Happy Summer Holidays to all the students, teachers, and other education workers!

Happy long weekend to all!

Yesterday was the summer solstice and so now we are full into this warm and playful season.

Here's wishing for many days of wonderful weather (though enough rain to keep the forest fires at bay).

What are you looking forward to this summer?

The condominium market is hot right now, although not across the full spectrum of available inventory. If you’re trying to sell a downtown Victoria studio or one-bedroom apartment, chances are you’ll have low traction. If you have a two-bedroom, two-bath unit for sale in a suburban neighbourhood you will have buyers lining up.”

The high interest rate environment has driven investors away from entry level condos, typically a primary target among small-time landlords, while owner-occupiers of studio and one-bedroom units are cautious about the downtown market where the prevalence of condominiums are situated. This has created a bump in inventory and downwards pressure is likely for sellers who must liquidate their holdings

If listings do not pick up over this season, there is a risk that the price stabilization could turn and we could see prices increase. All indications are leading towards a busy summer market.

Though we are seeing some multiple offers in our market, these situations are dependent on a number of factors including price, competition, area, condition of home, etc. Overall, consumer confidence in the market has returned. Accurately priced homes are selling quickly and close to list price. Homeward Bound Real Estate Team can help you understand the pulse of the market should you be contemplating buying or selling this summer.
