Rent a West Van House for $4k a Night During 2010

You know how residents of the PNE area tend to cash in during the last two weeks of August by selling some parking spaces for the annual fair visitors? A similar kind of phenomenon is happening in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, but it's on a much grander scale. Instead of charging people $20 for parking, homeowners are renting out their homes for quite the pretty penny.

A two bedroom condo in Yaletwon will cost about $36,000 for the month of February 2010. This will provide good access to the downtown venues. If you have more people and don't mind a bit of a commute, a property in New Westminster is being listed at $45,000 and it has enough room for 12 people. For more luxury, the posh homes in West Vancouver are going for up to $4,000 a night.

The Richmond home pictured here is that of Chris Dyck. He has his house listed at $30,000 for during the 2010 Olympics. Who said the housing bubble was about to burst?
