“Unless demand drops significantly or more housing supply comes online through new construction, the needle for VIREB’s inventory situation will not move by much,” states Mackay. “BCREA, VIREB, and other real estate boards continue advocating with policymakers at the provincial and regional levels to speed up the development process so that municipalities can expand supply more quickly to meet demand.”

• Seller’s Market – In a seller’s market, conditions are favorable for sellers to get higher prices for their homes. The number of buyers who want homes exceeds the number of homes available. In this type of market, the homes sell quickly, prices will increase, and a large number of buyers are available for a minimal inventory of homes. These characteristics have implications for the buyer who has to make decisions quickly, must pay more, and frequently has their conditional offers rejected.
• Balanced Market – In a balanced market, the number of homes on the market is equal to the demand or number of buyers. Houses sell within a reasonable period, the demand equals supply, sellers accept reasonable offers, and prices are generally stable. The implications for the buyer in this type of market are that the atmosphere is more relaxed. There is a reasonable number of homes from which to choose.
• Buyer’s Market – A buyer’s market allows buyers to come in at lower prices. The supply of homes on the market exceeds the demand or the number of buyers. Homes will be on the market longer, fewer buyers will be available compared to the higher inventory of homes, and house prices are reduced. The implications for the buyers in this type of market are more favorable, negotiating leverage, more time to search for a home, and better prices.

North Vancouver Island Real Estate Market Update for January 2021

The monthly North Vancouver Island 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 North Vancouver Island were up 29% and up while the average days to sell was down by 26.19% from last January. The sales over the last 12 months are up by 18.37%, the market is strong.  

Single Family Detached homes is really causing upward price pressure. There is only 3 months of inventory in homes. The housing market remains strong. For apartments and townhouses inventory is much larger with 6.3 and 4.5 months respectively. We have seen significant gains in the latter half of the year but as we head into winter the numbers have tempered but not as much as expected.

• Single Family homes sales show rising average prices, the market is active and strong.  
• In the North Vancouver Island, the 12-month average price was $279,947, a 18.3% increase from one year ago.

“…low inventory continues to be the primary reason behind the weaker sales posted in November and December. The buyers are there, but the listings are not…Consumer demand is high, and buyers are snapping up well-priced properties quickly once they hit the market…Multiple offers are commonplace. Notwithstanding high demand, correctly pricing your home remains the key to a quick sale. Overpriced homes tend to linger in our area despite prevailing market conditions.” says VIREB president Kevin Reid

North Vancouver Island Market Update for March 2020

The monthly North Vancouver Island Market Update for March 2020 and the cyclical property market trend shows not only have we been due for a correction for some time but that we are in that correction.  In January sales were sharply off. In February inventory levels have risen and sales are still depressed making it a very strong buyer’s market in the North. In March this trend continues to the benefit of buyers. 

However, in the southern Vancouver Island February sales are a positive sign that buyers are feeling optimistic as we head into spring, which is historically a busy time for real estate.

The positivity of March’s southern numbers was despite the last two weeks of March was affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic. In its most recent Market Intelligence Report, the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) states that no one knows how the unfolding COVID-19 outbreak will impact the economy long-term. However, B.C. is facing a sudden stop in economic activity with little sense of when things may return to normal. Based on BCREA’s scenario analysis, B.C. home sales and prices will likely face declines in the spring and early summer but should recover along with the broader economy in the second half of the year, contingent on the outbreak resolving.

Now more than ever sellers and buyers will rely on technology -such as virtual tours – which can help a large part of the real estate transaction occur without face-to-face interaction.
