Lorne Gait             Morgan Fisher

Lorne Gait and his team are Vancouver Island Real Estate Experts ready to help you with your real estate needs.  For the past several years, Vancouver Island has been experiencing a Seller’s Market where Buyers are here to Buy and Seller’s have seen rapidly rising prices.

Trends

    Interest Rates

The Seller’s market conditions seem to be the result of a few key trends.  The first trend is that there has been environment of low interest rates.  This has led to this current time of inflation in Canada.  It certainly is in the Canadian news that interest rates will start to rise.   Time will tell. . . .  If you have questions, Lorne is happy to talk.  If you have lots of questions, we can refer you to a good mortgage broker.

    Generational Transfer

The second is the transition of real estate from one generation to the next.  Lots of young families want homes and yards in which to raise their families.  Lots of 55 plus folks want smaller yards and less work to do.

    Immigration

The third trend is the need new comers to Canada have for housing.   Canada has good immigration programs that attract folks who have money to invest in real estate.   These trends have led to a massive shortage of housing from the East Coast to the West Coast in Canada.

    Moving to suburbs

The final trend which is specific to  Vancouver Island is the movement of folks from urban to rural/suburban areas.  Vancouver Island gives its residents many perks.  Quality of life is high with clean air, year round recreational opportunities, and the most moderate climate in Canada.   Vancouver Island is a great place to retire and to raise families.  Pace of life is reasonable.   Access to Vancouver and other parts of Canada are plentiful with BC ferries and great airport availability.

Because of these trends, Vancouver Island Buyers want to Buy and Sellers are reaping the rise in house prices as they sell at ever higher prices.
