Hi Neighbour!

Let’s hope the old adage is correct: that these April showers will bring May flowers. We would like to send a big thank you to all who came out to our favourite Spring tradition: our Easter Egg Hunt. It was our biggest ever and we hope to see you join us next year.

We have another invite for you: this Thursday we will be hosting a Wine and Cheese Open House for two very special Westlynn properties. These stunning brand new homes have everything a Lynn Valley family needs: fantastic location, elegant design and unbeatable backyards. Join us from 6:30-8:30 April 12 at 2857 Crestlynn Drive and 2133 Floralynn Crescent .

Local Real Estate Update
Like most of the region, prices in Lynn Valley are holding fairly steady. Regionally there was a 0.4% increase over February 2018 and this is a 7.4% increase over March of last year for detached homes. However, throughout the region there was a 29% decrease in the number of homes sold over March 2017 with attached townhomes and condominiums seeing the most transactions. Lynn Valley has seen a slight increase in the prices of attached homes and this is reflected regionally. 

The uncertainty around new financing rules and the recent changes announced in the budget are reducing transactions. Despite this, fairly-priced, quality homes are still selling. If you want to make a move this may be a good time as certain sellers may be more motivated with transactions taking longer than we have become accustomed to.
