8 factors that really mess up Vancouver’s real estate prices
– moneysense.ca
(Barrett & MacKay/Getty Images)Vancouver’s real estate market is messed up. It’s really messed up. As a result it’s attracted a lot of attention. From media reports, to provincial scrutiny, to self-regulatory board actions, Canada’s most expensive real estate market is under the proverbial microscope. But what do we know for sure? Here’s a round-up of eight factors that are helping to push prices through the stratosphere in Vancouver and the lower mainland.
Factor #1. Foreign buyers
It’s not very Canadian to discuss the impact of immigration, particularly if it’s negative. But the truth is the Vancouver real estate market has felt the impact of foreign money—in particular, money from rich foreigners. Much of this money comes from mainland China. Also not a very Canadian thing to say. But it’s true. How do we know? Because the phenomenon has been tracked, studied and recorded—and not just in Vancouver.
Data collected by David Ley shows how, over the last few decades, metro Vancouver has become similar to other Pacific Rim “gateway” cities, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, London and Sydney…

NYSE moving to delist Aeropostale
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Aeropostale says trading of its shares on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended and that the exchange is moving to delist it.
The troubled teen retailer announced Friday that the NYSE has decided to start proceedings to delist its stock because of an “abnormally low” trading price.
Aeropostale Inc. said that it doesn’t plan to appeal the delisting determination and will start trading Friday on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol “AROP.”
Last month Aeropostale announced that it was looking at several strategic options, including selling itself or restructuring the New York-based company. The chain has been struggling with falling sales for several years as more teens flock to so-called “fast-fashion stores” such as H&M and Forever 21.
