MY MISSION

"Bradley Wattum is my agent. He stepped up as a salesman, worked very hard and got my house sold for a good price. One can't go wrong enlisting him as listing agent. Great agent and a friend."
by John"We have worked with Bradley as our realtor in 2014 purchasing our first home and the experience was excellent so when we decided to sell in 2017 the decision to contact Brad again was easy to make. His professionalism and easy going personality make you feel comfortable through every step of the buying/selling process and not once did we feel pressured to make any decisions we were not comfortable with. Bradley was able to get us in contact with a mortgage broker and home inspector that have both saved us money and enabled us to purchase the home we desired in the neighborhood we have started our family in. If you are looking for someone you can feel 100% confident in them we would highly recommend contacting Bradley."
by Mark & Tomo"I had an outstanding experience when purchasing my first home and cannot thank Bradley enough for his professional help. Bradley guided me through every step, laid out everything very clearly and gave great advice. I especially appreciated Bradley’s non-pressure approach, his patience, and him giving his honest opinion about each place that we viewed. Thanks to his knowledge and experience, I found my perfect home in my desired location and within my budget. I feel very fortunate to have him as my realtor, and it was a pleasure to work with him. I would highly recommend Bradley to anyone."
by Sigrid"We have known Bradley for over 10 years. He has assisted us with the purchase and sale of several properties, including a townhouse and condominium, as well as the most recent purchase of a home in Kerrisdale, as well as the sale of our home in Arbutus. Bradley is always very professional, prompt and answers all of our questions fully and without delay. He cares, understands our requirements, and consistently meets our expectations when either selling or buying a home. We would use Bradley’s services again in the future. Thanks Bradley!"
by Anna and James"Bradley was hard working and very prompt with his service.He was courteous and professional in every aspect. I will definitely recommend him as a Realtor and now consider him my Realtor for future dealings."

Seasonal slowdown brings price stability to Metro Vancouver
As summer winds to a close, higher borrowing costs have begun to permeate the Metro Vancouver housing market in predictable ways, with price gains cooling and sales slowing along the typical seasonal pattern.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 2,296 in August 2023, a 21.4 per cent increase from the 1,892 sales recorded in August 2022. This was 13.8 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,663).
There were 3,943 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in August 2023. This represents an 18.1 per cent increase compared to the 3,340 homes listed in August 2022. This was 5.3 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (4,164).
The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 10,082, a 0.2 per cent decrease compared to August 2022 (10,099). This was 13.4 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (11,647).
Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for August 2023 is 23.9 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 14.2 per cent for detached homes, 30.3 per cent for townhomes, and 31.9 per cent for apartments.
