The year is off to a fairly good start, activity was a little slow at the beginning of January but sales picked up about half way through the month!! This is not uncommon for this time of year. The weather has kept things a bit on the quiet side as we experienced some cold weather with that dreaded snow that made the appeal for our recreation buyers a bit on the slower side. This was really obvious over the Christmas period last year as we had one of the slowest festive seasons on the selling front in a number of years!!

 

The market in general is healthy with listing counts not rising too dramatically. We keep hearing the effects the “sub prime” market has put on the US real estate markets, I just want to reconfirm that we are not experiencing what the U.S.A. is experiencing!!

 

We will be starting to see the military families getting their posting notices so the listing inventory of homes in Courtenay, Courtenay East and Comox will increase in the coming months. At the same time we will see new families posted to CFB Comox arriving on house hunting trips looking for a new home!!

 

Well, the hot spot for number of sales this month was the Town of Comox with 12 residential sales followed by Cumberland with 9 sales. In third place was Courtenay East with 7 single-family sales. The average residential home sale price for the month of January in the Comox Valley is sitting at $330,479, this is an 11% increase in value since January 2007!!

 

Active residential listings on the market are sitting at 332 with 128 new listings coming on in the month in January!! The condominium/apartment market has 167 active listings with 43 new listings for the month & condominium/townhouse market have 52 active listings with 13 new listings for the month of January.

Only the finest details combine with stylish design to create a living space you’ll love to get away to. A building consciously designed with the environment in mind, to enhance the spectacular views, to brighten and enrich your comfort and livability. Wildwood is the first of its kind at Mt. Washington, a truly sophisticated retreat.

These 3 bedroom townhomes are right across the street from Strathcona Park and you are minutes away from the Hawk High Speed Chair. Price at $399,900 they are an incredible buy and value for Mt Washington.
