Thanks, Gerry.

Vancouver Craigslist is seriously infested at this time ~ I know because I will be moving in the next few months and when I'm not hunting scammers elsewhere I am, like you, going through the housing market trying to find legitimate listings. I daresay I don't need to tell you by now to bypass the 'click here' ads, Vancouver Rentals Guide listings, www.theapartmentguide.info listings and the luxury photo ads with the incredibly cheap rents.

You may find yourself posting here again. :)

Good luck!
