Three Strikes and You’re Out
If Vancouver’s East Side real estate market were a major league baseball game in which the bases were loaded, you can imagine that the boys in the dug out are standing on their toes waiting for the final pitch. The batter wonders – will the next pitch result in a home run or the last swing in the final inning.

It’s amazing to me how your market can turn on a dime.

BC is notorious for doing the same to politicians.
To my eye-and I watch the Tri-cities-all the same crappy houses that come up every year or so are on the market-along with a few who are reaching for the stars.
All the beat up rentals, former grow ops and misfit properties are the ones I see in my area. Out here it seems even the flippers know prices can’t stay like this.
