Hello this is Sandra Solomon. Your local realtor at Vancouver
Recently many places in the world are affected by Omicon
It's not exceptional to Vancouver
The government has launched many social gathering bans and regulations
affecting our daily life
How does these regulations affect the Vancouver real estate market
The most affected are the pre-construction projects
Due to pandemic and restrictions, many developers delayed the launch
Some were said to release in December or January, are now delayed to February
leading to limited choices in the market
Yet the demand did not decrease, but increase, therefore prices go up
Let me give you a real life example
Recently there is a townhouse project in Surrey
On Friday, I bought a client to visit a four bed townhouse, and we got the price
On Saturday, I bought another client to the same floor plan, same townhouse
And found the developer increase the price by $20,000
I am shocked. The market now is really how, as there aren't many listings
Therefore now I would suggest to people, if you are ready and really want to buy a property
Wait no more, now is the time to get into the market
Today I am introducing a project developed by Polygon
located at Burquitlam, Coquitlam
Very nice, facing the spacious park view
Most importantly, its price is fixed but not a variable price
Let me show you the project
This is the location of Cardinal, at Cottonwood Avenue
a very quiet residential area
There is a spacious Cottonwood Park at its South
7 minutes walking distance to Burquitlam station
The YMCA centre is currently under construction, also very near to Cardinal
There are many recreational facilities, including swimming pool, gym and yoga studio
There are also many courses such as dancing and singing
There are also Primary and Secondary school nearby, therefore it's very convenient
Let's have a look at the showroom
This is floor plan E, 2 bed 2 bath, 966sq. ft.
this is a popular floor plan
From all Polygon properties I sold, this floor plan is the most popular one
This is the kitchen, Cottonwood color scheme
Cabinet is white, countertop is white
If you don't like, you can choose another color scheme, with a wood color cabinet
But many people love white now
As you can see, refrigerator, gas stove, range hood , oven
here is the microwave
for the built in microwave, the developer provide upgrade option for$825
Then there are two sinks, place for chopping, and spacious countertop area
dishwasher
This is the living room and dining room
As this is a corner lot, there are row of windows
very bright
this side also have windows
Therefore I really recommend this floor plan
Let's take a look at the master bedroom
Master bedroom has a king size bed, with bed side cupboards
ceiling height is 9"
with walk in closet
a typical Polygon property, with 2 sinks
The showroom only included living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom
It does not show the other bedroom
But you can refer to the floor plan, this is for your to have a feel of the design and material
Beware that the kitchen has a dropped ceiling
To hide the pipes
The property uses baseboard heater
No air conditioner. What you can do is to purchase a portable AC
There is actually benefit, as the strata fee would be much cheaper
There are actually not many days you would like an AC in Vancouver
Therefore you can consider to be more flexible. You can purchase an AC if you really feel hot
There is only one E unit left. You have to act fast
Located here. Facing North. With snow mountain view
Pros is there aren't people above the balcony
and no people above living and dining room. Like a penthouse
except you don't have to pay a penthouse price
Therefore this is really favourable. Price is $819,900
Until today, Jan 13, it is $819,900
But the developer says the price will soon be raised, as this is a popular floor plan
Contact me now if you are interested
Let me recommend you another floor plan, unit F
918 sq. ft. 2 bed 2 bath
Reason I recommend is because there are still penthouse and subpenhouse unit
At this corner
unit faces South, there will be Conttonwood Park at South
Spacious park view, no blocks, and also facing South
This is a nice unit, level 5 and level 6 are available, level 6 is the top floor
F unit on level 5 is $839,900
F unit on level 6 is $869,900
this is fixed price, not starting price, if you buy now this is what you have to pay
level 6 is $869,900. Level 5 is $839,900
There are also homes available at around $700,000, Floor plan C
Floor plan C, 839 sq. ft. Very suitable for friends with dogs and cats
As it is stituated on the ground level, you don't have to take an elevator
This unit
Price is $739,900. The cheapest 2 bed unit, on ground floor
There are also non-ground floor unit that is $739,900
Floor plan D, 2 bed 2 bath, 863 sq ft
