Indian Arm summer parties

September 16th, 2010
Boating & Partying with friends on The Indian Arm is what makes summertime in Vancouver so special.

607 ALDERSON Ave, Sale,Coquitlam, British Columbia

September 2nd, 2010
I just sold this House at 607 ALDERSON Ave, Coquitlam, British Columbia Coquitlam West. It was interesting for me to see what impact bedroom configuration has on price. This older home had only 1 bedroom on the main floor & 2 bedrooms down. The impact of only 1 bedroom on the main level for a family home was big. Most buyers wanted at least 2 bedrooms up so the lucky buyer of this property di ...
