Summary Thoughts

The Vancouver Island Real Estate market is hanging in there.  There are approximately 20% or so less sales this year over last.  This depends on the kind of property and price of the home.  This is likely a result of provincial government rule changes for foreign buyers and for owning secondary properties in the urban areas of Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and Nanaimo.  As well the Canadian Federal Government ongoing rule changes regarding mortgages for Buyers is continuing to have impact.

In spite of these taxes, there has been so much pent up demand for housing.  Buyers are still wanting reasonably priced homes, condos and town homes.  This is helping to keep prices steady.  Likely affordable homes are at historic highs even to this day.  

Higher priced homes need to be priced competitively.  Look at what has sold and price reasonably in light of past sales.  

If you are selling, we can help you get the best possible price in this market.  If you are Buying, we can help you find a deal for the home of your choosing.
