As you may know - I used to be employed at Big Foot Manufacturing - and still consult with them from time to time on thier Quality and Environmental Systems. I am really excited to share this release with you as they begin their expansion into a more global AND local market. It is nice to be a part of some good news coming from the forest sector!
Last fall, with word of impending demise of several log home manufacturers a BC Log home company saw the light of opportunity and it came at a time when Big Foot Manufacturing Inc (Tappen, BC) was preparing to actively seek a distribution network to add to their well established overseas partner RC Core Ltd. (Japan) Over the past several years, Big Foot has consistently made capital investments to increase production capacity, decrease production time and increase product quality. With over 300 units shipped annually to Japan, Big Foot Manufacturing was looking to double that number through the creation of additional world- wide distribution alliances.
In an online release June 3rd a group of former Lincoln Log Ltd. dealers led by Chuck Clark, former Western Region Vice President for The Original Lincoln Log Ltd. announced the formation of a new company called CNW Log Homes of America Inc. Big Foot Manufacturing is pleased to announce that they have partnered with CNW Log Homes of America to become Big Foot’s exclusive dealer representatives for the United States of America.
“We are excited to be partnering with CNW as our gateway into the U.S. Market” says Big Foot Vice President Wayne Brown. “The synergy of an established dealer network partnered with a seasoned and proven quality manufacturing arm has proven history for us.” Big Foot Manufacturing has been a primary supplier for RC Core Ltd (the leading importer) for 20 years.
“With the addition of our new CNC machinery last year, we have an annual capacity to process 800 homes. We can dry enough fibre in house for about 440 of them, so if we do get extremely busy we would have to outsource some drying or add some more kilns here. Couple this with an additional CNC machine dedicated to Timber Frame and master level handcrafted crews; we have a well rounded supply for our dealers."
Big Foot will be the exclusive supplier for milled log, handcrafted and timber frame homes within the CNW product line from their BC operations based just outside Salmon Arm. Says Clark “We are impressed with Big Foot’s commitment to excellence and their product quality, which is demonstrated by their ISO 9001 and 14001 certified mill operations”
"It is our belief that Big Foot's quality products and competitive pricing coupled with CNW log homes in the U.S. and other dealers throughout Canada and abroad, we have a winning combination that moves us into the top producers in the world” said Brown.
Dealers Wanted:

Naturally if you are looking for a log home.. or a piece of land to build one on.. I'd love to help you with that too!

Tanya Cederholm from Dominion Lending Centres Okanagan sends this information along today:
Well here we go another rate hike on the way…Rate Increases again today… get your or your clients to submit their applications NOW!!!
Hi Clients, Friends and Realtors this is not a message of doom and gloom but simply a real look at what will be happening over the next few months. For those that were thinking of refinancing or purchasing a home or investment property rates will not be any lower than they are now and will be going up quickly and in my opinion much higher than we have seen for the last few years.
In my opinion we are truly looking at high 5 or low 6% rates with in the next 4-6 months. ANY CLIENTS CONSIDERING A PURCHASE NEED TO GET THEIR APPLICATIONS IN FOR RATE HOLDS. We are only going up from here.
…Why I believe we are in for a couple spikes…
Last week, mortgage rates went up 20 bps and this week another 40 bs, that’s 60 bps in total. The sub -- 4% 5 year Mortgage Rates in Canada are now GONE... GONE … Long term (10 year treasury bonds) bonds in the US are near 4%, up 2% from 6 months ago… the longer term (30 year) bonds are getting very close to the magic 5%, that the cash guys want… there is also speculation out of the States that these same 30 year US treasury bond could go to 7% or 8%.... This all effects the same Canadian Bond Yields which are up similarly...
I don't want this to sound alarming… but we all need to be aware of the impact of the pushes in the bond yields… it is a sign that the 'Cash Guys' want more… thus this will lessen spreads (Mortgage Rates vs Bond Rates) and push the lenders (like us) to move rates…
Like I have said before…
I would suggest that you contact your clients --- or if you are one of the ones 'sittin on the fence' because you believe one or both of the following:
- " I think rates are going to go lower and I don't want to pay more than I have too… "
- "… house prices are coming down, I want to wait and get best deal…"
As you all know these are the best of rates in the last 50 YEARS or so… this is the time to get you or your clients the best rates… lock the rate… the bottom is rising. I want to ensure that you are able to assist yourself or your clients in getting the best deal… and NOW is the time
Please let your clients know that a purchase they may be able to make now might be out of reach in the next couple of months urge them to get a pre-approval or at least a rate hold.
Any questions drop me a line.

and Pam Owen sent this yesterday:
We have official word that the fixed rates are going up once more, effective tomorrow--- the 3, 4, and 5 year rates are up by another .40%. Please make sure your clients have their rates saved and pre-approvals completed!
On a good note, the variable closed term is now down to prime plus .6%==== floating rate of 2.85%.
Still low rates when you look back historically, but it looks like the economy is starting to change….. Good news comes in mixed messages!

There are a few key indicators that we watch to keep our fingers on the pulse of the local real estate market. Because real estate is a supply and demand commodity, the first number we monitor is the Inventory level. You can see by the chart below that while inventory levels are still up considerably over the scorching sellers market of 2007 - the number of homes for sale in the North Okanagan has been reduced significantly from its peak at the end of 2008, and shows signs of stablizing.
The second key performance indicator to be aware of is the Absorbsion rate. That is the comparison of the number of sales made in a given period of time to the number of units on hand - again.. supply and demand drives this metric. Think of it like this.. if the inventory were water... in 2006 you could absorb it with a Q-Tip... 2007 called for "Bounty" and by the end of 2008 an industrial shop vac would be the right choice! The market today is back to the strong paper towel stage. Note the sharp decline in absobsion rate which is steeper than the drop in inventory levels.
Next thing to consider is the ratio of new listings to units sold. This chart ads dimention to the inventory and absorbsion data, and clearly shows how the market it moving (or NOT moving - when you look at the summer of 2008.
Lastly we monitor price...
As you can see - the median price is starting to climb - we cannot call this a trend yet.. but based on all of the other factors illustrated - we can be relatively confident that the worst may have passed.
With interest rates low - and money available for qualified buyers - it is a great time to be looking at moving up or adding property to your portfolio.
We are happy to provide you with specific market information on your property type, neighbourhood or individual criteria and work with you to realize your property goals.

Hi there,
I hope everyone is having a very busy week. Jut a heads up for your clients sitting on the fence. Closed fixed interest rates have started to increase today. Was yesterday the bottom of the market? It could be. The BOND market is very active, the Canadian dollar is climbing and so are gas prices.
So currently we have a 3.79% for a five year closed. Effective this morning, without notice, the Lenders at 3.54% have eliminated that product.
Which follows up this message from late this morning:
Happy Friday!
Just a heads up---- it is very likely that mortgage interest rates will be going up in the next few days…. Our economists are watching the bond market, and the 5 yr bond rate is up… give your buyers the info to lock in soon… we can guarantee the rates for 90 days…we have not yet put our rates up yet today, but have heard that other lenders may be doing so….
Have a great weekend!

Blogger credits Baby Boomers for RV industry optimism
Greg Gerber posted on April 13, 2009 09:20 CYBERSPACE --
Unlike the stereotype of older couples hitting the road after retirement, the average RV owner is middle-aged and married, traveling a total of 4,500 miles and 26 days annually. The industry is betting on an expected increase in new buyers entering the market, as the baby boomer generation enters retirement, writes Laura Rossman, who blogs at BoomerSummit.
“Baby boomers have had a really large impact on the industry already. They represent the largest group of owners in the industry,” Mark Polk, owner of RV Education 101, an education program that publishes how-to books and videos for newcomers to the RV lifestyle, told CNBC. RV companies have been anticipating the influx in potential customers for awhile.
“All along, for the last four or five years, we’ve known the baby boomer population is coming. Every month there will be 350,000 potential customers in the baby boomers through 2030,” said Winnebago CEO Bob Olson. “There is a potential opportunity for our customer base to grow. A portion of them will want to join the RV lifestyle. This bodes well for us in the future.” SOURCE: BoomerSummit
This bodes well for people considering recreational property development opportunities like the Vernon Creek Resort

Like Beauty.. Value is in the eye of the beholder.
A visitor to our Facebook Page asked what makes
Port Side Court a deal when priced at $350k - $600k and that is what provided the stimulus for this post.
As individuals - people each have their own perspective on things, which is a very good thing. I don't know who first said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but I do think most people would agree with that concept. I think that value is also in the eye of the beholder... whether we are talking about real estate, art, vehicles, or even the simple things like where to go for lunch or dinner.
It is no secret that real estate values have slid over the last year in many parts of Canada. This change brings heartache and opportunity. ( More about this in a subsequent blog.)
The charts in the presentation above real estate values rise and fall with the economy - but over time.. they rise... unquestionably.
So - what makes a property a deal? Is it the fact that the units that sold last year were purchased at over 40% more? Is it in the fact that lake shore property is a limited commodity and you could join the relatively small group of lake shore property owners? Or could it be that your version of value is found in the memories that you and your family can create on lazy summer days - on the water - poolside or gathered around the barb-b-que?
Do you see a lasting vacation home for your family - or a real estate investment that is - backed up by history and statistics GOING to make you money, possibly provide you with income and a vacation home or do you see the luxury of a second home that will pass on to your grandchildren someday and provide a trail of family memories that provides financial leverage.
Property values go up over time. Always have. Always will.
People will spend money as it relates to value and those choices are personal.
Today - someone will decide to eat fast food and someone will have a gourmet meal - both will call it "lunch" and each will see value in their choice but not that of the other. Even IF the dollar value were the same - the choices would still be different.
Someone will buy an original painting for the way it moves them and someone will buy a one of a 100,000 print - both will call it "art" and each will see value in their choice but not that of the other. Again - even if the prices remain the same.. the choices will still be different.
I can provide all kinds of statistical background to validate the monetary price point "deal" factor of these units.. but it will depend on your own circumstance as to whether you will consider it a deal, a steal or just another piece of real estate in a market full of choices.
Today - a variety of real estate will be purchased in BC.
Each buyer will see value in what they purchase. They will purchase for a number of reasons - in a number of price points and various property types. Each one will consider what they buy a deal or even a steal. Even if the prices are the same - the choices will be different.
At
Port Side Court - we know we are offering the opportunity for buyers to take advantage of a unique situation - the chance to buy a limited commodity - lakefront property- with a luxuriously appointed living quarters at a price that you could not duplicate if you had to buy the land and build . We know that the prices we are offering have changed the asking price for property in the area. We know that people who buy these units will see an increase in equity almost instantly and a serious return on their investment over time. A limited number of people out there will see this opportunity and recognize these things as well. They will buy a deal or a steal.. while others will wonder what the fuss is all about.... and with a change in perspective once the market is in full recovery and we see the escalation of values yet again.. maybe in the corner of their mind they will recall that at a time when borrowing costs were almost zero... they could have had a piece of paradise for what will certainly look like a pittence in hindsight.
That is just how the world works. If you would like detailed information regarding the market value or an investment analysis please
Contact Us What makes a property "worth it" for you? What does a "deal" look like? and what would you need to see to consider a real estate purchase " a steal?" There are no wrong answers... and the discussion could be lively and enlightening! Please feel free to comment on this post!
Ciao for now,

Earlier this afternoon I got a call from my daughter - saying she had heard that Beairsto School was closed due to a case of the Swine Flu... and at that point I could not find anything on the internet to confirm it.
However - it now has been confirmed. Click the link below to watch the CHBC news report about the first closure of a school in Canada because of this latest health risk.
