Depends what you are comparing to? What city are you comparing it to? The cost of living anywhere in the Fraser valley is high, you can rent a 1 bed apartment for 1400-1700 , transportation is the same price almost everywhere in the valley

@@joeprataprealtor look, I am from México 🇲🇽 and I'm starting the process of Go to Canada to work, I wanna Go to live canada for a long time, Mission would be the first contact wih any kind of life there in Canada, so, before to Travel I am studying options ( I mean different Provinces) so I thank any kind of info you Could give me, greetings from México 🇲🇽

It's the best we currently have that's for sure. Although not even close to being advanced like the sky train is. Takes my son and I approximately 1 hour to get to Vancouver and to drive 1 hour 10 usually , but nonetheless it's an option. Thanks for the message have a great weekend

@@joeprataprealtor iwest coast express top speed is 70 mph( if it were a sky train it would take 2 hours ) and you can read the paper eat breakfast and save time in a much more sanitary environment than the sky train . West coast express passengers are all working professionals. I have to disagree unless you enjoy being in grid locked traffic and paying a bot load of cash for gas and parking. All I’m saying is it’s huge asset to mission that the people that have figured out never go back to driving . As a real estate agent it could be a huge selling point for potential buyers in Mission. Have you heard it’s also being included in the “transit hub” zoning . There are plans for condos coming all close to the Station. Thanks for getting back to me

@@versymangdewww8456 Sounds great , maybe I should hop on it with the kids next time we head to science world. Thank you for your suggestions. Have a great day

@@joeprataprealtor you too :)

Lots of plastic surgery

Nice, where from?

Pennsylvania

Hockey team is a slight downgrade lol

Sorry, no

No

Actually not really. In comparison to Vancouver little bit less and in recent years much much less

Thanks for the message Patricia. Funny the last 4 homes built here all have a similar look . One right before it had more traditional slope . Have a good day thx for the watch

Some of the units will have a bit of yard , for example the duplex style ones on the outside have a fenced grass yard off kitchen . Some of the inside units which are completing end of next month do not , there is also a decent amount of park and green space being constructed as the phases continue. If you message or text me 6049920616 I can try and send some of the designs outlining the current and next phase

Yes that’s how most feel I think these days click the link and let’s schedule a quick call and see if Abbotsford is right for you

Around 2% vacancy so yes pretty low , and fairly easy. I can send you a list of homes with rental suites shoot me a text 6049920616

The cost of living in the province is high. But if you are breaking down certain areas or cities , the cost of food will be similar city to city here, gas is cheaper in Abbotsford as its outside the greater Vancouver area and there is no translink tax fixed in, cost of housing is 10-15% below areas like surrey and 20% below areas like Vancouver

Thanks for the message James. And thanks for the watch. Not sure I agree on over rated, but it’s definitely not affordable. I haven’t lived there before , visit many times. Sea wall is beautiful, where do you live?

@@joeprataprealtor i grew up in Vancouver (Dunbar) now I live in Australia.

I hear it is a beautiful spot you are in. Have a good day.

Oh wow

Their sales price points begin just under 1.1 at moment , depending on when completion times are wanted

I wish , Currently you have 2 options drive to mission 15 mins and hop on west coast express Train and transfer to sky train in Vancouver, or drive into surrey king George and hop on sky train . Langley will have skytrain within the next decade which will shave 20 mins of driving , but not Abbotsford

Have a happy holiday season

That’s actually a really great comment. Both I believe personally do a fantastic job in their respected communities. Good comment

It is mostly detached Yes. There are Townhomes (attached) at the base of the Mountain starting at low 700s as of today (resale) currently There are homes priced from 1.65-2.4 . All very nice. Neighbouring communities on the north east side not in eagle mountain but 1-2 minutes away start around 1.150 right now for detached.

You got it

Thx for checking out the video Chris

Thank you 🙏

😷

Please tell us?

And which city is expensive? And which city students can afford?

Would be really tough decision. If you are studying at UFV then absolutely Abbotsford is the better choice. There is housing options close to UFV available. But if your studying in surrey the commute regularly might make more sense to be in surrey or Langley

@@joeprataprealtori will come to canada in 2024 my college is WCC main campus in surrey but also branch in abbotsford. Can i live in abbotsford there are in part time job?

A quick search on indeed has over 1500 job postings

Thanks for your message. Missions a great place to live. Have a great day

Thanks for your message I don’t understand the question you are asking. If you check indeed for Abbotsford you have over 4000’job vacancies

Great school

That too bad. Thx for the message

@@joeprataprealtor Joe, I can hear you fine!. yagera,1602, turn your volume up!.

Hey Anne vacancy is below 2% so it’s definitely tough, start looking soon. If you need help I don’t do rentals myself but there is someone at the office I can introduce you to who could help

Nice.! Thx for watching ufv is a great school you will like it

Thanks for your message and checking out the video nils the home inspector. These days I mostly snowboard , take the kids up skiing. Takes 1 hour and 5 mins exactly to get to Mount Baker. Beautiful skiing and a great time. I hope you try it some time it’s great fun. Also the Mexican restaurant you drive by El Nopal is amazing. Often Drive over sumas border with friends just to go there. So good.

Sure can. Abbotsford is very well known for Blueberry farms, as well as caddle and chicken. Accommodations for workers are pretty tight just like rentals are but if your meaning staying on site. Most major farms have buses that run from different parts of the city and neighbouring cities privately.

Thanks for the message. I’ve never actually been to grand forks . What do you love about the city? Are the people very nice? Thx again

Thanks for your message. Chilliwack is a different city this video is about Abbotsford. But traffic on Vedder in Chilliwack is not that bad now with the under pass now east of the new mall.

@@joeprataprealtor Oops. I was watching one real estate video after another and got mixed up. I actually live in East Abbotsford. It's such a nice area.

Same maybe we are neighbors haha

Thanks for your message. Glad you found it useful

Make sure to try the food at ocean park pizza and Greek in the mall on McMillan and old yale. Let me know what you think. I like the pizza

Thanks for your message. I think really depends on what you are comparing. For example the school system in Abbotsford is top notch and Most the kids they teach for example can spell “ Kind of” at grade 3/4 . Vancouver is beautiful of course. Best wishes

Nice which area you heading to ?

How are you like if the area

Nice what brings you to town?

I think you are likely seeing that in Every City. Humans are creatures of their own habbits. Personally, from living in 4 cities in lower mainland I feel the Abby Pd actually do a very good job enforcing vehicle safety compared to other areas. Thank you for the message and watch.

Best of luck! Schools are awesome here in East Abby. Reach out by email joe@joepratap.com maybe I can help point you on some things for your family

Did you arrive

Never actually heard that before . Thanks for your message

@@joeprataprealtor sorry it seems to rain more than Vancouver or Richmond

www.currentresults.com/Weather-Extremes/Canada/wettest-cities.php Hmm does not look like by much. Although growing up in the valley I actually thought it was the opposite. Good question. Thanks for the message.

@@joeprataprealtor maybe we didn't pay much attention to weather when we were young. But as we grow older, it starts to take its toll on our mental health...

Thanks for your message

Thank you for your comment. I have never travelled to Pakistan or Bangladesh. But they are definitely beautiful countries to live. Thanks for your message.

​@@joeprataprealtor um...actually they are not as expensive as canada

Good to know thanks for your message
