Your Weekly Construction Briefing

While the COVID pandemic has resulted in lower sales volumes, the possibility of sharp downward pressure on price, at least until now, has not materialized.

Kutyn Real Estate Appraisers have released their assessment of the Vancouver Island Real Estate numbers, and while volume is down, prices are not.

Lifestyle considerations have resulted in a strong surge of inquiries for the Northern Gulf Islands, which bodes well for the Comox Valley and Campbell River markets.
