Richmond is appealing because of proximity to amenities (chinese supermarkets, restaurants, friends and acquaintainces, and the airport). That said, there many chinese also choose not to live in Richmond precisely because of the concentration of chinese there. South Surrey is easy drive from Richmond on 99 whereas West Van is less accessible. I am ethnically Chinese, 8 years in South Surrey.

So when prices increase in West Van it's due to Chinese buyers...when it decreases, there's no Chinese buyers but they all flocked to Richmond? Regarding the 5:56pm response

So when prices increase in West Van it’s due to Chinese buyers…when it decreases, there’s no Chinese buyers but they all flocked to Richmond?

Any clue why Richmond can fetch that much money still amid the slowdown in the real estate market here???
