The highest activity was in singlefamily homes and condominiums. Compared to February 2012, sales were down by 18.26%. Shelley Mann, President of the Board, says it’s more important to look at monthly trends and compare monthly buying behaviour yearoveryear. “The trend lines for November, December and January are the same for the last three years. “We’ve seen a slow increase in sales activity over the last three months and we still hold to our forecast of a modest 24% sales increase in 2013,” Mann says. “The typical spring market is perking up. I spoke to 10 REALTORS® yesterday and nine said they are experiencing definite increases in their activity over the last two months and have a positive outlook. Many buyers are still waiting for prices to drop, but it’s clear to me that sellers are in a holding pattern regarding the value of their homes,” Mann says. “However, if a house is priced properly, within the market value range, it will likely sell more quickly.” The median price of a single family home is $505,500 compared to $530,250 in February 2012, a decrease of 4.67%. The sixmonth average shows an increase of less than one percent yearoveryear, and a less than one percent decrease over last month. “In other words, no change,” Mann adds. There were 112 condominium sales in February, a 38.27% increase over January 2013. While the median price of $270,500 for condominiums is down 2.08% yearoveryear, it increased 13.49% over January 2013. Townhouses saw increased sales in the past month with a median price of $337,500, which is down by 11.65% yearoveryear and 10.82% since January 2013. Current active listings at the end of February were 4,072. Total Waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 12, up 5 over February 2012 Total Nonwaterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 203, down 55 sales from February 2012 Single Family Dwellings sold over $1 million: 11 (3 over $2 million) While the use of average price information can be useful in establishing trends when applied over a period of time, e.g. six months or longer, the Victoria Real Estate Board cautions that an average price does not indicate the actual value of a property in a particular neighbourhood. Those requiring specific information on property values in their area should contact a REALTOR®.
