The monthly Campbell River Real Estate Market Update for January 2021 shows compared to a year ago, a large increase in sales for the entire local area. Overall residential sales from last January in Campbell River were up 61.9% and up while the average days to sell decreased overall by 36.52% from last January. The sales over the last 12 months are up by 17.6%, the market is strong.
Swift sales in the latter half of the year is causing upward price pressure. We have seen significant gains but as we head into the Winter, the numbers have tempered but not as much as is typical for a January.
The Single Family statistics for this month point to rising average prices in both the Comox Valley and Campbell River. The market is still quite active.
In Campbell River, the benchmark price of a single-family home hit $528,000 in January, an increase of 14 per cent over last year. Benchmark pricing tracks the value of “middle-of-the-range” or “typical” homes and excludes the extreme high-end and low-end properties in Campbell River. It is normally a more stable price indicator than average prices.
“…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

The monthly Campbell River Market Update shows, “Trend-wise, VIREB’s housing market is balanced in most areas and inching towards a buyers’ market in a few zones. Overall, however, home sales and listing activity are at typical levels for our region…there is interest among buyers, but many are taking a wait-and-see approach. Lack of inventory is certainly curtailing some buyers from moving ahead with their home purchase, so if
you’re thinking of selling your home, now is a good time to list,” says Kaye Broens, 2019 VIREB President.

“This is a more comfortable market for people on both sides of the real estate transaction,” says VIREB president Kaye Broens. “But correctly pricing your home is the key to a quick sale and may even result in multiple offers. Overpriced properties tend to linger, and that risk increases in a balanced market.”
“What’s happening for buyers is they have to save more money for their down payment, and they’re having to qualify for mortgages at higher rates, even though they don’t have to pay the higher rates, so that’s part of the B20 mortgage rules, commonly known as the stress test.”
