Wilson Su - Real Estate Advisor Making real estate fun and easy again. Buying or selling a home is a pivotal event in most people’s lives and, for many, a very emotional one.

It marks a transition from one period of time in a family’s life to another. For the Seller it means letting go of a place that day-by-day has influenced, even defined their lives and, so, no price tag can fully reflect that home’s value. For the Buyer, it is a moment of new beginnings, a fresh start on a future that did not exist before the purchase was made. I have heard clients say that one of the most exhilarating nights of their lives was the first night they spent in their new home. So I quickly came to realize that we’re not in the real-estate business – we’re in the experience business. That, in a very meaningful way, we change the quality and the direction of people’s lives.

Mid-Autumn is tonight. Round moon, round cake, round table: the festival asks for three round things, and only one of them is easy to arrange.

A lot of the families I work with will spend this evening on a video call at an awkward hour, half the table in Vancouver and half of it fifteen hours ahead.

You cut the cake here, they cut theirs there, and the moon does the work of being in both places at once.

Nineteen years of moving people has taught me that a home is mostly a table with enough room around it.

Some of the best evenings I have been invited to were not closings. They were a first Mid-Autumn in a new place, boxes still stacked in the hallway, everyone eating standing up.

However far apart yours sets tonight, I hope it feels full.

中秋節快樂.

A lot of older houses here were heated by oil, and the tank was buried in the garden. The furnaces got converted decades ago. The tanks mostly stayed where they were.

Here is the part people miss: it comes with the title. Buy the house and the tank is yours, along with any oil that leaked out of it, whether or not anyone knew it was there.

Lifting a clean tank runs two to three thousand dollars. One North Vancouver owner paid $85,000 for one that had leaked, and worse numbers than that exist.

A scan before you write the offer is the cheapest part of the whole transaction. If you are looking at an older house, ask for one.

Since January 2023 almost every home purchase in British Columbia has come with a three business day right to walk away. It has a name — the Home Buyer Rescission Period.

Weekends and holidays do not count, and neither you nor the seller can waive it.

It is not free. If you use it, you pay the seller 0.25% of the purchase price — $2,500 on a million dollar home.

It is also not a substitute for doing the work properly. Read the documents, get the inspection, ask the questions. But the right is yours, and the time to know you have it is before the week you need it.

Mount Pleasant was built on a creek. It ran down what is now Main Street, and in 1888 a brewer dammed it to turn his mill.

Others followed him. By the turn of the century four breweries were working along the water, and the neighbourhood was known as Brewery Creek.

Then the city grew over it. The creek was culverted, the east end of False Creek was filled in, and the water went under the pavement for good.

A century later the breweries came back to the same few blocks. Most people drinking there have no idea they are standing on the reason.

Happy Labour Day weekend! 🍁

The long weekend is when a lot of people start thinking about fall — including what’s next for their home. September is historically one of the busiest stretches of the Vancouver market, so if a move is on your mind, now’s a good time to start the conversation.

But that’s for Tuesday. This weekend, take the time off. You’ve earned it.

A LOW FEE IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD NEWS
Two buildings, same street. One charges $380 a month, the other $850. Most people assume the first one is the better buy.

Then you read the documents. The cheaper building has almost nothing in reserve and has not touched its roof in twenty years.

The dearer one has money set aside and its balconies already done. The work gets paid for either way.

The only question is whether it is collected quietly over time, or arrives one morning as a special levy.

If you are comparing two places and one has a noticeably lower fee, that is not the end of the comparison. It is the start of it.

YOUR ASSESSMENT IS ALREADY OUT OF DATE

The assessment that lands in your mailbox in January values your home as of the first of July the year before.

By the time you are sitting in a spring negotiation waving it around, that number is nearly a year old.

A home on the roll at $900,000 might be worth $850,000 by then.

Or $960,000. The roll does not know yet — it follows the market, and it follows it late.

It is a tax figure, not a price. Useful for what it is, and not the thing you should be arguing about.

I don’t want a perfect relationship, I just want us to never give up on each other.

I may annoy you or make mistakes.

But loving you was never a mistake. Despite all our downs, despite all my faults, I will always try to be better for you.

Because I don’t want to lose you, because you deserve the best and I want to be the one to give that to you.

I love you and want to have you by my side for the rest of my life, because for me you are more than enough.

Happy Anniversary Babe.
