North Vancouver Island Market Update for February 2020

The monthly North Vancouver Island Market Update for February 2020 and the cyclical property market trend shows not only have we been due for a correction for some time but that we might actually be 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. 

However, in the south 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. 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.”

Hopefully some of this positivity will translate into the market picking up in North Vancouver Island.

Market Legend

  • 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.

Campbell River Market Update for Sept 2019

The monthly Campbell River Market Update for Sept 2019 shows, “Regionally, the benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area last month was $451,400, an increase of 11 per cent over September 2018. Trend-wise, VIREB’s housing market has transitioned from one favouring sellers to one that is balanced, and, in some areas, conditions are better for buyers. Sellers now recognize the market has changed and are pricing their homes accordingly. Although real estate is cyclical, the one factor that remains constant is that well-priced homes sell faster. ” says Kaye Broens, 2019 VIREB President.

Campbell River Market Update for July 2019

The monthly Campbell River Market Update for July 2019 shows, “Regionally, the benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area last month was $434,300, an increase of six per cent over July 2018. Although month-over-month price fluctuations are less useful for anticipating trends, it is interesting to note that several zones did experience small price reductions on single-family homes from June, including Campbell River, Comox Valley, Nanaimo, and Parksville-Qualicum. Trend-wise, VIREB’s housing market has transitioned from one favouring sellers to one that is balanced. Reports show that sellers now recognize that the market has shifted and are pricing their homes accordingly. However, the release of home assessments has caused some confusion among homeowners, who are not always aware the assessed value reflects trends that are several months behind the current market value, which is frequently lower. ” says Kevin Reid, 2019 President-Elect.

Campbell River Market Update for April 2019

Campbell River Market Update for April 2019

The monthly Campbell River Market Update for April 2019 shows, “Regionally, the benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area hit $421,000, an increase of four per cent over April 2018. Trend-wise, VIREB’s housing market has transitioned from one favouring sellers to one that is balanced. Balanced markets offer buyers more choice and more room to negotiate. Sellers need to curb their expectations but, in turn, buyers must also be willing to pay a fair price. We’re seeing many sellers who want to list their homes at 2016 and 2017 prices, expecting to get the same amount of money their neighbour did two years ago, which isn’t realistic. On the other hand, some buyers are questioning the fair market value of a home they’re interested in and choosing not to purchase, which is counterproductive.” says Kaye Broens, 2019 President.

Market Legend

  • 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.

Campbell River Market Update for March 2019

PropertyGuys.com Comox Valley & North Vancouver Island

Campbell River Market Update for March 2019

The monthly Campbell River Market Update for March 2019 shows, “Regionally, the benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area hit $417,200, an increase of eight per cent over March 2018. Trend-wise, VIREB’s housing market has transitioned from one favouring sellers to one that is balanced or near balanced. Balanced markets offer buyers more choice and more room to negotiate, while sellers will need to curb their expectations. Seller optimism regarding the value of their home is contributing to a sharp disconnect between buyers and sellers. We’re seeing many sellers who want to list their homes at 2016 and 2017 prices, expecting to get the same amount of money their neighbour did two years ago. Unfortunately, that just isn’t realistic.”, says Kaye Broens, 2019 President.

Campbell River Market Update for February 2019

The monthly Campbell River Market Update for February 2019 shows, “Locally, the benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area hit $418,100, an increase of eight per cent over February 2018. Trend-wise, despite continued price increases, VIREB’s housing market has transitioned from one favouring sellers to one that is balanced or near balanced. Balanced markets offer buyers more choice and more room to negotiate, while sellers may need to curb their expectations. When fewer buyers are competing for a property, sellers need to be far more strategic. We’ll conduct a comparative marketing analysis using recent sales data to determine an optimal selling price for your home. Sellers need to realize the glory days of 2016 and 2017 are over. We’re seeing a clear disconnect between buyers and sellers. Many people still want to list their homes at 2016 and 2017 prices, and that just isn’t realistic.” says Kaye Broens, 2019 President.

Campbell River Market Update for January 2019

The monthly Campbell River Market Update for January 2019 shows, “Last month, the benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area hit $412,300, an increase of 12 per cent over January 2018.. VIREB’s housing market has transitioned from one favouring sellers to one that is balanced or near balanced. Reports show fewer multiple offers, with many buyers taking more of a wait-and-see approach. Some are waiting until spring in the hope that inventory goes up and prices come down. Balanced markets offer buyers more choice and more room to negotiate, while sellers may need to curb their expectations. Right now, many sellers still want to list their homes at 2016 and 2017 sale prices, and that just isn’t realistic. When fewer buyers are competing for a property, sellers need to be far more
strategic. Use recent sales data to determine an optimal selling price for your home.” says Kaye Broens, 2019 President.
