Al0O - Sunday, April 25, 1982 - North Shore News Inquiring reporter id by Ellsworth Dickson Even people who don’t care for hockey are catching Canuck fever with their spectacular performances winning over the Los Angeles Kings. Today’s question is: ‘‘What do you think of the Vancouver Canucks?” Ron Aspe North Vancouver 1 think goaltender Brodeur is doing = an exceptional job. I don't think the wins were just luck.

But when pressed for details, most of them also admit that “prices are still coming down.” Smaller, older homes — considerably better, however, than some of last years $120,000 shacks — have actually sold in West Van dunng the past month for as little as $95,000. And a= glance at the weekend real estate ads shows plenty of very respectable-looking _ three- bedroom West Van homes with an asking price well below the survey's suggested $180,000 for that type of property. Moreover, in many of the still imited number of sales being completed, the asking price is reportedly being slashed by anywhere from 15 to 25 per cent — depending on its Original level. Activity may be increasing but all the indications suggest it’s due to smart bargain-hunters gradually returning to the market before it at last bottoms out. Even the most optimistic real estate sales people are offering no bets on exactly when that final stage in the shake-up will be reached. Their only point of general agreement is that it’s a tncky time to be selling Were you lucky? Winning numbers in the April 21 draw of the Western Express lottery were, $10,000: 1896652, 3369711. 2122740, 2534243, 2379104. $100,000: 3524389, 2257458, 2990962, 1770654, 1970396. bounded 197) PreSchool =.

Until they begin to show a steady downward trend (the op posite, unfortunately, of their present pattern) a major recovery seems problematic. Nevertheless, psycholog- ical factors also can't be discounted. Once house prices begin to show the shghtest upward movement, it could be a signal for the bargain-hunters who have left it a Ittle too late to start rushing in. That phenomenon has happened time and again in the history of the real estate market. And once a decisive turnaround begins, it tends to gather its own momentum — even though the heady selling days of 1980-81 are unlikely to return in this decade. Finally, vendors and the industry can atways cling to the abiding faith in the long term future of real estate investment expressed by Mark Twain when he said: “They ain't making it any more.” ...at the Waldorf School to “YOU'VE ACHIEVED A MINOR MIRACLE” J.H he qualified T instructors at Paul Murphy Tutornals have helped hundreds of students to emprove thew marks at school Your child will recerve individual instruction and intensive direction in your own home or in our centre We'll instruct virtually any subject at any level elementary, secondary of university Your child’s chances of attaining a passing mark at the end of the term will be enhanced through increased subject comprehension Call us now and ask about our reasonable rates SPECIAL MATH , CLINICS FOR STUDENTS WITH PROBLEMS THAT DON’T ADD UP.
