6 new listings and one sold this week. Everything is going lightning quick in the valley these days; the last two listings I requested showings on had offers the first day! Does this mean the spring market is finally upon us? Check back next week to see if any of these new to the market homes wind up on the sold list.

Happy weekend, nabes! It’s the kickoff to spring break, so I’m sure I’ll be seeing sone of you in our local parks and on the trails in the next couple of weeks ☀️

Happy weekend, neighbours!

It’s starting to look like spring out there and hopefully that means that we’ll soon see an uptick in inventory!

While we’re not quite there yet, we do have a couple of new beauties on the market. I’m particularly excited about the listing on Carlo Place; the homes in that development are far nicer builds than a lot of the homes you see from that era (circa 2017), the views are surprisingly pretty and of course you can’t beat a cul-de-sac if you’re looking for a family friendly neighbourhood.

If you’re looking for details on either of these new listings, or if you’d like to see the one in person, don’t hesitate to reach out to Shyla at 250-797-9067.

Enjoy the sunshine, and see you in the valley! ☀️

One sale and one listing this week in the valley! Richardson is getting a new owner and I have it on good authority that the rancher on Country Hills already has an offer on it (no surprise there!). Homes are getting snapped up quick, hopefully this is a good sign for the spring market!

As always, feel free to reach out with any questions about Chase River / Cinnabar Valley Real estate!

Hey Neighbours!

Two upcoming new builds on Hosanna Way listed under a million are the stars of this week’s list! Are you a first time buyer who wants a new build? If so, there are incentives that will make it more affordable to get you into this type of home. PM me and I can bring you up to speed!

The third new listing this week is a very spacious two level home backing onto Richard’s Marsh in a cute little cul de sac at the bottom of the valley. I’ve shown this home a few times when it was listed previously and I think it would be perfect for retirees who down want to do a lot of yard work. The yard is quite private and I live that you can hear the marsh birds and the bullfrogs chirping from the back deck.

Things are picking up listings wise! Are you thinking about buying or selling in this neck of the woods? DM me and I’ll send you a copy of our Buyer or Seller guides to get you ready for what’s shaping up to be a busy spring market!

Hey neighbours! Just one sale and one new listing this week. I’ll be showing 1900 Richardson to some clients tomorrow and I’m very excited to check out the updates and the awesome yard. I walk past this place all the time and I’ve always noticed how well kept and tidy it is. Cross your fingers for us!

And as always, don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have Ny questions about Chase River/Cinnabar Valley real estate.

Have a great weekend!

Hey nabes!

Affordability is the name of the game this week when it comes to sales and listings in our fab little corner of the city. It’s not often we see properties under 300k anywhere anymore but the tidy little manufactured home on Twelfth St should be a quick sale given how well kept and sharply priced it is!

The sale on Wilson will likely be seeing some development (maybe a duplex? Or a home with a carriage house?) so we’ll keep our eyes peeled to see if anything interesting comes of that.

There are deals to be had in this small window before the spring market hits! If you’re thinking of buying or selling, DM us for a copy of our helpful Buyer or Seller Guides and we’ll be happy to fire one off to you, no obligation.

And as always, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you have about Chase River/Cinnabar real estate. Contact Shyla at 250-797-9067 or email [email protected]

Hey Neighbours, things are creeping back to life in the valley following the Christmas lull. No new sales this week but one re-list.

This one is a unique offering, hence the price tag of almost 2.2 Million. Know anyone looking for a stately country manor in the best neighbourhood in Nanaimo? If you do, send them my way!

As always, we’re here to answer any and all questions about listing or buying in Chase River/Cinnabar Valley. Get in touch at [email protected] or text 250-797-9067!

Hey Neighbours!

Just one sale this week and no new listings. I had a hunch that this one would go quickly, between the super competitive price, the charm and the income potential, it was really a no brainer for buyers.

That’ll be a wrap on the Round Up until the new year. Happy holidays everyone, and here’s to a safe, happy and busy real estate market in our little slice of heaven in 2025!

As always, if you are thinking of listing or have questions about any of the properties you see on this page, shoot me a DM and I’ll get back to you faster than Santa can get down the chimney 🎅

Happy Friday Neighbours!

This week we’re seeing a continuation of the trend that has homes that have been sitting on the market finally selling! Case in point: this behemoth on Cinnabar with its huge 3 bay shop AND 1525 Wilson! We have seen a little bit of a pick up since the recent interest rate drops ( did you see the 50 point drop announcement on the 11th??) and buyer are out there snapping up properties that we’re just slightly out of reach before.

I think we’re going to have a healthy spring market, but let’s get through Christmas first, shall we?

As always, feel free to reach out for info on any of these properties or get in touch if you’d like to discuss selling your Chase River/Cinnabar home!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey neighbours!

We’ve got a couple of re-lists that you’ll recognize if you’ve been following along with this page (will someone buy these already?!) and the sale of the beautiful home on Kingsford for 910k which I think was pretty good value considering it was HUGE, immaculate-like I’m talking it showed like nobody lived there-had no backyard neighbours and is super close to Chase River Elementary. I think those buyers have reason to be very, very happy with their decision!

The most interesting property on the list this week is, without a doubt, 994 Old Victoria Rd. Gigantic lot, up and down suites and some really cute character make this home a draw for anyone looking for a deal (you’d better be handy though!). There is a story to this home, which should be obvious if you consider the $499k price tag! Want the lowdown? DM me and I’ll fill you in!

Btw, the lot on Ranchview is still up for grabs! Who wants to build a house in Nanaimo’s best family neighbourhood? Going once….

As always, hit me up with your questions or reach out if you’re planning to list!

Have a great weekend everyone, we’ll see you back here for next week’s update on the latest real estate happenings in Chase River/Cinnabar!

Hey neighbours! Not a bad week for listings and sales this week (especially if you’re after a suite) but there is one property in particular that I wanted to highlight: the lot for sale at 49 Ranchview (listed at $450,000).

Everyone in the Ranchview/Rajeena loop knows this as the “sledding hill” because every snowfall kids flock to it with their crazy carpets, so while I’m glad that someone will finally build on it, I will be sad to see that tradition come to an end.

However, I mention this not only because of its recreational use, but also as something of a caution to any buyer. The lot is sloped, and it backs on to Richard’s Marsh. Homes on that side of the road have been known to have issues with water on their foundations because of the wet, marshy ground. The best thing you can do if you’re going to buy a piece of land like this is factor in the cost of several truckloads of dry fill and invest in some top tier drainage solutions. Years ago, I listed a home whose builders did exactly that and their yard stayed drier than everything around it year round.

Anyway, just a tip if you or anyone you know is thinking of building on a low lying piece of land near the marsh! As always, feel free to hit me up about this or any other property in Nanaimo’s best neighbourhood.

Have a great weekend everyone and we’ll be back next week!
