He added: “This year's record number indi- cates an ever increasing inter- est in West Vancouver, the lifestyle, the views, the small town feeling in a high quality setting.” Friday, October 11, 1996 — North Shore News - 94 Sussex Realty Group sold over 78 million dollars worth of realestate in West Vancouver te June of this year, making it the top pro- ducing company in’ West Vancouver according — to Multiple Listing Statistics (all together, Sussex offices sold 150 million dollars worth of properties on the North Shore year to date). “Surprisingly this year, a fot of the buyers are lock stock bro- kers, traders and other Vancouverites looking for a better quality of life and a bet- ter upside potential.” Twenty-two — waterfront houses changed hands in the first six months of 1996 onnaires on est Van whereas only six sales took place for the same period last year, A 3/4 acre lot that sold for $640,000 in April 1992 resold for $1,030,000. this & year, “The biggest gain wage: realized by a buyer that paid 1.8 million for a waterfront property in the spring of 1995 and re-sold it for 3 million in June of 1996,” added Taylor. “In our view West Vancouver is really being re- discovered. I predict even bet- ter times ahead. The current craziness with the 2nd Narrows Bridge will put the issue of a new transportation link to the forefront. In my view, the building of a new bridge is now inevitable.” Builders’ group now on internet BC Home Builders now have a pres- ence on the internet.
