A Return to a Seller’s Market in Greater Victoria?
Yesterday, the Victoria Real Estate Board released statistics for February 2015. While the rest of the country contended with a seemingly never-ending winter, the cherry blossoms were out early in Victoria and vicinity, and so, apparently, were the buyers.
Sooke Real Estate Statistics – August 2013
August was much busier this year than in 2012 – not only in Sooke, but all over the Capital Region. Personally, most of the business I did was carried over from July, and was finished by the first week. From there on it was rest and relaxation the rest of the month, while managing theContinue reading “Sooke Real Estate Statistics – August 2013”
Sooke Real Estate Statistics – July 2013
Sales activity in Sooke was nearly the same as it was in 2012, with prices remaining fairly flat overall. It is still my opinion that while prices seem flat, they are actually declining.

Sooke Real Estate Statistics – April 2013
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, salesContinue reading “Sooke Real Estate Statistics – April 2013”
Sooke Real Estate Statistics – March 2013
Looking back on last month, I’m not sure if March came in like a lion, but it certainly went out like a lamb. What an amazing Easter long weekend we just had. I spent the weekend with family in from out of town, and enjoyed the way warmer-than-usual weather on my patio with a coldContinue reading “Sooke Real Estate Statistics – March 2013”
Sooke Real Estate Statistics – February 2013
Ah February, we hardly knew ye! The shortest month of the year has come and gone – and not including my trip to Winnipeg, I didn’t see a single snowflake – it looks like we’ve escaped winter this year in Sooke. But how did the real estate market do this month?
Strong Start to 2013 for Sooke Sales – Sooke Real Estate Statistics – January 2013
