Comox Lake doesn't come up often. A property like this almost never does. 🌊

111 Horbury Road sits right on the water in Cumberland — and it's been done properly. Heated concrete floors, timber frame detail, a great room with a fireplace and lake views that stop you in your tracks. Nearly every room looks out at the water. That's not an accident, that's a home that was designed around where it sits.

Outside you've got expansive decks, a private dock, hot tub, sauna, and a separate lakeside studio. Whether you're hosting a crowd or just looking for a quiet morning on the water, this property handles both without breaking a sweat. 🛶
It's turnkey, it's genuinely one of a kind, and it's the kind of place people talk about for years after they visit.
A few things worth knowing before you reach out — this is a corporate share sale and not mortgageable, so it's worth a conversation with your financial advisor before booking a showing.

Your offer just got accepted. Now what? 🎉

That first phone call is the best part — but there's a solid week or two of important steps between "accepted" and actually getting the keys. Deposit deadlines, home inspections, finalizing your mortgage, working with your lawyer, home insurance, the final walk-through... it adds up fast.

We've seen buyers caught off guard by how quickly some of these timelines move, especially that deposit window. Being prepared makes the whole process a lot smoother.

RE/MAX put together a really clear breakdown of what to expect after your offer is accepted — worth a read whether you're buying for the first time or it's just been a while. 👇

Phase 2 of The Streams is ready — and we mean actually ready. Finished, move-in condition, no construction timeline to wait on. 📦

These townhomes sit within walking distance of downtown Courtenay, right on the Piercy Creek trail system 🌿, and next to a brand new playground. That combination is harder to find than it sounds — close to everything, but with green space and a neighbourhood that actually feels like one.

Inside you're looking at main level living, attached garages 🚗, big bedrooms, flex spaces for however your household uses them, and heated tile floors in every ensuite 🛁. Enclosed rear yards 🌱, pet friendly 🐾, and the kind of street where families and neighbours actually get to know each other.

1,532 to 1,678 sq ft. Starting at $699,900.

If you've been watching for something that's ready to go, this is worth a look. Give us a call and we'll show you around. 😊

Privacy, space, and a location that's hard to beat. 🌲

Tucked behind a gate in sought-after Seal Bay, this single-level home sits just minutes from the ocean and Seal Bay Park — and you won't find a neighbour on either side.

Inside you've got three large bedrooms, a warm and generous kitchen made for cooking and gathering, and a dining room that spills out onto a big deck wrapped in hedges. Outside there's a detached two-car garage, plenty of room for the RV or boat, and a fully fenced property that feels like your own little retreat.

What started as a modest modular has grown into something genuinely special. Quick possession available.

Still renting and wondering if the timing is getting close? A few honest signs it might be worth the conversation 👇

💰 Your income is steady — most lenders want two years in the same field, or consistent tax returns if you're self-employed.

📍 You're planting roots here. If you can see yourself in the Comox Valley for the next few years, the flexibility of renting starts to matter a lot less than the stability of owning.

🔑 You want your space to actually be yours — paint a wall, get a dog, fix things on your own timeline.

📈 You're tired of paying someone else's mortgage. Part of every mortgage payment builds equity that's yours.

💳 Your debt is manageable and you have a savings plan. You don't need to be debt-free. The minimum down payment in Canada starts at 5% — you might be closer than you think.

If a few of those hit home, it's worth a real conversation about what the market looks like and what a realistic timeline could be for you.
We're always happy to talk it through. 🏡

Buyer's market. Seller's market. You've probably heard both terms a lot lately — but what do they actually mean for you here in the Comox Valley? 🤔
The short version:

🏘️ In a buyer's market, there are more homes available than people looking to buy. Prices tend to be stable or softening, homes sit a bit longer, and buyers have more room to negotiate.
🔥 In a seller's market, it flips. More buyers than homes means things move fast, offers come in strong, and sellers often have the upper hand.

The Comox Valley has seen both over the past few years, sometimes shifting from one to the other faster than people expect. What's happening nationally doesn't always match what's happening here — this market has its own rhythms. 📍

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or just trying to figure out if now is the right time — understanding the conditions you're stepping into makes a real difference in how you prepare and what you can expect.

👉 New listing in Seal Bay — and this one's worth a look.
1864 Bates Road, Courtenay

This is the kind of place that takes a minute to sink in. Tucked behind a gate on a fully fenced property with hedgerows on all sides, you genuinely don't have neighbours crowding you — and yet you're just minutes from town and a short walk from Seal Bay Park and the ocean.

Pull up the driveway and you're greeted by a big bright detached two-car garage — the kind that actually gets used, whether that's for vehicles, a workshop, or that project you've been putting off. There's also plenty of room for an RV or boat, which out here is less of a bonus and more of a necessity.

Inside, the home feels warm and lived-in in the best way. The kitchen is generous, the living spaces are comfortable, and the three bedrooms are all a good size. The dining room opens onto a large deck that sits tucked behind the hedges — private, quiet, and the kind of spot you'll use more than you expect.

What started as a modest modular has been transformed into a solid, well-loved single level home. Quick possession available.
