Well, the doom and gloom-sayers were wrong, the real estate market has not bombed and we are now in a buying frenzy as city dwellers flee to smaller communities in the wake of COVID-19.  And since we are only a 45-minute ferry ride from Vancouver, we are seeing a huge surge in Sunshine Coast properties.  See the BC Real Estate Association's latest press release on the state of the market.  https://www.bcrea.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020-08.pdf

I have sold a property at 13702 CAMP BURLEY RD in Garden Bay.
See details here
Only one hour drive from ferry, this quiet lake with only 5 homes is the perfect getaway from the rat race. Serenity found in this Walden-like, LAKEFRONT, 2.47 acre setting with gated entrance and paved driveway leading through this very private acreage. Main house is 2 beds and 1 bath while the detached 2 year old guest cottage has 1 bed, ensuite to make a perfect home office (High speed fiber optic) or B&B opportunity. New 2 car garage is fully insulated to store your toys. All buildings protected by high end metal roof for worry free maintenance. Stroll the grounds and follow the path to the water's edge and enjoy a swim in the lake, then relax. Truly an inspiring property for those that desire peace and inspiration. Hard to find lakefront on the Sunshine Coast that is so accessible.

"The strong recovery in sales activity continued in July," said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson in the recently released press release, https://www.bcrea.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020-07.pdf "Increased demand for more living space combined with an undersupplied market is producing significant upward pressure on home prices, particularly in the market for single-family homes."


That remark concerns the entire province, but if you break down the geographic areas you will see that the lower Sunshine Coast is still where the deals are to be had.  (In the graphic shown at the right, we are lumped in with Greater Vancouver).  Powell River has experienced a 30% increase in prices, while we on the Lower Coast have only risen less than 5%.  Check out the complete report on lower Sunshine Coast stats under "Market Statistics" here on my blog, http://sunshinecoastland.com/sunshine-coast-market-statistics.html

February was an interesting month, everyone hanging on by their fingernails waiting to see what happens next with the COVID19 virus, now described by some as a pandemic, and the U.S. political wranglings.  On the Coast the total number of active listings of detached homes was down by 5.1% over the same month last year, sales down almost 14%.  Good news for buyers, the benchmark price dropped 7.8%.  In the most active price point, $400,000 to $900,000, there were 21 sales out of 151 listings, with an average of 66 days on the market.  Of these, 12 were in the Gibsons neighbourhood.  See the complete report here:  https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=http://members.rebgv.org/realtorlink/rebgv/statscentrereports/Sunshine-Coast.pdf

December 2019 was an incredible month:  detached home sales were up 128.6% over December last year, perhaps reflecting the 6.4% drop in the benchmark price.  Of the 32 sales in this category, 20 were in the sweet spot of between $400,000 and $900,000, and Gibsons was, as usual, the primary hot spot.  For the complete report check out the Market Statistics tab under this blog.
