The Vancouver Connection

Hey Guys - would love some advice here, I purchased a pre-sale which is set to close in March. First time buyer, so PTT exempt, 5% GST (rebate of 1.8%) - I'm curious at what other closing costs I'd be facing, 3.2% GST + Notary Costs - anything else? Do I only need to get a notary? or is a lawyer needed as well to help me close? Also, when should I start shopping for a mortgage? I will be putting down 20%, I can put down more but I feel there is no need, any advice? Thanks so much!

Thanks man!

Can anyone here give me some sales figures on Condo's sold in North Van. Specifically, Condo's sold in the hamilton area - looking at comps for 733 west 3rd (The Shore) project. Thanks.

why?

If you're too broke to actually keep your AC - don't buy it. Don't abuse the system, cause you ruin it for honest people. I have a costco membership - I don't purchase a 60" TV for the superbowl and return it the next day - get a life.

Stop being a cheap &^@#.

i would trade hunter and the 6th in a heartbeat for #1

this guy is 100% trolling.

haha fuck this thread is hilarious. the OP feels like he's owed the world cause he went to SFU. reality check, no one cares. no one owes you anything. with that attitude you'll be making my coffee at starbucks.

bye season

kesler is now UNTRADEABLE AT THE DRAFT. frack sakes.

LOL at anyone that buys this crock of BS. Don't be a fool and DO NOT renew.

LOL

gillis is a fat lard.

Mike Gillis can suck a fat one!!

all of the people posting are fanboys and have never played the game at a competitive level. everyone knows if you're going to hit a star you have to be ready to fight, it's simple. i'm not condoning thornton's actions but NONE of this would of happened if Orpik simply dropped the gloves. How come every time someone dishes a huge hit they're ready to fight? because it's an unwritten rule in hockey. if you've played the game, you know. if you've never played the game you wouldn't understand.

Orpik's a feline. He should of fought after laying out Ericsson and it would be over. Don't cheap hit stars if you don't want to fight.

kassian is a pylon.

was on vacation for 6 weeks. lost my damn gains. so rattttled.

cypress is so overrated for the price you pay. i'd rather dish the extra cash and go to whistler aka a real mountain.

I LOVE SNOW! come on snow gods. 50 ???? CMs!
