Lawyers like it old school because there is less competition that way.
There is no link, it is a piece of paper stuck on a board at the Law Courts every morning in the form of hearings for that day.. you see what you like, you pay cash (usually via a lawyer), the item that is being foreclosed is yours. Obviously no warranty, no cool down period etc etc. Quote:

You need to be 33x108 at the current rules I think.. but they are looking into changing the rules yet again.. also there are areas that you can't build coach houses. Quote:

| AFAIK Coach houses = carriage houses.. the word came from the time when there are horses.. the houses above the stalls are those houses. Quote:

From Building your laneway house - City of Vancouver: Quote: |
A laneway house is a smaller, detached home located where the garage would normally go on a single-family lot.

So you bought early and rode the wave. Good move. You also bought really young.
Parental help?

Parental help? | Yes we did have some help from our parents on our first purchase.
But my wife and I aren't like your typical Vancouverites - those that need to get a new car every 4 years, eat out at fancy restaurants on a regular basis, go on trips several times per year, etc. As a result, we were very aggressive with paying off our mortgage.
Although our current/upcoming mortgage will be much larger than our first mortgage, our lifestyle hasn't changed, and we will have a 2 br basement rental suite.

You can build a laneway house on any lot 33 feet or wider in an RS-1 or RS-5 single family zone.
| good to know info. i've seen some properties that are 29-32 ft in width

Does anyone have a resource for learning about both current zoning in BC and the process for rezoning?
I plan on buying some property when things get back to normal level (5 years away?) and build my dream home, and perhaps build some other homes, and would like to educate myself on that stuff - I'm comfortable on the high level economics, but am not in the details at all yet

That's what I used when I researched a couple months ago, in the 416 anyways.

This site has a brief insight on all the zoning codes currently in the City of Vancouver.
For a map of current zoning: http://vancouver.ca/files/cov/Zoning-Map-Vancouver.pdf
As you can see, say if you want to buy somewhere in Mount Pleasant once prices are corrected and want to put in a single family home, it would be difficult to try to rezone your plot as everywhere around you are RT-5/6 and they might not allow just a single-family home there. I don't have too much info on how the actual process is in Vancouver, as my parents rezoned their land, but that was in Richmond and it was fairly painless as the area they are in was already getting rezoned (neighbours and what not).

Right now is all about interest rate and the economy. Since election is due in 2015 AND the US feds have already signaled they won't raise interest rate until end of 2014. I think the market will go up cautiously until after the Federal election in 2015.. unless something drastic like earthquake.. Actually I think more meltdown in Europe will increase real estate prices in Canada in general since there will be higher capital flight.

Can't be inflating prices forever, no one is going to do anything real if you know it's going to end soon. Look at the QE in the states, stock market at all time highs but so are food stamps? I understand the gov't is raking in higher taxes but it's just driving away business and the only people making money are in real estate
