Selling Your Home - Real Estate for Seniors and Retirees in Lower Mainland Vancouver

These days inspectors use video drones with 4K video to inspect roofs (more thoroughly and safer than before). They use infrared cameras to check for heat distribution and to ensure the oven works properly.

And they’re still checking the attic, the insulation, the plumbing, and the electrical.

At some point Government intervention was inevitable and that some point is 2023.

In this episode we look at some of the new rules and procedures and explain what they mean to you as a buyer or seller.

There’s the new BC Homebuyer’s Rescission Period (the so called “Cooling Off” period). How does that work and does the timeline run concurrently with other subjects on a contract?

There are also several new disclosure requirements to mitigate “Bully Offers.”

And there’s the Ban on Foreign Homebuyers. What does it mean and how might it impact the Vancouver real estate market in 2023?

We also talk about steps being taken to crack down on money laundering.
