How do I buy a home in New Westminster or Burnaby?

Start by getting mortgage pre-approval so you know your real budget. Then view homes in person and compare them against what has recently sold nearby rather than against other asking prices. Once you have found one, you make a written offer subject to conditions such as financing and a home inspection. Vallee Real Estate Group walks buyers through this in New Westminster and Burnaby every week.

What should I check before buying a condo in Burnaby?

Read the depreciation report, the contingency reserve fund and the strata meeting minutes. These tell you what the monthly fee is likely to do over the next five years and whether a special assessment is coming. Two towers a block apart can differ by a hundred thousand dollars on floor, view and orientation alone.

A half duplex is one half of a two unit building on a shared lot, usually with its own entrance and yard. In New Westminster it is often the most affordable way to get a house with outdoor space.
