Harmony at Simon Fraser University currently has three active MLS® listings. ( http://www.simonfrasercondos.com/Harmony.ubr ) This is the lowest level of inventory that I've seen in this building in years. This is a terrific time for new listings at SFU to hit the market, and there are many active buyers visiting the area this time of year.
There have been 28 condos sold at Harmony so far in 2010. I'm not able to post all the sales data publicly due to privacy regulations, but I'd be happy to provide a detailed report to you if you own a property at Harmony, or are interested in purchasing a home at SFU.
One of the factors that has brought attention to the UniverCity neighbourhood lately is the recent launch of two new developments on University High Street. Nest by Mosaic Homes http://www.simonfrasercondos.com/Nest.ubr and Origin Porte Development http://www.simonfrasercondos.com/Origin.ubr have been selling well, and have out performed many of the other pre sale condo developments in Burnaby.
I get many inquiries from tenants looking to rent a condo at SFU, and Harmony is a popular building for investor owners looking for easy to manage investment properties. There are a wide range of floor plans at Harmony at the Highlands. The most popular floor plan is a two bedroom, two bathroom home whioch is around 837 square feet. These have sold as low as $300,000 this year, and typically rent in the $1300 - $1500 range.
There are some great resources for owners and residents. There is a Facebook page that is a good place to find properties for rent, and owners can post their rental ads there for free. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Harmony-at-Simon-Fraser-University-SFU/166576453380291 if you want to interact with other people at Harmony; visit this page and "Like" it to be kept up to date.
