Victoria real estate market shakes off winter doldrums

A total of 563 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this February, 33.7 per cent more than the 421 properties sold in February 2019 and 37 per cent more than in January 2020. Sales of condominiums were up 35.7 per cent from February 2019 with 175 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased 23.7 per cent from January 2020 with 271 sold.

"February brought the bloom of an early spring market," says Victoria Real Estate Board President Sandi-Jo Ayers. "Sales numbers are up substantially from last year, which in part indicates that our spring market may have arrived a bit earlier than a lot of our local blossoms. Additionally, we need to consider that last year's sales activity was quite weak until April and May. Despite a thirty plus percent increase in total sales over last year, our ten-year average for total sales in February is 537, so we are within less than five per cent of our long-term average for the month."

"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!"
