Hello Rein Members,
I own a 2 bedroom / 2 bath condo in Port Coquitlam, BC. (Vancouver) 3 years old. At it`s peak it would have sold for $285,000. Now I would get $255,000. $5,000 less than than I paid for it. My realtor told me if I don`t sell in the next 6 months I could be living in it for the next 2 years. I could rent it out at a loss of about $200 a month. Considering refinancing at a lower rate to get positive cash flow. Haven`t rented out a space yet. A little nervous.
Do you think prices are going to go down another 10% and how soon would they recover? The crystal ball question. To consider: 75 condos on the market in downtown Port Coquitlam. That is a lot. 70,000 people a year are moving to Vancouver each year. We are 35 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Fairly close. There is a skytrain that will take you there from here.
I would like to give a shot at renting it out.
What would you do?
