Campbell River Real Estate Market is hopping!

This past few months have been very exciting in Campbell River.   Listings selling in multiple offers, over list price, buyers feeling the pressure to ‘act quickly’ or miss out on a newly listed home for sale.  Some quick numbers to give you an idea what is happening.

For a number of years the average days on the market hovered around 80 days to sell and houses were selling for about 95%  of the list price.  Today that stat has shifted in favor of sellers with the average number of days on the market in Campbell River down to about 60 days to sell and the list to sell price ratio now about 96-97%.  For example a house listed for sale for  $299,000 would typically sell for about $286,000  and take about 2-3 months to sell.

I had to share this not just to toot my own horn but to show you just how hot this Campbell River market has been over the last couple months.

Here is a recap of the last 9 homes I have sold.  All located in Campbell River and all have sold in the last 60 days.

LIST PRICE                SALE PRICE           DAYS TO SELL

$229,900                  $229,500                             1

$237,500                   $ 240,000                           33

$254,000                  $ 254,000                             1

$262,000                  $271,974                              3

$265,000                  $275,000                              5

$308,000                  $307,000                             28

$445,000                   $433,000                            26

$318,000                    $318,000                            16

$419,900                    $425,000                           29

 

The average list to sell ratio on the 9 sales above works out to a crazy 101%  as a number of these homes  sold in multiple offers where we received above list price offers.   It is important that I point out these  9 homes were marketed with  professional photos and priced competitively based on recent local sales data.   Lots of houses are selling, the market is hot that’s for sure.. but pricing and marketing are still key components to getting that sold sticker up!

If you are wondering what the value of your home is in today’s market I am always here to help you with that!

Call, email, text to set up an appointment.

WOW! Can you believe this market!?!

sold

If you are house hunting  or know someone who is I don’t have to tell you that its slim pickings out there!    I know us Realtors are always saying “its busy” “market is hot” but wow it really is crazy out there!  Our inventory is down and sales volume and number of active buyers very high right now. Usually in April we have a lot of new listings, even in a slow market this is the time of year people list their homes.   This Spring we just haven’t seen that rush of new listings yet. The well priced new listings sell right away, many in multiple offers.  I have been in more multiple offers the past few months than…. well ever!   And I am not tooting my horn here, its not just me, other Realtors in my office also dealing with a lot of multiple offers and just a general increase in the number of active buyers.  Did you hear about the 3 bedroom 20 year old rancher on Candy Lane listed for $229,000 and sold in multiple offers for $250,500!  Well that really did happen yesterday!

Who are these people, why are the moving to Campbell River?  I get asked this question at least once a day.  If I think back the past couple months for me its  been about 50% out of town from Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Vancouver, Port Moody and Kelowna and  the remaining are locals, lots of first time buyers for me.  Also a few buyers that have decided against selling the rancher they have outgrown, keep it and renting it out and buying something a bit larger.  This leads into another post I should write soon! the rental market in Campbell River is also nutty.  The houses that were renting for $1000 last year are $1200 now, the $1200 ranchers easily going for $1400+  rental homes are in demand.

Back to who and what is driving this market in Campbell River.  I think its a mix of money coming from baby boomers in larger cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria and Vancouver retiring or buying now and planning to retire in the next 5 years as well as many young families moving here.  We most definitely are not just a retirement city here.  I have had a few younger families recently moving back here after 10-20 years working in the “big city”  they are moving back here so they can bike, ski, fish and buy an affordable home.  It seems in most households someone has a home based/computer based career that no longer ties them to the big city.  Quality of life is something I hear over and over again. People want it and we’ve got it here there is no doubt about that!
