Randi Masters VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD PRESIDENT

November Real Estate Sales Rise The number of property sales throughout Greater Victoria rose in November. Prices, meantime, remained mixed with gains for condominiums but some declines for single family homes and townhomes. A total of 479 homes and other properties sold in November through the Victoria Real Estate Board’s Multiple listing Service® (MLS®), up slightly from the 467 sales in October. There were 604 sales in November of last year. The number of sales has now risen for two consecutive months. The further increase in sales in November adds more weight to our belief that the market has now returned to a stable, balanced state. With declining inventories, some further increase in sales can be expected next year while prices will likely remain stable. There were 3,723 properties available for sale at the end of November – a decline of some 300 properties compared to October though still 25 per cent higher than a year ago. The median price for single-family homes sold in Greater Victoria last month declined to $530,000. There were 20 single family home sales of over $1 million in November including one sale in Oak Bay of over $5 million. There were 12 sales of over $1 million in October. The median price for condominiums in November rose to $290,000. The median price of all townhomes sold last month declined to $395,000.

Set on .8 of an acre this exceptional half timbered home with vast granite balustrade & steep hipped roof stands prominently as a testament to the turning of the 19th century and glory of Victoria’s yesteryear.

Located on one of the quietest Fairfield streets, this beautiful 1912 home has retained the original Arts and Crafts character in the living and dining rooms that are so sought after. From the beamed ceilings and built-in bookcases with the leaded doors, to the character fireplace and period light fixtures, you get the sense of a bygone era as you enter the home. But this home has modern touches too. The home was renovated extensively in the early 90's, with the addition of the office area / sun room at the rear of the home (new basement space under), new drywall on many of the walls and ceilings, recessed lighting, new stucco, marble and tile flooring, and the new finishing in the basement level, adding two bedrooms, a four piece bathroom, and the rec room... perfect family space. Two bedrooms on the main, two bedrooms in the lower, and a bathroom on both levels, with the gas furnace and hot water tank upgraded at that time. And the present owners have just added a new fibreglass-asphalt roof, topping the long list of recent upgrades to this house. Shall we talk about location? One block from the ocean at Ross Bay, about four blocks from Fairfield Plaza for shopping, about eight blocks to Beacon Hill Park or Cook Street Village, and an easy bike ride to downtown or Oak Bay. And Joseph Street is among the quietest and prettiest streets in Fairfield.

There are as many reasons as there are different lifestyles. Whatever your reasons, moving up to a new home can intensify the joys of home ownership. There are both practical and emotional results of moving up to a better home. On the practical side, the equity in your home will continue to grow and the value of a bigger and better home will be ultimately greater over time. On the emotional side, the pride of ownership in a bigger house will probably be even greater than when you bought your first home.

As will every major decision, the key component is thoughtful planning. Your options can be confusing at times but a REALTOR can help you make the right choices. Location, of course, will be one of the first choices you will need to make. There are almost as many individual choices on location as there are homes. If you want to move closer to the urban core you can be sure that there is somebody out there who is just as eager to move to the suburbs. If you want a house on a bigger lot to enjoy gardening, there’s someone looking for a smaller lot which requires less maintenance. With access to the Multiple Listing Service®) (MLS® ), a REALTOR can not only help you sell your present home for the best price possible, but also provide you with a customized list of homes for sale that meet your needs, wants and budget. He or she can then arrange for you to view the homes that appeal to you the most. If you are thinking of moving up to meet changes in circumstances and lifestyle, contact a REALTOR today for expert advice.

The desire to move to a larger home is often the result of changing needs for you and your family. A new child is on the way and you need a nursery; the children are growing and need their own rooms and more space to play; you’re tired of scrambling for a place to park on the street and want your own driveway; you need more space to build a home office now that you are selfemployed; or maybe you just need a change of scenery.

Helpful HINTS on Buying a Home Buying a home is likely one of the biggest investments you will ever make.

You will need to make a number of decisions about this purchase that should be based on the best information available. The best advice you can obtain on buying a home will come from a real estate professional -- a REALTOR®. REALTORS® are members of The Canadian Real Estate Association who subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and high Standards of Business Practice. Members of the Victoria Real Estate Board are members of both the British Columbia and Canadian Real Estate Associations. The following is a list of services you can expect to receive from a REALTOR® when you buy a home: • A REALTOR® will fully explain the details of your working relationship (called “agency”) so that you are clear as to when a REALTOR® is working for you or for the seller. • A REALTOR® has access to hundreds of current listings of homes for sale because of a co-operative system called the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®). A REALTOR® can provide you with a customized list of homes that best your needs -- size, style, features, location, proximity to schools, hospital and shopping, etc. – and then make arrangements for you to view those homes that appeal the most. • A REALTOR® will help you determine how big a home you can afford. Assessing the many financial alternatives is an important consideration when buying a home. REALTORS® are familiar with the local lending market and can offer helpful advice. • A REALTOR® has no emotional ties to any type or style of home and can be objective in pointing out the merits of one home over another. • A REALTOR® will have information on zoning changes, taxes, utility costs, school and recreation services that could affect your decision to buy a home in a specific area. • A REALTOR® will assist you in negotiating the terms of your purchase. Presenting offers and handling counter offers can be a nerve-wracking process for someone who is not experienced in the art of negotiating. • Finally, a REALTOR® will advise you of the legal process required in obtaining title and taking possession of your property. The costs associated with buying a home such as insurance, mortgage registration and legal fees will be explained in detail. A REALTOR® 's knowledge and skill can help in many ways to make the experience of buying a home a pleasant and rewarding one for you and your family.

Why Use a REALTOR? Buying, selling or leasing a home or other property is likely to be one of the most important financial decisions you will make. That's why it makes sense to have a trained, knowledgeable professional on your side who can give you expert guidance throughout the real estate transaction. The value a REALTOR brings to your next real estate transaction cannot be underestimated. In addition to access to the Multiple Listing Service速 (MLS速) that ensures properties for sale or lease receive the widest exposure possible, REALTORS can help take the stress out of buying, selling or leasing. This means you have more time to devote to other important matters. REALTORS are skilled negotiators who can qualify potential buyers and draw up enforceable contracts. Your REALTOR knows your neighbourhood -- REALTORS assess market conditions and property values daily and have access to detailed market resources. Your REALTOR also has been educated on the complex laws and regulations affecting real estate and can give you valuable advice to help ensure your interests are protected.

Good Reasons for

using a REALTOR® It is unlikely that you can afford to gamble with what has probably been the largest single investment you have made, namely your home. You may be surprised to learn, however, that some people are willing to take that chance. Selling a home without the help of a REALTOR® is not as easy as it may appear to the uninitiated. Ask yourself the following: Do I know its true market value? Am I aware of the legal “ins and outs”? Can I arrange suitable financing? Can I qualify a potential buyer? Can I negotiate to a successful close? Can I write an enforceable contract?

In today's market, you get what you pay for and if you want the job done right, you use a professional. Today's complex market demands expertise and market resources not available to the average citizen. There are several very compelling reasons why you should enlist the professional services of a REALTOR®. Consider the following:

6. Your REALTOR® has been educated on the complex laws and regulations in real estate and is trained to put together a legally binding contract. 7. Negotiating price is an art. Your REALTOR® will negotiate objectively in order to get the best possible price for your home. 8. REALTORS® are on call and are usually available seven days a week to show your home. 9. Your REALTOR® is aware of the many options available for financing the sale, and has the latest information on mortgages. 10. Moving up or down? Your REALTOR® can open the doors to thousands of properties through MLS® and provide you with an up-to-date computerized list of homes suited to your needs, wants and budget.

1. Chances are your REALTOR® can get you a higher price for your property than if you tried to sell it yourself. 2. You will likely sell your home a lot faster when you use the services of a REALTOR®. 3. Listing your home for sale through a REALTOR® on the Victoria Real Estate Board's Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) means you get the widest possible exposure for your home. MLS® is a cooperative marketing system designed to bring sellers and buyers together. If you are serious about selling your home, then you should seriously consider using ® 4. REALTORS have the skills and resources to market your home effectively. the experts. REALTORS® are real estate marketing specialists. Let them deliver the 5.
