Central Vancouver Island Real Estate Market Update

What's happening in the Central Vancouver Island real estate? Well the Central Vancouver Island market has certainly had some major changes with all the mortgage changes making buyers pass tougher stress tests with higher interest rates.

This has done a few things:

Buyers are more cautious therefore the Central Vancouver Island markets transactions have decreased creating more than usual price adjustments to the current listing database.

Buyers are having a hard time qualifying for the homes they want and are having to make lifestyle changes and rethink what is essential in their home search. This is in fact starting to drive up the interest in the $400-$500K price range in Nanaimo. Especially detached half duplexes are becoming a hot commodity as they are great value for new homes under $500K with potential to rent out spare rooms with their own access in the basement to students to supplement the affordability all while not giving up the features and size the new homes with suites have been offering.

Sellers are coming to realise that the past 12 months of a certain Central Vancouver Island sellers market has now shifted to a split market with an equal control shared between the buyers and sellers. Again, everything comes down to pricing in this market so one must be prudent when pricing their asset for sale and listen to what the market tells us and be ready to adjust if needed. 

There are also many different sub sectors of the 2 major markets "Nanaimo & Parksville/Qualicum Beach" that are having their own market trends all of which is too much to write about here just know there are many differences happening in all the different markets that we as licensed agents can advise you as to their intricacies.
