Products and trends that are here to stay

The materials are flowing across my desk as I pour over products and places that I have encountered this year. In an effort to pull together my material for the Home Show this month, I am reminded of the various trends and products that have stood out in the industry. There is so much selection and choice these days, mostly at varying price points to suite any budget.

What did people do before there was such a home and garden craze? Before there were countless TV shows providing guidance and inspiration, and prior to the era of online material where suggestions and dreams are at our finger tips. Local retailers and hardware stores were where we would turn to.

from magazines to create our wish book. I have the privilege of visiting the local businesses to learn of the most up to date design and building trends on the market place. Here are a few that I think are here to stay.

Recessed ceiling light fixtures that fit into the existing electrical box: This product is a great option for those of use that are tired of having to chose from uninspiring dome lights needed to light hallways, closets and utility rooms.

They give the illusion of a pot light fixture, without the added cost and labor to convert the housing for such a product. They don’t provide quite the same light as a standard pot light, but they are sleek and visually disappear, providing a higher

end look to the space. They are also available in LED. Mixing metal finishes in a room: Golds, silvers, copper and bronze all provide their own interesting appearance and luster to a design. I love the look of mixing these materials to provide interest to a space. It is also practical when you are wanting to add the new material to existing décor. Keep pricey or more difficult items to replace in your favorite metal finish, and then add in a secondary finish that is easy to change out or replace if grow tired of it. Home décor and accessories are a great example of this.

Bold, Rich color and Pattern on your walls: Large patterned wallpaper, or deep, rich saturated hues a great way to make your

space your own. One of my favorite bedrooms to date was painted in a deep charcoal base color on the walls and then balanced with white furniture with textured throws and bedding to create a posh, luxurious sanctuary for my client. Wallpaper is a great way to experiment with your design style as well. They are available in many styles, colors and textures to suite your needs.

Real Estate Victoria

Another Busy Month in the Victoria Real Estate Market I think the strong uptick in the market has surprised many of us! The business cycles of real estate are affected by economic drivers and it’s clear that this cycle has all possible drivers running at top speed.

Many different factors may be contributing to this activity. Pent up demand from the slower years of 2008 to 2013, lower than historic mortgage rates, strong interest from out of town buyers, a buoyant economy that’s attracting job seekers and the lifestyle and beauty that Victoria and area offers all contribute to the activity we’ve seen this year.

A total of 1,121 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this March, an increase of 52.7 per cent compared to the 734 properties sold in the same month last year.

Inventory levels remain lower than the previous year, with 2,618 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of March, 30.5 per cent fewer than the 3,769 active listings at the end of March 2015.

The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in March 2015 was $569,700. The benchmark value for the same home in March 2016 has increased by 16.4 per cent to $663,300.

Though we represent a relatively small geographic area, there is variation in price and inventory in different neighbourhoods.

Areas near the downtown core continue to see high demand for houses and condos, as do most areas in the Peninsula. The West Shore has also strengthened considerably but pricing remains lower than in the core because there has been more inventory to meet demand. Further out of town there has been less demand, but overall all areas have now strengthened in sales. More than ever I encourage buyers and sellers to connect with a local REALTOR® to develop a strategic approach in this fast moving market.

Mike Nugent, President Victoria Real Estate Board
