Spring Market on the Way?

The market is still quiet here on the Sunshine Coast, but we are hearing many reports from the mainland that the market is buzzing. Typically, on the Sunshine Coast we are a bit behind what is happening on the mainland so when it starts to get busy there, we aren't too far off the same uptick.


We often get asked: "When is a good time to list my home?" and it is always a tricky one to answer as it is dependant on many factors…

When do you need to move by?

Are you going to be buying and selling at the same time, in the same market?

What is the reason for moving?

What kind of property are you selling?


In many cases, it really comes down to whenever a Seller is ready. If you are buying and selling in the same market, then what the market is doing isn't such a large factor. If you are selling an investment property, then yes, it may be a good idea to time your sale for a busy time in the market. If you have a very unique property, i.e. large acreage or multiple homes, then your demographic is smaller then the average single family home and the market may not have as much of an impact on the sale.


We are happy to answer any of your questions and give you an individual opinion on your personal circumstance. Just give us a call to set up an appointment.


Sunshine Coast is still the best neighborhood in the Lower Mainland and the best value, being 20 to 30 percent lower than comparable areas of the Lower Mainland. Why fight the traffic when you can relax aboard a scenic cruise while catching up on rest or work during the 40-minute commute.
