Happy New Year to all our clients and friends!
Greater Victoria started 2020 with a gusty bang as a winter wind and rain storm arrived on New Year’s Eve that had BBQ covers and trampolines blowing through our neighbors’ yards – and as this is being typed, we are under a subsequent winter storm warning for the next 48 hours. We love these winter storms; they bring the rain that helps keep this part of the province so green (and so clean!) throughout the year.
2019 sales ended with sales volumes up 7.2% for December (versus December 2018), with total annual sales for 2019 decreasing by 1.5% over 2018 sales.
The MLS® single family detached Home Price Index (HPI) average Benchmark Value decreased by 0.6% from December 2018 to December 2018 to $855,000 – the same value for Condominiums in 2019 was $520,700, and increase of 3.5% over the 2018 average benchmark of $503,000 (all values for the Victoria Core areas).
We wish you all the best of health and happiness in 2020, please contact us for further looks ahead into the market for the New Year or if you’d like to discuss an evaluation of your home.
