Local Shopping Areas in Richmond
Steveston Village
My home neighborhood of Steveston is easily found by driving to the south-west corner of Richmond. Surrounded by boardwalks, sea-side parks and boats visitors and locals purchase fresh fish directly from the fishermen, take in the view or order seafood already prepared by one of the many restaurants. Quaint and unique stores line the streets selling eclectic items ranging from antiques, art, crafts and of course seafood.

Popular with people from all over the lower mainland is the Richmond Centre Shopping District. There are two mega shopping malls, Richmond Centre and Lansdowne Park Shopping Centre, both located in close proximity to one another along No. 3 Road.

About Appraisals >Refinancing Your Home
Interest rates fluctuate as changes occur in the general economy. If you purchased your home when interest rates were higher, you may want to consider re-financing your loan at a lower rate.
You will have to apply for the new mortgage and have your current income eligibility assessed. Depending on how long you have had your present loan, a current appraisal may be required. There are closing costs, such as attorney, title fees, recording and notary fees, and appraisal charges. The biggest factor in your decision should be the length of time you plan to remain in your home. If you will be there for only a year or two more, it might not pay to re-finance. If you will be in your home longer, re-financing could provide you with lower mortgage payments. Your real estate agent can help you work out the numbers and can refer you to reputable home appraisers and mortgage lenders.
