So what is the West Coast market doing? Due to the changes CMHC (Canadian
Mortgage & Housing Corporation) made, as of April 19th, the market in
general has not necessarily come to a halt, however it has slowed. The
intention CMHC and the Canadian Government had was to slow the market down
in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. Not great for markets such as ours here on
the Island and other small communities, especially Kelowna and other parts of
Canada. The reality is, when interest rates go up, prices come down. When the
rules for qualifying for a mortgage are made harder to achieve, prices soften. I
agree, most of the retiree's most likely to buy here in our lovely retirement area isn't going to need a mortgage,
however the person buying their home does, therefore creating a ripple effect
all the way down to the first time buyer whom has essentially been pushed out of
the market entirely. Combine all of this with finally getting some warm weather and the total misunderstanding out there, in general, of how the HST effects real estate and we have a slower than usual market. The good news is, the savvy first time buyer, with great credit, will get off the fence and take advantage of some of the great opportunities available to them. I know you're out there!!!

It's been awhile since we last wrote and as always
we hope this newsletter finds you and your family well. The
above title pretty much says it all when it comes to what's happening in
our local market in regards to prices. 11 months has now passed with
little or no change to the average cost of buying a home. Some pockets
of the market are experiencing a very slight increase although, it's
still very much a Buyer's market. This despite an improving provincial
economy. Higher mortgage rates and tighter credit conditions for
low-equity home buyers and investors will squeeze some prospective
buyers out of
the market this spring, which will continue to keep the balance of the
buyers in drivers seat. Interest rates had to go up in order to keep the
market from taking off
and having a bigger burst in the bubble than we experienced during the
fall of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. The multiple offers we read and
hear about are geographical, which is why we had hoped CMHC would have
implemented tighter credit conditions in those markets that are doing
better than rest. The good news is, if you take a look at our local stats, you'll see the activity,
for single family home sales, is way up. The next page breaks the
market information into detail, it shows that 48% of the single family
homes on the market are selling. Certainly better than the 33% a year
ago. It's not a Seller's market until this number gets into the high
60's low 70's. The only part of the market that isn't doing as well, is
the apartment style condo's. Only 18% of those listed are selling
compared to the 13% last year for the month of March. How's it
going in our world you ask? We're doing phenomenal! We've
surpassed our first 1/4 of last year by leaps and bounds and I expect
our
area to stay active, regardless of what the news is telling you. A
reminder since our last newsletter we've implemented some added
features. New links to items we feel will be of value to you. Like
knowing the real truth today's real estate market,
our market statistics, among a few other
interesting bits of information. The best part is the Business Directory. It's constantly
under construction so be sure to check it out often. The folks listed in
this directory are people we have worked
with and believe do a great job. We just want to make sure you know who
they are too. If you have a business and would like to be included give
us a shout, we'll be happy to get you connected. We of course
are never too busy to serve you in any way we can. If you have a
question you would like answered personally, be sure to give us a
shout. Enthusiastically, Dawn
