Hello!
The Fall market has arrived. The market has picked up after the Summer and we are still seeing very low inventory and high Buyer demand. In most price ranges under $2million we are back to a market that is designed for multiple offers and Buyer's competing for properties. When you get into acreage and higher end properties things slow down a little depending on what it is. Saying that, there are still some deals and opportunities out there. You need to have your ducks in a row to purchase, or know where you are going if you sell. We are seeing some really high prices on single family detached in areas like Brookswood, Murrayville, and Walnut Grove. Recently I have had several clients sell in Langley and move to the island for a different lifestyle and cheaper real estate. If you have any questions about the market please reach out and I would be happy to help.
Hello!
As I look back at July and August we saw a definite cooldown of the market. However, we are still dealing with extremely low inventory, low-interest rates, and Covid. I suspect this Fall market to pick up and continue to be a competitive market for Buyers as low inventory continues and demand stays high. I have previously not found federal elections to have much of an immediate impact on the local real estate market. As always, I am here to help if you have any questions regarding real estate.
PS. I wrote an article below on a new ALR rule coming into effect later this year.
As of December 31, 2021, new rules will allow property owners in the
ALR an option to have both a principal residence and a small secondary
residence.
If the principle residence is under 5,382sqft, then a secondary detached
residence up to 969sqft can be built. The principal residence is also
allowed a legal suite. This will make ALR land a great option for families
who are looking for multi-generational living!
We made a great informational video, click here to watch.

Hello!
Hope you are enjoying all of this beautiful weather we have been having! I have some exciting news to announce and a quick market update for you.
The detached homes market has definitely cooled down. I am not seeing the same volume of Buyers and multiple offers like I was this Spring. Some homes are taking longer to sell and offers with subjects have come back into the norm. This means that Buyers have a little more choice, and can take some more time before committing to a purchase. Townhomes and condos are still quite busy. Saying that, inventory in general is still extremely low and I would not be surprised if we see the market pick back up again this Fall. If you are looking to purchase this year, it might be a good time to jump on something during this lull
