Gibsons & Sechelt Statistics

Sunshine Coast Real Estate is very active at the moment.

Days on the market have come down and many houses are selling within a week of hitting the market.  So if you are interested in purchasing be prepared to move quickly.  Sales to Active listings is up so this market is starting to lean towards a Sellers market.  Inventory is down and homes are selling for roughly 95.% of the list price.  Sales are significantly up from last year.  If you are thinking of Buying given the current state of the Market in December of 2015 you should be prepared for Seller's to be less open to lower offers and possibly competing against other Buyer's that have been waiting and who have missed out on other properties.  If this trend continues given simple Economics of supply and demand prices should be continue to climb and more buyers may be looking to get into the market as interest rates appear to be going up.

If you would like more information on the Market please do not hesitate in contact the Coast Team for a detailed anaylsis.

Three days left to donate to the 2015 REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive 

Re/Max Top Performers are busy Collecting Blankets and clothing for the people that really need them.

Wow oh Wow. Such a beautiful day on the Sunshine Coast. What an amazing turnout! We couldn't be more thankful to all our wonderful friends and clients for making our Pumpkin Carving Party such a huge success. We gave away 4 full bins of pumpkins (3000 lbs)for a trailer load full of food bank donations. With our concession stand and cash donations we raised over $550 dollars, all of which will also be donated to the local food bank. We look forward to our 10th year in 2016!! Thanks again to everyone.
