A MISTAKE!

Every year at this time, many homeowners decide to wait until the spring to put their home on the market. Purchasers that are looking for a home during these colder months are serious buyers and are ready to buy. Inventory is at a record low right now and the supply of listings increases substantially as the weather improves creating more competition.

ith the holidays over, the Christmas tree and ornaments packed away. The home can feel a little bland and empty. It lacks the warm glow from the tree lights, the twinkle and bling from the decorations, and the scents and smells from the fresh foliage that decks the halls.

or shift things around this time of year. I like to see it as the perfect motivation to add a little life and change into my space.

I am in love with a new trend that we are going to see a lot of in 2016. My newest obsession is the addition of one black or very, very dark gray wall to a room. It adds an element of drama and creates a

backdrop for the rest of the design.

It looks sophisticated and stunning when paired with other shades of grays and whites. Accompanied by lots or texture and warm fabrics, this wall can look stunning! Many are afraid to give it a try because it absorbs a lot of light and can make a room seem dark. However, it is all about adding balance to the space and breaking it up with elements like white frames and accessories, or a large mirror to add sparkle.

Brighten up the black wall with bright accessories, or metal tones. You will find that artwork comes alive off of the surface, and other elements pop that much more. Don’t be afraid, it is only paint. A couple of my favorite paint colors to achieve this look are

Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze SW 7048 or Iron Ore SW 7069.

Victoria Real Estate Board President’s Message The year’s real estate market ended with a bang! We wrapped up 2015 with numbers we haven’t seen since 2007. This past year we saw 8,295 transactions on the Multiple Listing ServiceŽ, an ncrease of 23.8 per cent from last year.

A total of 465 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this December, an increase of 19.5 per cent compared to the 389 properties sold in the same month last year.

There were 2,517 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing ServiceÂŽ at the end of December, 21.6 per cent fewer than the 3,210 active listings at the end of December 2014. The Multiple Listing ServiceÂŽ Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in December, 2014 was $560,900. The benchmark value for the same home in December 2015 has increased by 9.4 per cent to $613,600.

The Victoria Real Estate Board serves more than 1,200 REALTORŽ Members. The great news for our Board’s membership is that in 2015 more than sixteen thousand buyers and sellers hired a local agent to sell or purchase a property. Our profession couldn’t be happier about that kind of consumer confidence. With a market that’s ever-changing, and with a transaction process that gets more complicated each year, now more than ever buyers and sellers need the expertise of a Realtor. Whether it’s pricing a home in this evolving environment, finding a home before others do, or navigating a multiple offer situation through to success, our members are up for the task.

What to look forward to in 2016? It’s hard to imagine 2016 won’t bring more of the strong demand we saw throughout 2015. The inventory available for sale lags behind historical levels and if sales continue to be strong, it will be hard for inventory to bounce back. Sales show no sign of slowing this spring and Victoria remains one of the most popular destinations to live in the country. All of this points to a continued strong market.

Guy Crozier, Past President Whatever your needs are, a REALTORÂŽ can help.
