Winter in Comox

Well, though winter in the Comox Valley is extremely unlike winter in most of the rest of the country, our real estate market here does slow down considerably though the end of 2017 was busier than many. December saw more activity than in the past couple of years even though people also began preparing for Christmas earlier than usual. There have been sales and listings as always, but not like it is earlier in the year. I can remember being busy selling and listing right through December in years past and this was the case again in 2017. Listings on the MLS come off the market or are taken off as trees, lights and sugar plum fairies loom ever closer. Who wants strangers wandering through their homes at this time of year?

Gardens in Winter

The great outdoors can be enjoyed year round, especially in the temperate climate we languish in the Comox Valley. If you like to spend time in your garden in the spring and summer, why not winter too?

There are some really simple and great ideas from colour and lighting to keeping warm that I have suggested under the For Sellers tab on my home page. Whether you like to sit in a protected corner or feel the full effects of the weather in your garden, there may be something that appeals to you.

Have a look to see if there’s anything you want to incorporate in your yard.

Real Estate Trends

It looks like 2019 here in the Comox Valley will be similar to the previous year. To see what is happening with real estate, including all areas north south, east and west from Fanny Bay to Black Creek, have a look at the Market Overview link on my main page. Just updated in January 2019, it will give you an idea where we’ve been and where we may be going in the coming year.
