APRIL MARKET STATS ARE OUT! "Comparing last year's April market to 2021 does not provide us any real insight into long term market trends," said Victoria Real Estate Board President David Langlois. "Instead of comparing to last year's numbers, we need to look at years before the pandemic to see how April 2021 compares to average. In the most recent five years pre-pandemic, the average number of sales in the month of April was 896. April 2016 holds the record for sales with 1,...286 properties sold. The five-year average for active listings was 2,596, so we sit at more than one thousand homes fewer than a recent average level of inventory." Here’s a little breakdown: - Last month's sales were 288.9% more than a year before. - There were 36.9% fewer homes listed than the previous year. - The benchmark price for a single-family home was $996,500. Feel free to call if you have any questions!

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.
