Transcript of August Market Update

MONTHLY MARKET UPDATEOur market continues to remain relatively stable through

the month of July. The Greater Victoria Area ended July with 523 total sales and just under 5,200 listings. The average sale price for July was $580,563, up slightly from 2011 which was $574,717.

On the peninsula, we continue with a slow and steady mar-ket. Last months absorption rates for the Saanich Peninsula remained firmly in “Buyer Market” territory, however our own experience showed only very well priced properties in good condition received interest from qualified buyers.

Another positive sign is the absorption rate has again dropped over last months 9.4 rate. With 8.4 months of inventory available as of August 1st, a continually declin-ing Absorption Rate is a good indicator of grad-ual move back to a bal-anced market.

We continue to face difficulties qualifying clients requiring CMHC insured mortgages in light of the new qualification regulations imposed on July 9th.

These new regulations have further limited our ability to find suitable prop-erty for many buyers despite the wide selection of properties currently on the

market. While the effect of these changes were not ex-pected to sig-nificantly influ-ence sales, we are now seeing both low-end & high-end prop-erties impacted by these new regulations. •
