Vancouver Real Estate Market

During the summer, everything moves at a more relaxed pace; looking at the latest statistics from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, it would appear the Vancouver real estate market is no exception.  The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports that this time of year is traditionally slow, yet sellers should not be deterred.  While sales of detached, attached and apartment properties have dropped by an average of 30.4% since June 2009, they have increased by a considerable 23.6% from June 2008.  Furthermore, the benchmark price for all residential Vancouver real estate increased by 11.8% from June 2009.  The report indicates that the Vancouver real estate market remains healthy – maintaining its strong post-recession sales without the record-breaking numbers of earlier this year.   EPUA2KQCZKND

Grace at 1280 Richards

Among the new real estate listings to recently hit the market is a condo in the Grace Residence at 1280 Richards St.  The Richards at Drake location is among the most convenient in the downtown Vancouver area.  Two blocks from the Canada Line, commuting to and from the downtown core or Vancouver airport is a breeze.  Choices Market down the street gives this area a feeling of community, and the many restaurants and shops nearby will satisfy any taste. 

The award-winning Grace features gorgeous exterior architecture matched by impeccable interior design.  Arches adorn a plant-lined breezeway which leads up to a lobby that, like all common areas in the building, requires fingerprint access.  Among these amenities are an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, an exercise room, and an outdoor play area for children.
