The monthly Campbell River Market Update for February 2020 shows, the market is beginning to show signs of life. In January sales were sharply off. In February inventory levels have risen and sales are still depressed however coming from our very slow start in January, February was positive.
Sales are down in the Comox Valley by 1% and in Campbell River by 9% however choice for buyers is up, as there is more inventory. Across all residential types (single-family, condo, etc), there were 47 price reductions in the Comox Valley and 37 in Campbell River.
However, in February Vancouver Island sales as a whole show a positive sign that buyers are feeling optimistic as we head into spring, which is historically a busy time for real estate. Another positive outcome is Minister of Finance Bill Morneau’s announcement regarding changes to the
benchmark rate used to determine the minimum qualifying rate for insured mortgages. Guideline B-20, also known as the mortgage stress test, significantly reduced the purchasing power of some buyers and pushed others to the sidelines.
“The change to the stress test is a move in the right direction,” says 2020 VIREB president Kevin Reid. “Guideline B-20 compressed more demand into our mid- and lower-priced property market. Combined with limited inventory in that price range, many buyers couldn’t move ahead with their home purchase.”
