VIREB President Jim Stewart says; “We are definitely seeing a levelling of the Real Estate market. But that means there are some great opportunities for buyers. Good properties, properly priced properties are moving. It’s always important to talk with your REALTOR® for the latest information on the marketplace. Now is an especially important time to rely on their expertise.”
“I think what we’re really seeing is what could only be called a normal market,” explained VIREB President Elect Guy Bezeau. “We’re not seeing any radical increases, and with historically low mortgage rates there has never been a better time to get into home ownership.”
For the 12-month period from the end of November 2010 to November 2011, average sale prices across VIREB's six zones saw: Campbell River jump by 10 % (to $283,562), the Comox Valley went up 3% (to $348,704), Nanaimo increased 4% (to $361,210), Parksville/Qualicum dipped 15% (to $364,505), Port Alberni/West Coast went down 16% to $205,088 and the Cowichan Valley was down 3% (to $351,212).
