Our guest today is Mike Wilson. Mike is the publisher of the Fraser Valley Lifestyle and a realtor here in the Fraser Valley. He has lived and worked in the Fraser Valley since 1982 and raised his family here. His passions include playing hockey, fishing, and he's recently started collecting wine.

Mike is involved with the BC Federation of Drift Fishers which helps promote good stewardship of our oceans and river fish docks.

Mike has been a licensed realtor since 1987. For 21 years, he was with Remax and in May 2021, he moved to Royal LePage Northstar Realty to be a little bit closer to home.

In today's interview, we try to address the ongoing question of what's going on in the real estate market. It's probably one of the questions that Mike and most realtors get asked most often. So, we talk about:

- what it takes to get into the market today

- possible changes happening in interest rates and how that will affect purchasing or selling a home

- government changes and regulations that are taking place

- the importance of due diligence and how the opportunity to do that has returned

- the importance of making a plan with your agent when you are looking to sell and buy a home.
