Welcome to the monthly real estate statistics newsletter.

In both Nanaimo and the Parksville/Qualicum area we are continuing to see a shortage of inventory as we are down approximately 50% compared with the same month last year. Also the number of sales is approximately matching the number of houses for sale. All this has lead us to still having a high median selling price, many multiple offers and a continuation of it being a sellers market.
