Isinumite ng noong Disyembre 8, 2010 – 8:55 pm2 Komento

Namin kamakailan-lamang na nai-post tungkol sa Vancouver’s escalating housing prices and the number of people moving to Vancouver for thelifestylerather than for work.

But if it’s a jobrather than a search for investment propertythat’s bringing you to Vancouver, how are you going to find a reasonably-priced place to live?


Renting a home

Anyone relocating to a new cityor countrywould do well to magrenta bago bumili ka. That’s good advice for newcomers to Vancouver, masyado.

If you’re looking for a short-term rental, particularly a furnished home, subukan ang University of British Columbia Faculty Association’s housing classifieds. While many of the properties would be suitable for visiting faculty or other professionals, you don’t have to be affiliated with the university to access the listings.

Other sites that list short-term rentals in Vancouver, araw-araw, linggo, o buwan, ay AirBnB at Gumawa ng iyong sarili Sa Home.

Kung hindi, Vancouver Craigslist is the king of local rental listings, at iba pang mga mga rental mapagkukunan isama Kijiji at ang Vancouver apartment Guide.

Don’t forget good old-fashioned shoe leatherwalking around the neighborhoods where you want to live. Look forFor rentsigns, o check the bulletin boards of the local coffee shops, laundromats, at unibersidad.

Isa iba pang mga tip para sa renters: Sa BC, the security (damage) deposit cannot be more than half a month’s rent.

Buying a home

When you’re ready to buy a home in the Vancouver area, start by researching neighborhoods around town.

Ang isang magandang lugar upang simulan ang City of Vancouver’s Community Profiles pahina, which has links to profiles of 23 different neighborhoods. Home prices on the East Side of Vancouver are significantly cheaper than those on the West Side.

Ayon sa Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, bilang ng Hulyo 2013, a detached house on Vancouver’s East Side was averaging $844,600, while a detached house on the West Side averaged just over $2 milyon. Nang katulad, East Side apartments and condos were selling for an average price of $306,500, habang sa West Side, the average was $476,000.

Ngunit maaaring gusto mong consider the suburbs if you’re looking for a less expensive home. Bilang maaari mong asahan, prices tend to drop the further you go from downtown.

Some of the suburban communities with the lowest average home prices include Maple Ridge ($460,600), Pitt Meadows ($505,600), at Port Coquitlam ($550,400). Just be prepared for a long commute if you work in downtown Vancouver.

Most Vancouver-area homes for sale are listed on Realtylink.org. Realtylink also has aFind a Realtor” seksyon, but the best way to find a real estate agent is to ask friends or colleagues for recommendations.

    Good old-fashioned shoe leatheris great advice for finding a place to rent. Where I live in Kitsilano, a hip Vancouver neighbourhood, landlords don’t need to advertise in print or online. So many people want to live here that word of mouth and lawn signs do the trick.

    Ang pinakamahusay na payo ay para lakarin (o drive) ang hood sa simula ng buwan bago gusto mong magrenta, or a week or two before the previous month’s end, at hanapin para sa Para sa mga palatandaan Rent. They don’t stay up for long.
