Welcome to the monthly real estate statistics newsletter.

The real estate market here on the Island continues to be similar to other parts of Canada in that it is still very much a sellers market. Sales have more than doubled, while although we have seen an increase in new listings the number of active listings is running at approximately half of what we would see at this time of year. This has all contributed to sold median prices being approximately 30% higher.

Canada's mortgage regulator has proposed increases to the stress test for uninsured mortgages so buyers will have to qualify at their interest rate plus two percentage points or 5.25%, whichever is higher. The 5.25% is an increase on the current 4.79% which is the current average posted rate at Canada's biggest lenders. Whether this...

Immaculate top floor unit that is not just one of the largest in the building but also has one of the best locations in the building. It is sited in the corner overlooking the fountain & the green space behind with a very private balcony. This unit also has a unique floorplan with high ceilings & has been recently painted making it very light and airy. This is a popular building as the strata fee includes gas and hot water plus water, sewer, garbage & maintenance, which helps to offset the strata fee. The building also has a great activity room with exercise machines, fireplace, reading area, bathroom & small kitchen.

Welcome to the monthly real estate statistics newsletter for February 2021.

The Bank of Canada announced last week that they are holding their current rate so we will continue to see low mortgage rates. The message seems to be that money could be 'cheap' until 2023, or possibly longer considering the crippling debt loads the country faces. This combined with the continuing low inventory levels and high demand means that bidding wars are still happening on a regular basis.

Welcome to the monthly real estate market report newsletter for January 2021.

As we move into 2021 we are still seeing a shortage of homes for sale which is resulting in buyers competing with each other. Looking back at the previous 10 years the past two months have seen the lowest number of active single family freehold homes for sale in both the Nanaimo and Parksville/Qualicum areas. We should see the numbers increase as we move into Spring, which may relieve some of the pressure. However, we are still hearing from homeowners that they want to list but cannot find anywhere to buy so are holding off listing their home and that some are not listing yet until the Covid pandemic is more under control. This combined with our population numbers increasing (Nanaimo is now at 100,000) and our...
