Update: A follow up email from MacBulk

MAC Bulk is in the news again! 10 months later and media is still covering how 700 of you had the fortitude to make the buying decision back in January 2009.

Where traditionally June, July, and August are typically the months people think more about vacationing then real estate, in 2009 these months posted the highest number of residential sale ever recorded. Home sales remained strong through September and October and in support of the actual statistics, Scott Russell, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) president said “High confidence and low mortgage rates are continuing to drive the activity we’re seeing in the housing market today.”

MAC Marketing Solutions is proud to collaborate with Cressey in offering a pre-sale opportunity that truly has unprecedented value.

Vancouver Real Estate Updates

It's been quiet in the MACBULK universe at the moment as I'm not receiving anything new from the mailings. Is it because the market is picking up and discounted new homes have been snapped up already? The past few months has been good for Vancouver real estate as more first-time buyers jump into the market and bought their first home. I just spoke lately with a realtor friend and they've been having a lot of business since May. It seems the historically low interest rate is one big factor for the increase. In my view, the coming imposition of the HST is affecting buyers to rush their home purchase as well.

Is it becoming a sellers market again? I don't think so. I think we're not gonna see the deep discount as in the previous months. The market it seems is becoming more even. It's not really a sellers market but is not a buyers either.

Rounding up the developments featured here:

Since this blog was started, I've compiled most of the offerings from the MacBulk team. I believe I missed some of them but to refresh the memories of everyone, even myself, I'm listing all of them here. I believe most have all been snapped up but some have units that are still available. Here are the properties and the link to each of them.

1. District Condos in South Main
2. The Carlyle and Whittaker in New Westminster
3. Mira Vista in the Okanagan
4. Keystone and Origin in Pitt Meadows
5. Paris Block Lofts in Vancouver
6. Alysen Place in Penticton
7. Amadeo in New Westminster
8. Cora Condos in Coquitlam, Legacy Condos in Burnaby, The Morgan in South Surrey, Edgebrook in Abbotsford

For those seeking a new home in the Vancouver area, there are lots of other available properties out there. Although I've mostly featured new developments from MACBulk, there's quite a lot of good opportunities as well from other developers and marketers. You should even look at pre-owned homes as some are definitely good values.

Keystone in Pitt Meadows and New Prices at Alysen Place in Penticton

UPDATE: I've added the latest mailing from Leo Wilk of MacBulk. Check it out below.

It’s been awhile since I place here the mailings I get from the good folks at MacBulk for the benefit of everyone especially those researching and planning to buy a new home. I recently purchased a new home and that took some of my time. Now, what about the latest email from the MacBulk team, Keystone and Alysen Place are still available? Both were initially put out a month or two ago. Honestly, I’m a bit surprised that they haven’t sold out yet. For everyone, please see below’s email about these properties. Take advantage now maybe it’s the property for you.

Keystone in Pitt Meadows (email from Mitchell Smith)

10 HOMES SOLD LAST MONTH!!

Take advantage of historically low interest rates and get into the market now. Top industry forecasters are predicting that prices will begin edging up as inventory continues to diminish (absorbed by the healthy appetite of those who recognize a unique opportunity in this market). With housing starts for 2009 approaching their lowest level in the province since 1962, low prices and inventory will not last.

So what’s stopping you? As you can see, we still have some excellent homes available and, all homes include GST and 2 parking stalls!

{Note – table with prices were not included as they break the layout of my blog. Please call the staff at MacBulk to get additional details about this property}

NEW PRICES AT ALYSEN PLACE!!!

This has been a busy week at Alysen Place! We recently reduced prices and have seen interest and sales jump significantly. In the past week we have written contracts on 5 homes. Alysen Place is already priced below the cost to build a concrete building and now price reductions have gone even further.

At MAC Bulk, we believe value is based on location, neighbourhood amenities, finishing and price as a whole package. We are sure that once you visit Alysen Place you will see how it's unmatched in Penticton.

WHY ALYSEN PLACE?

Alysen Place is located just a short stroll from Skaha Beach, shopping and services. Nothing is far from Alysen Place thanks to its convenient location to downtown Penticton, Hwy #97 (1km) and the airport (2.5 km).

REAL ESTATE MARKET CONTINUES TO CLIMB!

Now is a great time to invest in a condominium at significantly discounted prices; however, not all discount offerings are the same. One needs to know what makes one offering better than the other. Right now, Keystone in Pitt Meadows offers a great opportunity for condominium ownership. A few key factors elevate the Keystone offering:

· Remaining inventory at Keystone has been discounted to below both market and appraised value

· Keystone offers a building with a successful rental record in place. Invest in a new home with the peace of mind of stable revenue from secure leases

· Pitt Meadows location offers great value with excellent transportation connections to the Lower Mainland

It’s important to note that current strong demand is being fueled by low mortgage rates and high consumer confidence. However, this increased demand is resulting in rapidly diminishing supply throughout the Lower Mainland, and prices have been steadily increasing since Fall 08 lows. Click here for more information on our booming real estate market - the highest in 6 years!

So what’s stopping you? At MAC Bulk, we believe value is based on timing, location, neighbourhood amenities, finishing and price as a whole package. We are positive that once you visit Keystone, you will see how it outshines the competition in Pitt Meadows - and with prices starting at $279,900 for 1163 sf, owning has never been more affordable or easier. Click here for our buyers package or click here for our floorplans.

HOME SPACE TYPE HOME FEATURES! PRICE #101 Keystone 1505 sf Townhome Huge kitchen!! $329,900 #307 Keystone 946 sf 2 Bed Huge master bedroom! $289,900 #203 Keystone 1036 sf 2 Bed & Den 250 sf patio! $299,900 #422 Keystone 1163 sf 2 Bed Separate Living & Dining Room! $279,900 #411 Keystone 951 sf 2 Bed 14 ft vaulted ceilings and views! $299,900

MIRA Vista in the Okanagan

Once again the MacBulk team has a new offering in the Okanagan area. Like in the Alysen Place, this isn’t my area of interest. Just sharing with everyone the email from Allen Oram of the MacBulk team.

Mira Vista is from developer Renascence Devt. Corporation.

---- email below -----------

MIRA Vista Joins The MAC Bulk Program

The MAC Bulk Team is pleased to announce the addition of MIRA Vista to the MAC Bulk - Okanagan program.

MIRA Vista is a completed, low rise residential development located in West Kelowna (Westbank) and is ready for immediate occupancy. MIRA Vista offers stunning views of Okanagan Lake and the surrounding area and is just short walk to some of West Kelowna's best recreation, commercial and retail conveniences.

If you are looking for great real estate value in the Kelowna area, MIRA Vista is a must see. MIRA Vista includes comfortable, air conditioned homes, stainless steel appliances, 9' ceilings (with some up to 12') and generous living space in every home. To learn more about MIRA Vista call the MAC Bulk Team at 250.490.9900 in the Okanagan or 604.633.9988 in Vancouver.

The Question everyone is asking "Is now the right time to buy?"

At the prices we are selling MIRA Vista, we believe there is no better time to buy than right now! The market fundamentals are all indicating that now is the time to get back into the real estate market:

        1. Near record low interest rates

        2. Homes priced below replacement costs

        3. Lack of new home starts (Okanagan has the lowest new home starts in Canada).

But don't take our word for it; to see what the Okanagan real estate and financial professionals are saying.

In addition to MIRA Vista, the MAC Bulk program is pleased to continue sales of Alysen Place in Penticton - another great buying opportunity in the Okanagan.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to own fantastic Okanagan real estate at amazing values. Please call me with any questions about MIRA Vista or Alysen Place at 250.490.9900.

Both MIRA Vista and Alysen Place are open noon to 5pm daily (closed Fridays).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Alysen Place in Penticton, BC

Got another email from the MAC Bulk Sales Team, this time they’ve gone outside the Metro Vancouver area and into the Okanagan. Alysen Place in Penticton, BC is the newest offering from the MAC Bulk team.

Just like their Abbotsford offering, this one is outside of my territory of interest. Though, I would like to really have a place over in the Okanagan, I just don’t have the budget and resources at the moment to get myself a home there. Maybe, when it’s time for my retirement, … and that’s still quite a long time.

Anyhow, for those who’s in the lookout for bargain home in the beautiful Okanagan area, check Alysen Place as it might be the home you’ve been wanting to have.

Amadeo in New Westminster was one of the last successful receivership products in the lower mainland. Recent record breaking real estate statistics have indicated that the market is rebounding well and that we may soon be out of this recession and as a result see no future receivership sales.

That said, Amadeo only has 1 home remaining. Listed at a receivership price of $499,900 this 1322 sq.ft. 2 bedroom + family southwest facing corner sub-penthouse has spectacular panoramic views of the river, city and mountains.

Amadeo is a boutique midrise in uptown New Westminster. The features in each home includes laminate hardwood flooring, polished granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, undermount double-bowl sinks and much more. To top it off Amadeo offers 2-5-10 warranty provided by National Home Warranty for a true "no maintenance lifestyle".

Please do not hesitate to call me at (604) 616-0155 should you have any questions or if you would like to book an appointment to view this furnished sub-penthouse with over 200 sq.ft. of outdoor living space.

Don't miss this opportunity to own a new sub-penthouse with a 2-5-10 New Home Warranty at receivership prices.

Kind Regards,

Grace Fung

Condo Sale in Vancouver – Are you in the market for a new home?

I got another email last week from Anky Kan regarding the four properties they are selling at MACBulk, namely: The Legacy at Burnaby, Cora at Coquitlam, Edgebrook at Abbotsford and The Morgan in South Surrey.

In the first three weeks, 50% of the homes were sold on the first two properties, The Legacy and Cora. Do you think that’s impressive or not? I actually went to the Legacy to see some of the units myself but the price was still above my budget. Also, Burnaby isn’t really my first choice as far as the location of my future home is concerned. I just checked it out because the location is so convenient as it is just walking distance to the Holdom skytrain station.

Last Saturday, they’ve started on selling Amacon properties, the Edgebrook and Morgan. I’m not really contemplating on buying a home in Abbotsford and South Surrey so I passed up the chance and didn’t visit the places. If you went to those two locations, add your comment below to share your experience.

Below are the pricing in the email sent out by MACBulk

Legacy Towers	WAS	MACBulk Price	Discount
1 bed @ 823sf		SOLD OUT

Unfortunately for me, the location of the above properties are not on the location I am interested in. If you are interested in any of the above properties, call MacBulk at 604.633.9988 to learn more. I am in no way connected to MacBulk so don’t ask me any question regarding any of their properties. I’m just sharing the information I get from them because I think other people might also find it useful.

It’s a Great Time to buy

We were just driving around in Fleetwood and chanced upon an open house being held on a nice three bedroom townhouse. We spoke quite a bit with the realtor and yeah, he said that it’s a great time to buy now because of the very low interest rates and many choices available. What do you expect? :) He also said to take your time but not too much as the market may change depending on the economy. You always never know. But bottomline is, If you have some savings and a steady job then now is the great time to get into the market.

Mac Bulk: Vancouver Bulk Sale of Condo Homes

I just received an email from Anky Kan from the MAC Bulk team that there website is now live. All four properties of their second MAC Bulk Projects offering are now available for everyone to see. The last property they revealed is located in South Surrey called, The Morgan at the Morgan Heights built by well known developer, Amacon. It’s a four storey wood frame property in a really nice location. It is close to Southridge school, White Rock and the US Border.

In my view, these are good quality properties that everyone looking for a new home in Vancouver should see. I, myself, am going this weekend to check it out. I think now is the best time to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity. I know that a few months ago, a lot of potential buyers were priced out by the skyrocketing price of Vancouver real estate. For those who have saved up and are waiting for the right time, I think this is the time you are waiting for. The last MAC Bulk event was very successful and all the properties sold out. I’m sure this second event will be no different.

The 4 MAC Bulk projects are:

Property	Location	Developer
Cora Towers	Coquitlam	Intergulf
Legacy Towers	Burnaby	Embassy
Edgebrook	Abbotsford	Amacon
The Morgan	South Surrey	Amacon

Let me share to you the detail of the email. Please note that I am in no way connected with Mac Bulk nor any of the developers of these properties for sale. I’m just sharing it to everyone as I think a lot of people would benefit.

Here's the email,

Dear XXX,

Our complete MAC Bulk website is now live. Visit http://macbulk.com today to find out more about ALL FOUR of the exciting MAC Bulk Projects.

We would like to introduce our final project in the MAC Bulk portfolio: The Morgan in South Surrey’s Morgan Heights. Built by Amacon, this 4 storey wood frame property will impress you for its design, space and neighbourhood amenities.

We are very excited to offer such a wide array of homes and locations to choose from. We are certain you will find a home that will suit your needs. Whether you’re looking for a home to live in or an investment opportunity; now is a great time to buy. Three reasons to buy with MAC Bulk:

1. Unprecedented Financing

2. Limited Supply

3. MAC Bulk Pricing

UNPRECEDENTED FINANCING AT AN ALL TIME LOW

Financing rates are now lower than they have been in decades. For every $100,000 financed, the monthly payment is approximately $475*. Regardless of the home you are looking for, the financing cost will make it even more affordable. Talk to us about some recommended lenders for your mortgage.

LIMITED SUPPLY

There have been few to no new developments started in the Vancouver area in the past 12 months. In the next 6 months you will see availability drop as more completed homes are purchased and nothing new is started. As these homes are purchased the demand will be maintained but supply will continue to drop. Eventually the demand will overtake supply. The key is to finding the home you want and buying it before someone else does. The questions to ask are "is this the home for me" and "can I afford it?" If you can answer yes to both then you need to act before someone else does.

MAC BULK PRICING

The MAC Bulk program allows us to bring great savings to you. Every MAC Bulk home is priced to sell. Homes have been reduced up to $150,000. It is because of MAC Bulk that you will be able to find homes of this calibre at these prices.

Call 604.633.9988 or visit us on site for more detailed pricing. Call now to learn about these amazing opportunities and to book your personal tour of one or more of the properties.

-----------

That’s it. It’s a rare opportunity to have a bulk sale of Vancouver condos like this one. This is the second Mac Bulk event. Who knows if there’s a third or a fourth. If I were you, and you like some of the properties above. Call the MacBulk team and book an appointment.
