Building a family legacy for future generations.
Sales at The Cottages at Cultus Lake have been very strong over the last three years and show no signs of slowing down. For those who view home buying and real estate as a pure investment vehicle, this set of circumstances can seem a bit perplexing, but knowing our prospective owners like we do, we aren’t a bit surprised. You see, they aren’t looking to buy office space, residential rental space, or a commercial property. The Cottage at Cultus Lake buyers are interested in acquiring a space for their families to grow and spend time together. They are looking for a place that allows them to focus on each other rather than the demands of the daily grind. Most of all, they are looking for a sanctuary, a safe and comforting place in which to welcome family and friends, creating a legacy of security for future generations.
It all sounds a bit Norman Rockwell when put to print, but the funny thing is that nostalgia for a “simpler, better” time is exactly what drives many to join The Cottages at Cultus Lake community. If you think about it, there are few opportunities in our fast paced, bigger-better-faster world to access that kind of security and peace. We can get away from it all with a brief vacation or try relaxation activities like yoga or meditation to ward off the stress for an hour or so, but it’s rare to have a place of one’s own that is designated as a safe haven for you, your friends, and your family. Oh sure, your primary residence shelters you and provides safety and privacy but try as you might, you can never escape the demands, noise, and stress of city life that surround you. The Cottages at Cultus Lake owners count themselves as fortunate to have such a safe haven close enough to the city (and sometimes their primary home) for an easy and fast escape but far enough removed from the crowds to truly experience that sense of peace.
We are happy to welcome a wonderful new group of owners who value tranquility, family bonding, and the idea of building a legacy to be passed down to future generations – all things that endure far beyond real estate and economic markets.
If you have been dreaming about a ‘home away from home’ then now is the time to make that dream come true. An informative article published by Global News states that the recreational property markets are on the rise. A recent report says that Canada’s recreational property market appears to be bouncing back from a recessionary lull as buyers seek to capitalize on equity and stock-market gains.
For those of you looking to purchase recreational property this summer, there is a great article in Monday’s issue of The Vancouver Sun supporting your decision. A survey commissioned as part of the 2010 Royal LePage Recreational Property Report, an annual market analysis of prices, trends and activity in selected leisure markets across the country, measures Canadian’s attitudes about recreational property and how it relates to an increased quality of life.
Statistics Canada’s latest population’s projections indicate that Canada’s population is expecting to grow from the current 33.7 million people to 40.1 to 47.7 million people by 2036.
