The monthly Nanaimo Real Estate Market Update for January 2021 shows compared to a year ago, an increase in sales for the entire local area. Overall residential sales from last January in the Nanaimo were up 56% and up while the average days to sell was down by 2% from last January. The sales over the last 12 months are up by 13%, the market is very strong.
Incredibly swift sales in Single Family Detached homes is really causing upward price pressure. There is only 1 month of inventory in homes. The housing market remains strong. For apartments inventory is much larger with 2 months. We have seen significant gains but as we head into winter the numbers have tempered but not as much as expected.
“A dearth of listings is an ongoing issue throughout our area…We’re confident that sales activity would be much higher if we had adequate supply. We’d normally say this is a great time to sell, but with so little inventory available, buyers and sellers are in a Catch-22 situation. It’s hard to part with your home if you have nowhere to move. In a competitive housing market, using a REALTOR® can help streamline the buying and selling process to ensure the best possible outcome while mitigating associated risks.” says VIREB president Ian Mackay
