Is it the right time to buy?

A lot of people have been asking me lately if now is a good time or a bad time to buy or sell a home.  Certainly there are people who will have to carefully weigh the implications of the recent interest rate hikes, but there are also some real positives to consider in the market as it is today.

We are blessed to live in a beautiful part of the British Columbia and a desireable part of the country.  Because of the climate, the natural beauty and the amenities that Vancouver Island has to offer, there are always people who will want to move here.  Add people who are changing jobs, changing life circumstances or some who want to downsize from their lifelong "family home" to a more manageable home in retirement; the market here is always going to have activity.  Another real positive is that because things in the real estate market have calmed down a bit in the last year, buyers are in a much stronger position.  They can take more time to evaluate a property and make a decision that really works for them.  And then can include things like inspection and financing terms in an offer.  

For sellers, it's a calmer market that has aleviated some of the craziness of the last couple of years, while still showing strong, steady activity.  

If you have any questions about buying or selling your own home, contact me anytime and we can find the answers together.

NOTE THE PRICE REDUCTION! The perfect family home priced to fit a modest budget. Immaculate! If you think I'm exaggerating, look at the pictures. & then come & see. - AND FALL IN LOVE! & your love won't cost an arm & a leg here. It could be yours for as little as $20,000 down. (call me for details.) & low maintenance: Roof- 3 yrs. old, Hot water - 2, Heat Pump - 1.5. 3 very spacious bedrooms. - The Master Suite & ensuite are straight out of better home & gardens. The kitchen is designed for a family that loves to cook & eat together. You would have to add at least another $400,000 to get the equivalent on its own land anywhere. & even the heating cost is economical, as the complete Heat Pump system supplies both heat & air conditioning. Burnham Park is a mix of Family & Senior sections. So if you have young children you should have no problem finding lots of mature babysitters. Plus a fully fenced back yard to keep your dog safe & secure. Plus a wired, heated separate workshop.
