September 4, Victoria s Real Estate Market Simmers at the End of Summer

PRESIDENT Kyle Kerr PRESIDENT ELECT Cheryl Woolley SECRETARY TREASURER David Langlois PAST PRESIDENT Ara Balabanian DIRECTORS Jackie Adkins Sandi-Jo Ayers Bill Ethier Karen Dinnie-Smyth Andrew Plank EXECUTIVE OFFICER David Corey September 4, 8 Victoria s Real Estate Market Simmers at the End of Summer A total of 594 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this August, 9.3 per cent fewer than the 736 properties sold in August of last year, and an 8.8 per cent decrease from July 8. Sales of condominiums were down 5.3 per cent from last year in August with 95 units sold. Sales of single family homes were down. per cent from 7 with 34 sold this August. Prices in our market are quite flat right now, with a slow, long-term trend toward a more balanced market, says Victoria Real Estate Board President Kyle Kerr. Listings have remained relatively static for months after an initial increase last spring. However, this plateau has included more high value inventory and similar to last month, fewer single family homes for sale under $75,. Thirty per cent fewer homes this year were listed for sale at $75, or less than in the year previous, which means there is still pressure on lower priced homes in the Core and other popular areas. We do see a levelling out of prices month-over-month which is one factor helping to slowly return us to a more balanced market. There were a total of,59 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service at the end of August 8, a decrease of 3.4 per cent compared to the month of July but 3.4 per cent more than the,97 active listings for sale at the end of August 7. Many demand-side measures were introduced this year including a stress test on mortgages - which altered many buyers purchasing power, adds President Kerr. These new policies are having the desired effect of slowing the market, though it is likely that over time the market will normalize these changed conditions. Our strong local economy and high employment rates may bolster demand into the fall as people return to work after their summer vacations. Fall numbers will be an interesting indicator of our year to come as we continue to track low home inventory in a changing marketplace. For an up-to-the-minute understanding of your local market as fall sales unfold, connect with your local REALTOR. The Multiple Listing Service Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in August 7 was $83,8, while the benchmark value for the same home in August 8 increased by 6.9 per cent to $888,3, slightly lower than July s value of $888,7. The MLS HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in August 7 was $453,9, while the benchmark value for the same condominium in August 8 increased by.8 per cent to $53,, slightly lower than July s value of $57,7.

MLS HPI benchmark and value - Single Family Homes The Victoria Real Estate Board uses the MLS Home Price Index (MLS HPI) to report on market trends. The MLS HPI uses the concept of a benchmark home, a notional home with common attributes of typical homes in a defined area. Through the analysis of over ten years of Victoria Real Estate Board MLS sales data, the MLS HPI defined benchmark homes for Victoria in each category (single family homes, townhouses, condos) and for each neighbourhood. The benchmark starting point was 5, where each type of property and neighbourhood was assigned an index value of. Victoria Real Estate Board August 8 Statistics

Observing the ratio between them can thus help indicate a "buyers' market", where there is sustained downward pressure on prices, and a "sellers' market", where there is sustained upward pressure on prices. Based on a regression analysis performed by the Economics Department of the BC Real Estate Association in each market area of the province, the Sales to Active Listings Ratio for Victoria can be interpreted as follows: - below 4, there is downward pressure on prices (buyers' market) - above, there is upward pressure on prices (sellers' market) - in the 4- range, there is little pressure on prices either way (balanced market) Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service
