SEPTEMBER MARKET UPDATE 🏡
There’s more to the Cowichan Valley market than the detached-home headline, so this month I’m widening the lens.
Along with my usual single family detached stats, I’ve added condos, townhouses and land to give a better picture of what’s happening across our local market.
September was an interesting month. Detached sales fell to 46 while active inventory climbed to 355. The average sale price also dropped sharply from August to $778,119, but that number needs some perspective. It was still slightly higher than September of last year, which is a good reminder that one month’s average doesn’t necessarily mean home values moved by the same amount.
The expanded stats also show just how different each segment of our market can be. Condos, townhouses, land and detached homes each have their own level of inventory, sales activity and price point.
That’s why the question isn’t simply “How’s the market?” It’s “How’s the market for the kind of property I’m buying or selling?”
That’s the conversation I’m always happy to have.
Because moving should feel confident, not complicated.
