One of the world's best beaches awaits your discovery! Chesterman's Beach on Vancouver Island's dramatic west side...a mini-point, in the same family since the 1970s...create your dream in this unique beachside location! The Perfect Beach Well, it's Chesterman's Beach, on the spectacular west coast of Vancouver Island...of course! This baby point of land, at mid-point along this amazing beach, has been enjoyed by the same family since the 1970s...yes, there is a hand-hewn summer/weekender retreat home on the property, which has mainly been a rental option in past years, but the value is in the location, the sun exposure, the privacy, the topography, the natural scape, as this land has not been "developed" with someone else's ideas...this beauty awaits your pleasure!A property to savour...a vista to inspire...a beach to both energize & to soothe the soul.

Almost Spring...in the great Pacific Northwest Coast!

Feb 25, 2013 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Ah...as we float towards March and the month of official Spring, the tease of one day winter & one day pre-spring is easing into the real thing...the shift of seasons. We're lucky on the Pacific Northwest Coast that we enjoy a soft winter season...snow remains on mountain tops and rarely hits sea level ground. Grey is the tone of our winter days...the shimmer and palette of grey...silver, charcoal, deep fir green-grey, shrouding grey, whisping, shredding fog grey...milky grey of billowing cloud smeared with winter sun...grey. And then? Then Spring. Welcomed. Like a daffodil, a crocus, a tulip, a cherry blossom, we raise our faces to the sun and relax into Spring...and our coastal world explodes in colour. Lucky us!

Metropolitan Areas with Tech is Good for Housing

Feb 25, 2013

Courtesy of Dawn Thomas We’re back with another great article from Gino Blefari, the CEO of Intero Real Estate Services, entitled, Tech Economies Bode Well for Housing speaking to the fact that the majority of cities on the Healthiest Real Estate Cities for 2013 (we posted about it here) are cities that have tech at their centers. Luckily we are in the most expansive, popular and booming tech area in all the world! This is great for both buyers and sellers in the Silicon Valley; contact the Dawn Thomas Team if you’re thinking about buying or selling.
