    So glad to have you back Observer. Any chance you could spotlight the Tri-Cities as I noticed that they didn’t make it onto this Burbs list. Specifically, I’ve been following the development in Burke Mountain and am curious if sales are strong or dropping like everywhere else.

    Thanks for the consideration, looking forward to your next post.

  2. Re-diculous January 29, 2014 at 4:26 pm

    Welcome back! I missed You

  3. Craig Sterling January 29, 2014 at 4:34 pm

    Echoing Chingon with my thanks… and a request for you to take a look at the gulf islands some time if you can find the time. Great to have you back, and thank you again.

  4. Aman Gupta January 29, 2014 at 5:34 pm

    It is so nice to have you back. I follow this post as my favourite. Keep it up!

  5. anon January 29, 2014 at 6:41 pm

    Most asking prices are below assessments in the suburbans!

    But in Vancouver/richmond/Burnaby are still way over assessments.

  6. Leomoner January 29, 2014 at 11:40 pm

    Welcome back! We really missed you! Keep up the good work

  7. CM January 31, 2014 at 4:10 pm

    Have a look at this place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-lGwHEwiDI
    it started i think at 4M and just got listed today for 2M. What a mess.

  8. Star February 4, 2014 at 6:00 pm

    I really enjoy getting your emails. Thank you so much for doing this. I left Vancouver Island a couple of years ago for better employment in Northern Alberta but do plan on heading back to BC at some point. Love keeping up with what’s going on real estate wise.
