Key Points

[1:00] What is the best advice you ever got as a Realtor?

Don’t speculate with your family home. 
Be careful, don’t risk your house. 

[2:40] What is going on in Deep Cove today?

Both tourism and residential growth have skyrocketed. 
The district is looking to control traffic and parking but I don’t think they will be able to find a perfect fit. 
If you’re planning to live in Deep Cove, just be aware that it is a popular spot for tourists and others from around the Lower Mainland to spend the day. 

[4:30] Any development going on? 

Cove Gardens was built a couple of years ago. 
Cates Landing project is almost done phase one. 
Over the next 5 years, you will see around 5 new developments. 
Townhouses are doing very well. The current minimum is a 1,000,000. Over the last 5-6 years, they have doubled in value. 

[7:30] What areas of Deep Cover are in demand? 

It depends on the person. If you want the village feel the Cove is a great spot. If you want to be alone the outskirts can be a great place for peace and quiet. 

[8:10] How is the market?

Deep Cove has a very limited inventory right now. It’s not hard to sell. 

[9:00]  What are your predictions for 2019?

Housing will continue to be the biggest political issue. 
Population growth is going to keep growing.
