North Shore Real Estate Market and Helpful Hints
The North Shore offers the best of both worlds. Close to downtown Vancouver and to some of the finest recreational pursuits in the world. Skiing at Whistler, Grouse, Cypress or Seymour, golfing at Seymour, Northlands, Capilano or Furry Creek. The best mountain biking and hiking - even the famous Grouse Grind, salmon fishing in our ocean and rivers and, not to mention, the most beautiful setting to do it in, in the world.
As a result, the real estate tends to be very stable through good and bad economies - not like the outlying suburbs of Vancouver.
