FEBRUARY MARKET STATS ARE OUT! "Our early spring market is in full swing carrying on from a fast start in January," said Victoria Real Estate Board President David Langlois. "Our market remains one with tightly constrained inventory and high demand. The good news is that we have seen some stabilization in listings and condo pricing between January and February, but we continue to see huge pressure on single family homes new listings are snapped up as soon as they are liste...d. As a result, the pressure on single family homes continues to ramp up. There is significant competition for desirable homes and in our marketplace most homes are desirable and people competing for properties pushes prices up." Here’s a little breakdown: - Last month's sales were 53.3% more than a year before. - There were 38% fewer homes listed than the previous year. - The benchmark price for a single-family home was $948,200.

DECEMBER MARKET STATS ARE OUT! "This has been an unexpected year on many levels," says 2020 Victoria Real Estate Board President Sandi-Jo Ayers. "The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April quickly swept away any illusions that our normal seasonal market patterns would persist. Equally surprising was the resurgence of our market in early summer when restrictions lightened and pent-up demand began pushing sales beyond expectations. The combination of the ongoing pand...emic, historically low interest rates and a shift in consumer priorities towards properties that cater to a more home-based work / life / retirement balance resulted in record setting sales for the last several months of 2020." Here’s a little breakdown: - Last month's sales were 57% more than a year before. - There were 34.5% fewer homes listed than the previous year. - The benchmark price for a single-family home was $915,100. Feel free to call if you have any questions!

JANUARY MARKET STATS ARE OUT! "Our bustling market continues to be fueled by strong consumer demand to own a home in Greater Victoria, driven in part by low interest rates and by the overall desirability of our larger community," said Victoria Real Estate Board President David Langlois. "This continuing demand, coupled with our record low inventory, has resulted in competition for desirable properties. The competition for sparse inventory has pushed both pricing and activity ...up and has created the very fast-paced market that we've been experiencing for the past several months." Here’s a little breakdown: - Last month's sales were 57.2% more than a year before. - There were 32.5% fewer homes listed than the previous year. - The benchmark price for a single-family home was $932,000.
