But sometimes, identifying those hot areas can be tricky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MoneySense magazine this week published a ranking of what it deemed to be the best Lower Mainland neighbourhoods to buy a home in right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Its study, which covers 252 neighbourhoods across the region, examined the current average home price in each neighbourhood, how that price compares with both the surrounding area and the region as a whole (&#8220;value&#8221;), how much the average price has increased over the past year and five years (&#8220;momentum&#8221;), and what local realtors had to say about the area&#8217;s potential. It then created a star rating for each neighbourhood and ranked them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MoneySense found that Uptown New Westminster was the hottest market in the Lower Mainland right now, followed by Lynnmour in North Vancouver, Sea Island in Richmond, Greentree Village in Burnaby and Birchland Manor in Port Coquitlam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hottest Vancouver neighbourhood was found to be Marpole, which came in overall at number 18 on the list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out the top 20 neighbourhoods ranked in the image below, and go to the source post for the interactive ranking to find details on all neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/?attachment_id=12801\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12801\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-12801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/top-neighbourhoods-ranking-236x288.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/top-neighbourhoods-ranking-236x288.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/top-neighbourhoods-ranking.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/biv.com\/article\/2019\/06\/best-lower-mainland-neighbourhoods-buy-home-right-now-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Lower Mainland Neighbourhoods to Buy A Home Right Now<\/a> by Joannah Connolly | Glacier Media Real Estate | Business in Vancouver<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether it\u2019s a neighbourhood that\u2019s up and coming, or one that will always be desirable, there are many good reasons to invest in a home in certain hot spots \u2013 &hellip;
