VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD PRESIDENT

Season's Greetings A Message from Victoria Real Estate Board President Dennis Fimrite On behalf of the REALTORS速 of Greater Victoria, I wish you Happy Holidays and a prosperous year in 2012. Real estate continues to play a leading role in the economic vitality of our community and of our province. The Greater Victoria area real estate market began the year with a relatively slow market but activity picked up by mid-year with stronger sales over the summer months compared to 2010. Despite the global economic uncertainty, we have enjoyed balanced market conditions throughout the year and there is every expectation that we will see continued stability as we move into 2012. With our attractive climate, beautiful surroundings and a strong, diversified economy, the Victoria area will always be a destination of choice for people looking for a great place to live and work. This will mean continued demand for home ownership which is good news for both buyers and sellers. As REALTORS速, we are proud to serve your real estate needs. Whether you are considering buying, selling or leasing, we look forward to providing you with the highest level of professional real estate services in the coming year and beyond. Again, our best wishes for the holiday season and may you and your family have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

CHEAPER THAN RENT

in The Housing Market

IMMEDIATE POSSESSION $159,900

Has the prospect of moving into a bigger and better home been in your plans from the day you first bought your “starter” home? Well, now may be just the right time to make it happen.

Probably the best buy in Sooke for the money. This two bedroom condo is located in downtown Sooke on a no-thru street. About a 2-4 minute walk to shopping. Approximately 1100 sq.ft. with new laminate flooring, new tiled kitchen countertops with double sink and new kitchen cabinet doors. Recently renovated 4 pce. bath. Appliances. Very convenient and quiet location. No vehicle required. Within 2 to 5 min. walk to most amenities and Sooke to Victoria bus. Next door to Ayre Manor full care nursing home. Steps to the Royal Canadian Legion & Mom’s Cafe. Assumable with qualification mortgage of about $145,000 @ 3.39% with monthly payments of $610 plus the strata fee of $175 equals a base rent of $785 plus utilities, taxes after the grant plus content insurance. Strata fee includes water and garbage and building insurance. Rentals permitted ($850 min. per month) & pets. ML 298807. Reduced to $159,000.

You may be surprised to learn that the cost of moving up is within your means. The equity you have already built up in your current home can often be sufficient for the down payment for your next home. And, with today's attractive mortgage rates, carrying charges need not be much larger than what you are paying now. A REALTOR® can help you calculate the carrying costs on a “move up” home.

Changing Needs

Development Property:

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 self-employed; or maybe you just need a change of scenery.

Located right across from the Sooke Post Office, this 1/2 acre lot has huge potential. Fronts on West Coast Road and access from the rear from Atherly Close. Present community plan indicates residential but the municipality has indicated a mixture of commercial and residential. Existing 2 bedroom would yield a min. of $1,000 per month rent Subdivided off the house and still have approximately a 15,000 sq.ft. lot for 25 condo site. Make a great car wash / easy lube site which Sooke could use, with the two accesses. Good ocean views available from 2nd / 3rd storey building. Separate 20x20 garage / workshop. Great holding property. ML 299040. Seller may consider assisting with financing. Offered at $499,900.

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.

Ron “Fuzzy” Fedosenko

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.

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. This article is provided by the Victoria Real Estate Board.
