Clearly the B20 mortgage stress test is impacting purchasing power for homebuyers causing many buyers to step back. The reason for this is to save more money for a down payment.
There were 2,751 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of April 2019, an increase of 13 per cent compared to the month of March and a 37.4 per cent increase from the 2,002 active listings for sale at the end of April 2018.
“Prices have remained reasonably flat across the region and are expected to stay that way,” adds President Cheryl Woolley. “Presently, REALTORS® are busy showing homes and bringing new listings to the market, but with few new options to view, we are still seeing multiple offer situations when that right property does become available. Given the current dynamic and evolving market conditions, it’s a good time to chat with your Realtor about a personal plan for buying or selling a property.”
