I realize the need for rooms. I live 20 minutes from the border in Bellingham washington and I would be glad to rent out a roon or 2 for people that can't get a room anywhere else. I have a comfortable 4 bedroom home, thanks Katee I have been looking with interest at the up coming games in 2010.

The World Fair had helped both the city and the region, so one shouldn't doubt that the situation will be the same after the Vancouver 2010 Games. And let me add a piece of stats. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver has just released a report of a survey it commissioned of 2006 home buyers and home sellers in the Greater Vancouver region. I learned that just over half of respondents (54%) both bought and sold a property in 2006. 44% only bought and 2% only sold a property. And here is another interesting fact: Approximately one-third of buyers are first-time home owners. Hello Jerry, I may be wrong but I believe that the scenario will be similar to that of post-1986.

One of the commenters said he was against the Olympics because "it is just going to create another gap between the rich and the poor." Talking about how the Olympics would change the real estate market, a commenter excalimed that "in 2012 everything will sink into the ground". Well, I don't think so. I believe real estate in the Vancouver, BC market willl retain their value even after the Games.  I agree that with the build up to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, prices will go up in the British Columbia Province, but serious doubt there will be any kind of a market dive soon after.

The state will have spent $7 billion to make it easier for people to get to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, B.C., including $665 million in Snohomish County. <a href="http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20071018/BIZ/710180034/1005" rel="nofollow">SnoGold 2010</a> is the Snohomish venture for the Winter Olympics.
