Real estate market report for August 2023

Welcome to the monthly real estate statistics newsletter.
 
On September 6th the Bank of Canada announced they were holding the key interest rate at 5% - the next interest rate announcement is due on October 25th.

Single family median sold prices seem to be holding to similar amounts to the same time last year although sales are up but inventory levels are down. Historically we do see the real estate market pick up in the fall and I think that looking into my crystal ball we will see that, combined with the interest rate announcement, we will see it get busier over the next couple of months.

Synopsis for Nanaimo

The graphs below show the median sold price, sold numbers and number of new listings since the beginning of each year (freehold homes only.)

Median Sold Price:



 

Sold Numbers:



 

Number of new listings:



 

The following graphs shows the % difference of the housing price index (HPI) from the same month 6 and 12 months ago. It is split into the different sub-areas (the overall figure for Nanaimo is on the left of the graph) and is for single family homes.






 

The following graphs are for Nanaimo and show the sales numbers against new listings and sales numbers against total active listings. This is helpful to show how the market is doing as the closer the 2 lines come together on each graph generally indicates a busy active market.







 

The following graph is for Nanaimo and shows the months of inventory. This is the time it would take the current freehold, single family homes for sale, to sell, if no new homes were listed, which indicates whether we have a sellers, balanced or buyers’ market.



 
 
These figures do concentrate on single family homes but if you would like similar information for other property types, such as apartments or patio homes, or specific geographical areas of Nanaimo or Parksville/Qualicum, then I would be more than happy to discuss those with you as well.
 
As always I hope you find these monthly newsletters informative and if at any time you or any of your friends, relatives or co-workers are looking for a professional realtor to help them buy or sell a home, or just have a real estate question, please call my personal cell, 250-739-1228, or drop me an email.
 
Thank you,
Ian
