Did Fernie home prices really drop 26% last month?

The average sale price in September was $660,530, down 26% from a year ago. That's the headline. But it doesn't mean every home in town lost a quarter of its value. An average only reflects what sold, and in a market our size a few fewer high-end sales can pull it down fast.

Here's what I'm seeing locally. Well-priced homes under $1 million are moving steadily, and some are getting multiple offers. Above $1 million, buyers are taking their time and comparing closely. Inventory is down too, with 113 active listings compared to 130 last September.

Bottom line is the town-wide number won't tell you much about your own home or your next purchase. I broke it all down in this month's market update, including months of supply, sale-to-list ratios and days on market.

Can you buy a property in Fernie and rent it out between your own visits?

It’s a question I hear regularly. The answer needs to be checked property by property.

An existing Airbnb listing, a seller’s rental history or a line in the listing description isn’t enough to build your purchase around.

Before you count on that income, you need to understand the provincial requirements, local zoning and licensing, strata bylaws and any title or rental-management restrictions. Your lender and insurer also need to be comfortable with the intended use.

And once you’ve checked permission, check profitability.

Management, cleaning, utilities, strata fees, repairs and slower shoulder seasons all affect what you actually keep. Gross rental revenue only tells part of the story.

My latest blog walks through the questions buyers should ask before making an offer, with a practical checklist to help organise the homework.
