April 2013 was my busiest month in quite some time. There were lots of showings, I had buyers coming in from out of town, and I managed to put deals together on two of my listings. Hopefully this is a sign that our sluggish market is picking up. Overall in the greater Victoria region, sales were up 5% over last year’s April sales – the first year-over-year monthly increase this year and the best April since 2010. Let’s dive into the Sooke numbers, shall we?
