MARKET TRENDS... we can’t predict the future.... however we can examine statistics.

The active listing count & sales count, prepared by the Victoria Real Estate Board for Single Family Dwellings, can be viewed as indicators of housing supply & demand.

The ratio between them helps indicate a “buyer’s, balanced or seller’s market”.

The chart for Victoria indicates that as of March 2015 the market is transitioning from a “balanced market” to a “seller’s market”.

On Salt Spring, when considering the drop in the months of inventory by about 25% in March as compared to February, which way do you think the market is trending?
