Dear Spring, we're patiently waiting...
Hi Neighbour!

Winter sure has made it's mark through February, I think we are all ready for the snow to fall on the mountains only and more warm sunny days to come our way.

Searching for crocuses and snowdrops can be egg-cellent practice for our upcoming annual Easter Egg Hunt! And if you haven't yet - don't forget to sign up for our promo with the Black Bear Pub!

There are lots of great events 'springing' up all over Lynn Valley, find out more below...

Local Real Estate Update
Will this Spring bring a busy real estate market? Homebuyer demand seems to depend on property type over the past few months. Apartment and attached homes continue to see strong demand across Metro Vancouver, while detached homebuyers are facing less competition at the moment.

That said, if fairly priced the average Lynn Valley detached home (especially if it has a mortgage helper) seems to have ample demand and can achieve multiple offers. This can be seen in the recent sale of 4110 Mountain Highway which sold with multiple and over the asking price.
