Visiting the Gulf Islands How do you decide which ones to see first?

The islands share West Coast natural beauty and weather, and a culture forged from generations of independentthinking residents, yet each has its own character, history and amenities, which are readily discerned through a visit or two.

They range substantially in size, population and services, but all of them offer safe, rural environments and a sense of getting away from it all — not that they don’t hum with activity on weekends during the height of visitor season.

Read about each island on our website gulfislandstourism.com - and find what piques your interest. You can plan a trip around one of the many special events.

The Gulf Islands have long been described as a place to relax, rejuvenate and recharge from the hectic pace of today’s busy life. And the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve offers a host of incredible experiences for you to accomplish those goals. Surrounded by growing urban centres, the islands are an oasis of sorts, offering an opportunity to connect with the landscape and revel in the life that thrives within it.

Whatever you seek and whatever you discover, we know that once you’ve seen the Gulf Islands for yourself, you’ll stop wondering why they’re such a celebrated part of the world.

BEST TIME TO SELL IS IN A SELLER’S MARKET When there is the least competition!

That’s right now....

The number of Single Family Dwellings listed for sale on MLS - VREB** remains low, with 63 residences, of which only 12 are priced under $500,000!

WHY the “QUIET SEASON” is a GOOD TIME TO LIST YOUR HOME!

The least number of houses are available to view in winter since many homes are “temporarily off the market” while owners are away. Many listings come “back on the market” in addition to the usual new spring supply.

Lowest annual inventory is usually January - February.

DECEMBER 6 - FEBRUARY 6, 2018

Don’t overdo it when planning pre-sale renovations Ask three questions before going ahead Many homeowners have lofty goals for their homes.

Such plans may include extensive renovations or even additions. While many of these projects create beautiful changes in a home, it’s important to consider the impact that renovations can have on property value before beginning a project.

Many home improvement projects do not add as much value as homeowners may think they do. In fact, some homeowners “overbuild” for their neighbourhoods. This means the amount of money invested in improvements can likely never be recuperated because the house value simply exceeds those around by too much money. To avoid overbuilding, homeowners can ask themselves several questions before beginning a renovation project.

Time for an

UPDATE?

1) Will my house be the largest house in the neighbourhood? Larger homes tend to have a lower price per square foot, so you may not want to improve to this extent.

2) Will the house blend with others in the area? If your house will stick out like a sore thumb, it will detract from its own value and could impact the value of other homes in the area.

3) Have I examined the cost vs. value of the project?

Many home improvement resources analyze the cost of a project versus the overall value of that project with regard to property value. For example, a $100,000 basement remodel may not add $100,000 to the value of the home in the event you choose to sell down the line. It’s important to know which projects provide the best return on investment.
