British Columbia Waterfront Real Estate Only For Elite

Online, May 2, 2010 (Newswire.com) - A new trend is afoot thanks to an average housing price in Vancouver, BC of one millions dollars, which makes multi-million dollar waterfront and water view properties only possible for the ultra elite. It seems this new reality is fueling a growing exodus of honest hard working BC residents who now realize that home ownership, a comfortable retirement, shore front/view land, and a safe environment for family are likely far more possible on 'Canada's Island Paradise -a.k.a. Prince Edward Island.

PEI offers affordable land, homes, water front or water view possibilities, like a recently listed sea view home and cottage business with repeat clientele for under five hundred thousand in French River. A similar BC property with this type of home and renovated cottages would be worth well into the millions. A retiree can also expect to find a quaint three bedroom home in a fishing village with water views for under one-hundred thousand. In BC, you would pay at least several hundred thousand for such a home with water views.

Hamish Redpath of www.LivethePEIdream.com , a resource for anyone who loves PEI, offers his perspective, "PEI is a natural alternative for people seeking a safe haven to raise kids or retire. The island is amazing, affordable, fun, has great theatre and golf, and the winters are a lot shorter than rumoured- It's paradise!"
