Buyers’ Market but Where Are They?

by

LANGFORD – Richard Robinson is making the move back to Vancouver Island from Winnipeg and he’s ready to buy right now. “I sold my snow blower before I came out on this trip so I have to move at this point” Robinson laughs.
He plans to retire on the West Shore and is pleased to be shopping in a soft market very different from the one he left. “For some homes there’s still a bidding war that takes place when you’re selling in Winnipeg and fortunately that was the case for my home.”

He is not expecting to pay more than asking price in Langford. Year over year sales and prices are flat in Greater Victoria’s core municipalities. Sales are down on the Saanich Peninsula but prices are steady. On the West Shore sales are down and prices are falling too. In fact single family home sales on the West Shore are down close to 40% from last year, even lower than in 2008 when the global economic crisis hit.
“There are definitely a lot of price drops, and homes are sitting on the market a long time” says realtor Marko Juras with Fair Realty. But he says many sellers don’t seem to be getting the message and pricing their homes five to 10 percent more than they’re now worth. “There are very few buyers out there. You want to make sure your home is priced well enough that if a buyer is looking at 10 houses for example, they walk into your home and see the value in your home.”

If you’re thinking of selling your home soon and you’re getting worried, sales may have fallen off a cliff but Juras says prices are very unlikely to do the same. He’s predicting a flat market for the next year or two, or small price drops of maybe two to three percent per year at most. “Victoria has a stable, diversified economy, the interest rates are still extremely affordable, and unemployment is low. People predicting large price corrections, that’s very difficult to do.” West Shore homeowners we spoke to are hoping to ride out any kind of extended slump.  “I hope by the time I’m ready to get out things will be back to where they should be again” says one woman.
Juras points out the Greater Victoria market was flat from 1991-2000. It could be awhile.

What is a Flat Fee MLS® Listing (Mere Posting) is less than one minute!

by

Flat Fee MLS® listings are also known as ’Mere Postings.’ The Competition Bureau/CREA Consent Agreement defines a ‘Mere Posting’ as “a listing on a Member board’s MLS® System in respect of which the Member has chosen or agreed not to provide services to the Seller other than submitting the listing for posting on a Member Board’s MLS®.”

Essentially what a Flat Fee MLS® listing, or ‘Mere Posting,’ amounts to is a For Sale by Owner (FSBO) with MLS® System exposure. After the home is listed, the homeowner takes control of the selling process. At www.flatfeelistvictoria.com we offer this service for $799+HST. Please follow the links below for more information!

Limited Time Pre-Sale Condo Cash Back Offer!

by

What’s the Deal?

Pre-sales units sold by the developer typically sell at the list price with little or no negotiation room. In the past buyers had two options. For example, if a buyer was interested in a $300,000 pre-sale condo he or she could visit the developer’s showroom and enter into a contract for $300,000 – in this situation the buyer has no representation. Option two was to use a buyer’s agent (REALTOR®), the buyer would still enter into a contract for $300,000; however, the developer may pay the buyer’s agent a commission of 3.0%100k + 1.5%balance* or $6,000. As you can see, developers prefer to generate sales directly from the showroom as they don’t have to pay out a commission. Most developers count on approximately 70% of their sales being directly through the showroom as it is their direct benefit.

How does the Pre-Sale Cash Back Offer Work?

The Pre-Sale Cash Back Offer works by you using my services to represent you on your pre-sale purchase. I’ve made it very simple, I keep the commission on the first $100,000 and I give you the remainder of the commission on above $100,000. Not only are you able to achieve the best possible net price; you also receive representation from an experienced pre-sale REALTOR® who can help guide you through the process while avoiding common pitfalls. Please view the video below for more information.
