ONLY TWO HOMES ARE LEFT IN THIS EXTRAORDINARY NEIGHBORHOOD!

Wallmark Homes is proud to announce that we are nearing completion on our Birchwood Estates project in the Foothills. Coquitlam’s newest master-planned community set in the natural surroundings of Burke Mountain has proven to be a winner from the very start. Birchwood Estates is one of the most sought after and highly desirable neighborhoods in the Greater Vancouver area, featuring rare estate sized lots and exceptionally constructed homes using Green Built Technology.

At Wallmark Homes, we excel in using the latest technology available to create homes that are better for you and better for the environment. By using eco-friendly materials and reducing the environmental footprint of home construction, we can enjoy cleaner indoor air, fewer gas emissions and substantial energy savings on utilities like water and electricity without compromising on amenities, comfort or design.

Surrounded by lush, protected greenbelt amidst the natural treed landscape of the foothills, only two homes remain in this one-of-a-kind community. If you desire a vacation-like setting within convenient reach of the city, Birchwood Estates is the perfect location for your new home. From the open and airy, state-of-the-art kitchens to the elegantly appointed master en-suites, no detail was overlooked in the construction of this gorgeous 4,320 sf Alder Floorplan by Wallmark Homes.

The team at Wallmark Homes is always on the lookout for the latest information and news to share about the housing industry for both builders and buyers in Vancouver. We recently came across a couple of interesting articles we felt were worth sharing with you that discuss predictions for Vancouver’s housing market for the upcoming year.

Amidst what appears to be a strengthening economy, comes a welcome 2011 forecast for Canadian Housing in from the folks at Royal LePage Real Estate Services. In an article released on January 6th,  they quote Phil Soper, president and chief executive of Royal LePage Real Estate Services, as saying “Trends in the housing market continue to be driven by the lingering after-effects of the recession. Canadians realize that interest rates are unsustainably low and that homes will become effectively more expensive when mortgage rates return to normal levels. We will likely see more price appreciation in 2011 as some buyers complete transactions in advance of anticipated higher borrowing costs.” According to the release, Vancouver home prices are expected to increase 3.7% this year with inventory growth at 8%.

Additionally, the January issue of New Home Guide boasts a headline of Vancouver House Prices Continue to Rise. Citing the same release from Royal LePage, they mention that the biggest gain in house prices came from single-family homes on Vancouver’s West Side with average price gains on two story homes at 9.8% over the same period last year. Condos are also performing astonishingly well on Vancouver’s East Side with an average gain of 7% resulting in an average sales price of $484,500.
