Snap, Crackle and…. In Around Town
Has the bubble just popped? The cyclical property market trend suggests that we have been due for a correction for some time. Closer to home, after strong sales figures in the single-family market in November and December, sales were off sharply for the month of January.
Once again this month, sales are down in the Comox Valley by 1% and in Campbell River by 9%. This is in spite of the fact that inventory levels are up: potential buyers have more to choose from. Our research also indicates that last month, across all residential types (single-family, condo, etc), there were 47 price reductions in the Comox Valley and 37 in Campbell River.
