SALT SPRING ISLAND


Home to over 10,000 people, Salt Spring Island offers a variety of real estate options. Luxury estates, farms, townhomes, mobile homes, vacation cottages, businesses, acreages, and family homes make up the available properties here. With locations from village centre to off the grid, and prices from starter homes to luxury estates, there is something for everyone. Salt Spring Island is inclusive and caring, and welcomes all to share the beauty of this place.

by Gail Neumann

Island Living... Mountains, forests, and meadows form a secluded world within reach of BC’s greatest cities, but separated by time and tide. Deep in the mists, artists make their homes while scores of studios and galleries dot the Island. Whether raising families or retiring from the rush of professional careers, these entrepreneurs display creativity, courage and tenacity. The rewards for this lifestyle are multitude; including life amid spectacular nature, a self-directed agenda, a quiet rural lifestyle, talented and friendly neighbours, and world-class opportunities.

Good for the Soul... A sparkle of diamonds paves the borders of Salt Spring as waves gently lap the shore. Sailboats ride the wind while fish boats’ slow passage draw the attention of gulls. On shore, gardeners soak up the early sun and children run and shout with team spirit. Hikers take to the hills savouring Salt Spring’s unique ecosystems as the early spring energizes humanity to move outdoors. Hiking trails of various levels meander through spectacular forests and along ocean shores. Four lakes offer public access for swimming and non-motorized watercraft, while Rainbow Road indoor pool offers swim and recreational programs. Ruckle Provincial Park hugs the ocean with a working heritage farm, camping, access for fishing, kayaking, hiking trails, wind surfing and more. When the sun sets, islanders enjoy entertainment at one of Salt Spring’s many lively venues. Artspring Theatre, four community halls and various schools & churches all offer music, drama, and educational, political or social justice events. Indoors or out... Salt Spring Island satisfies the soul.

GOLD AWARD 2014

Jan Macpherson, M.E.S., R.I.(B.C.)

2014

VREB GOLD & RE/MAX PLATINUM Award Winner - 2014.

WHY the “QUIET SEASON” is ... A GOOD TIME TO LIST YOUR HOME! The least number of houses are available for buyers to view in winter since many homes are temporarily off the market while owners are away. Many listings come “back on the market” in spring.

PRESIDENT’S AWARD 2013

20

12

“Quiet Season Buyers” tend to be “SERIOUS BUYERS”. It is my belief that the ratio of number of showings to offers is highest during the winter & early spring months than in summer. Make your home stand out from the crowd when there are the fewest number of listings. Choose your timing for best success.

INCREASED DEMAND + DECREASED SUPPLY = BEST TIME TO LIST Obtain, with no obligation or cost:

* Expert Marketing Advice * Detailed Pricing Analysis

* Insightful Staging & Presentation Tips * Negotiating Strategies Consultation.
