House hunting in vancouver

House hunting in Vancouver is exalting to say the lest, with a less then 1% vacancy rate and school just around the corner its almost impossible to find anything worthy in late August or early September. I have gotten suggestions from friends and family that I should just rent a motel for a month and wait till December when the renting rush is over and done with. But for some of us this isn’t an option so I have created this list of house hunting websites that might help you in your search.

• housingmaps.com - Google maps with Craigslist ads
• vancouver.craigslist.org - Rooms for rent
• vancouver.kijiji.ca - Rooms for rent
• vancouver.craigslist.org - Houses for rent
• vancouver.kijiji.ca - Houses for rent
• vancouver.renting.canada.com - Rooms and Houses for rent
• AMSRentsLine.com - Rooms and Houses for rent

I also found a good article on how things got so bad in this city, its worth a read. http://thetyee.ca/Life/2007/08/31/RentalFever/
