VREB - Victoria Real Estate Board Realtors of Greater Victoria Current MLS® Statistics: Strong Sales Activity Continues in Greater Victoria Real Estate Market
August 1, 2013
VICTORIA BC - Total real estate sales in Greater Victoria were up 11.5% in July 2013 over July 2012, the Victoria Real Estate Board reports. "Sales numbers are slightly lower than in June, but that’s part of our normal summer market cycle. When seasonally adjusted, our market activity remains strong for this time of year," says Shelley Mann, Board President. "Despite the brisk activity, we continue to see housing prices remain flat," Mann says. "With fewer properties listed at the end of July, we are still narrowly into a balanced market." With 583 sales in July and 4,772 active listings on the MLS® System at month end, the sales-to-active-listings ratio is 15%. Generally, analysts define a balanced market as when the ratio is between 15 and 20%. There were 345 single family homes sold in July, an increase of 17.7% over July 2012, while the median price of $521,000 is down 1.7% year over year from $530,000. There were 127 condominium sales with a median price of $265,000 and 70 townhomes sold at a median price of $360,750. "We are also seeing multiple offers on some properties," Mann says, "although these offers are not always over the asking price, illustrating the importance of consulting a REALTOR® to gain individual neighbourhood insight." Total Waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 18, up four over July 2012 Total Non-waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 327, up 48 over July 2012 Single Family Dwellings sold over $1 million: 19 (2 over $2 million)

www.vireb.com August 1, 2013 Steady Market Growth Continues Through Summer NANAIMO, BC – Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) sales summary data for July released by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) shows housing sales activity across Vancouver Island was up 12 per cent compared to last year, while average sale prices remained relatively stable. The average price of a single family home sold within the VIREB region in July 2013 was $333,056, which is comparable to the $334,530 average sale price recorded in July 2012. There was also a 12 per cent increase in unit sales for July 2013, where 433 units were recorded, in comparison to July 2012, when 385 single family homes sold. At the end of July 2013 there were 2,945 single family homes available on the Multiple Listing Service® within VIREB’s coverage area, down from the 3,317 homes in the system at the end of July 2012. In terms of unit sales year-to-year, there continued to be large variances among our different areas: Campbell River witnessed huge growth, reporting an 87% increase; Comox Valley unit sales increased by 12%; Nanaimo sales dipped 1%; Parksville/Qualicum sales rose 2%; Cowichan Valley saw a 25% increase, and sales for Port Alberni/West Coast remained virtually unchanged from last year. “There are a number of projects underway in the Campbell River area, and it seems this construction activity is directly contributing to the growth in their housing market,” said VIREB President, Gary Gray “This is a good example of what economic drivers can do to the market,” he stated. Cameron Muir, chief economist for the British Columbia Real Estate Association, felt the statistics were encouraging. He noted that, “the upward trajectory of sales show that demand is starting to come back. Home sales are up year-over-year, and flat pricing continues to indicate a balanced market condition.” Comparing July 2013 to July 2012, the average sale prices across VIREB’s six geographic areas saw: Campbell River remain virtually unchanged with average sales price listed at $296,789; Comox Valley up one per cent to $347,954; Nanaimo also went up one per cent to $362,918; Parksville/Qualicum prices remained relatively unchanged at $376,060; Port Alberni/West Coast increased by nine per cent to $250,910, while the Cowichan Valley was down two per cent to $327,410. VIREB represents nearly 1,000 REALTOR® members in nearly 90 member offices on Vancouver Island (north of Victoria).
