VREB - Victoria Real Estate Board Realtors of Greator Victoria Current MLS速 Statistics: Greater Victoria Real Estate Sales Slow but Steady in Buyers' Market
December 3, 2012 VICTORIA BC - While the number of single-family home sales has held relatively steady over the last three months, Greater Victoria REALTORS速 are noting a year-over-year decrease that coincided with tighter mortgage regulations imposed in July of this year. Amortization periods were reduced to 25 years for high-ratio buyers - those with less than 20% down payments. "The change from a 30- to 25-year amortization can result in an additional $150 to $200 on the monthly mortgage payment, which is impacting many first-time homebuyers and limiting the number entering the market," says Carol Crabb, President of the Victoria Real Estate Board. Crabb also notes that the median price for a single-family home in Victoria remains relatively flat, increasing 1% over November 2011. "Sales may have slowed, but the median price of single-family homes has not decreased. Condominiums, the primary option for those first-time buyers, have a decreased median price of 10%." Total MLS速 sales for November 2012 were 366 compared to 373 the previous month; 202 single-family homes sold throughout the Victoria Real Estate Board's region, compared to 293 in November 2011. The median price for single family homes was $540,000, up 1% from last November's median of $536,500. The average price for the same period is up $48,373 (8%), but this is influenced by two sales over $2 million and one sale over $5 million. Month-over-month, the six-month average for single-family homes is flat. "We are now moving into the slower winter season. Both Canada Mortgage and Housing (CMHC) and Cameron Muir, Chief Economist of BC Real Estate Association, predict the next few months will mirror October and November, followed by slow growth for the balance of 2013," Crabb says. BC and Greater Victoria continue to experience strong full-time employment growth, an expanding population and low mortgage rates. Condominium sales remain stable with 98 in November 2012, compared to 92 in October 2012 and 104 in November 2011, although the year-over-year median price has declined 10%. Townhome sales declined 38% in 12 months, while pricing remains flat. Total Waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 6, down 4 from November 2011 Total Non-waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 196, down 97 sales from November 2011 Single Family Dwellings sold over $1 million: 17 (2 over $2 million, 1 over $5 million)

www.vireb.com November Sales Stats December 3rd, 2012 - NANAIMO, BC – Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) sales summary data
for November released by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) shows housing sales activity across Vancouver Island climbed nine percent compared to last year, while average sale prices dipped four percent. The average price of a single family home sold within the VIREB region in November was $317,708 down from the November 2011 average price of $332,438. The number of reported unit sales was up last month when compared to a year ago. In November 2011 there were 264 single family homes sold, in comparison 289 unit sales were recorded in November 2012. “It’s a case of steady as it goes in terms of the marketplace,” explained Cameron Muir, Chief Economist with the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). “There has been relative stability in sales and pricing on Vancouver Island in the last half of 2012. Into 2013 I think we can expect more of the same.” As of the end of November 2012 there were 2,397 single family homes available on the Multiple Listing Service® within VIREB’s coverage area, a slight decrease from the 2,410 homes in the system at the end of November 2011. “It’s a case of staying the course in terms of sales activity. We have a month that is up slightly and I expect next month to be much the same,” explained VIREB President Guy Bezeau. “There does seem to be greater interest in the lower end of the market, but with a good inventory and continuing low interest rates I anticipate buyers will continue to find the product out there attractive.” Comparing November 2012 to November 2011, the average sale prices across VIREB's six zones saw: Campbell River decrease six percent to $266,965, the Comox Valley dropped 14 percent to $301,596, Nanaimo’s average sales price dipped three percent to $348,624 from the November 2011 average price of $361,210, Parksville/Qualicum prices were up three percent to $375,639, Port Alberni/West Coast was down five percent to $195,200 while the Cowichan Valley increased four percent to $365,159. In terms of unit sales year to year there continued to be a wide disparity among the different zones last month. The Comox Valley region recorded a massive 51 percent increase in unit sales while Campbell River unit sales dropped 10 percent compared to November 2011. Port Alberni / West Coast recorded a 47 percent increase in unit sales on a year to year basis, Cowichan Valley sales were up 24 percent while other regions reported sales declines in the five percent range. It is always recommended to contact a local REALTOR® to receive an accurate picture of local sales trends as regional factors continue to dramatically alter the monthly statistical picture.
