Log house for sale? Who’s buying?
– moneysense.ca
The ice cold arctic. Home to the rough and ready—and the backdrop to a number of popular reality TV shows including three of my favourites Gold Rush, Deadliest Catch and Yukon Men. (Others include: Ice-Road Truckers, Alaska-The Final Frontier, Escaping Alaska, Bering Sea Gold (aka: the angriest gold miners on planet earth), Alaska Monsters, Wild West Alaska (on Animal Planet), Railroad Alaska and Edge of Alaska.)
Enter one more: Yukon For Sale.
The show is less day-to-day survival and more about enduring the house hunt in one of Canada’s remotest provinces. Not a bad premise given how difficult it is to come up with an original concept when it comes to real estate reality TV shows. (Added feature: Canadian Country music singer George Canyon narrates this wild real estate ride that takes viewers out into the middle of North America’s untamed wilderness.)
Premiering Saturday, June 13 at 9 p.m. EST (6 p.m. PST) the 30-minute show follows house hunting Yukoners, both native and newbies to the north, who are in search of unique properties to satisfy their northern living needs…
When was the last time you read a pseudo-bureaucratic report that used the term gobsmacked? Well, that’s the term the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) used to describe the overwhelming reaction by the masses to the “rapid acceleration in home prices” in Metro Vancouver from 2002 to 2008.Yep. Gobsmacked. And it’s actually quite appropriate. Prior to my visit this year, I just couldn’t understand how anyone would fork out north of $1-million for an outdated tear-down on a small lot. (I guess that’s how non-Torontonians feel about my home town’s real estate market.)
But after a brief visit—and lots of visual inspections—I can finally appreciate why: Land scarcity. There just not making any more land out there on the west coast.
And this is the focal point of a new BCREA report—and the counter-point to why foreign investors really aren’t the problem in Vancouver.
According to the BCREA, the data and analysis of sales from a number of sources show that foreign investment insufficiently impacts the Metro Vancouver market, “save for a small segment of luxury homes…
