A late spring bloom for Victoria real estate market...

A total of 848 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this May, 12.3 per cent more than the 755 properties sold in May 2018 and a 21.8 per cent increase from April 2019. Sales of condominiums were up 3 per cent from May 2018 with 244 units sold and were up from April 2019 by 20.2 per cent. Sales of single family homes were up 9.6 per cent from May 2018 with 445 sold. "We are seeing lower activity than we have experienced in recent years for spring home sales," says Victoria Real Estate Board President Cheryl Woolley. "Of course, this is not surprising given consumers are impacted by the B20 mortgage stress test, as well as ongoing lower inventory levels.

"Shirin was wonderful to work with. She listened to our expectations for selling, helped formulate a plan and sold our house in record time! We found her very professional!"

"I've had AWESOME experience working with Shirin as my Realtor. We left our home in Toronto in Dec 2016 and took a bold step in buying a house in Victoria in April 2017 but knew no one here. She communicated with my whole family about differing needs staying in constant contact with important information - both basic and complex stuff. She listened in terms of adapting to our needs from understanding our time frame to giving references/contacts to sharing local knowledge honestly. She is hardworking, technology savy, detailed oriented, tenacious!."

"When it comes to buying, insuring you make the right decision is my priority and I have your long term, best interest at heart. If something is not right for you, I will tell you, straight. When it comes to selling, I take marketing to an entirely new level. Call me to find out how!"
