increasing, getting ready for that spring market, a lot of people are putting their product on the market. We have had 3 expiries which isn't that many, so not much is coming off.  But the good news is the previous week had 3 sales, which is up from other previous weeks. So it's starting to move, we are starting to get product going here.  Just so you guy know, the average price according to my cheat sheet here was $328,000 roughly for the sales that did happen and that puts you around $213 a square foot. So if you have any questions, as normal, give us a shout. I'm Steve Karrasch, I work with Chris Whitehead & Associates at Macdonald Realty Olympic.  Give us a call at 604-590-2444 or find us on the website at chriswhitehead.ca.  Talk to you next week!

"Hey there everybody, Steve Karrasch here for the Cloverdale Town House Blog. Exciting news this week, we have and open house to announce for you. We also have some changes in the mortgages and I am also going to update you on exactly what's happening.

So here is your market update for the 14th to the 20th of January. We have had nine more listing come on and no expiries. So what that meas is we currently have 120 active listings, nothing has come off the market and guess what, again zero sales this week. But dont worry I think we have the next sale here.  We are doing an open house tomorrow from 12 till 2, that's tomorrow Saturday the 22nd from 12 till 2 at #6 19448 68th Avenue. Swing on by, this place is in showroom condition, 2 parking stall, plus a media room downstairs, it's absolutely awesome.  Plenty of parking right our front, it faces the street, there is main level entry, it's got everything you are looking for in a Cloverdale townhome.

And now to the big news this week. Mortgages have changed drastically, so if you are not already qualified or you are thinking about buying later in the season, don't hesitate now. Mortgages are currently going to be dropping from 35 year amortization to 30 year amortization.  What that means is it could drop you tens of thousands of dollars of what you can qualify for. So you may be looking for one of these great Cloverdale townhomes to get into, but if you wait past the March 18th deadline to get a firm deal, you may be looking at our other sub-site, langleycondo.info instead. So we hope to see you there at our open house tomorrow, Saturday, noon until 2.  Give us a shout if you want any details, its also on the website there, chriswhitehead.ca, check that out.  If you want you can always give us a call at Macdonald Realty Olympic, 604-590-2444.  Again, I am Steve Karrasch, I work with Chris Whitehead & Associates and we'll see you next week.

Only 4 Expiries, but the worst news of all, for sellers, not for buyers but for sellers is guess what, no sales, seven days and nothing. I went back 14 days to find the only sale in all of Cloverdale town homes over at Rosebury.  Looks like the buyers got a good price over there, the place looks absolutely fabulous by checking out the listing. But, 111 active listings buyers. Buyers! Buyers! Buyers! what more do you need? come on lets go check them out.
