Hi, it’s Mark from Top Local Lead Generation. We’re here with Mr. Darren McCartney; he’s a Realtor in Squamish, BC, beautiful Squamish. Darren does commercial and residential real estate and we’re going to do a little update about what’s going on in Squamish. You can reach Darren at his website squamishcommercialproperty.com or you can call him at 604-892-4875. How are you doing today Darren?
Darren: I’m doing well Mark, how about yourself?
Mark: I’m good. So what’s going on in Squamish?
Darren: I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked because it had been a busy market so I’ve disappeared for a three or four months on you here. It’s been a pretty epic year here when you look back at previous years and a lot of what we’ve talked about in the past is how the market really lags here on recovery after the previous economic meltdown and we never regained that 20% that we lost. We’ve had a really strong year in all residential sectors that has been very active, fun to be part of and a little bit more recognition coming Squamish’s way due to I think pent-up market demand and lots of marketing with the Sea to Sky gondola. Lots of people’s friends move up here, they hear about it, they spend some time up here and they realize what Squamish has to offer; you know that 45 minute commute and a really unique lifestyle, 60% of the population under 40, just a lot of interesting things if you’ve got a young family and if I can for a minute here I want to pull up a graph to show you some of the numbers in the last year.
