Vancouver Island Real Estate Buyer's Profile Released by VIREB

New Vancouver Island real estateThe Vancouver Island Real Estate Board has released its 2010 Buyer Profile, tracking where people are coming from, what they’re buying and why.
Statistics provided are for the overall VIREB area, and for each individual Zone (Duncan/Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Port Alberni/West Coast, Parksville/Qualicum, Comox Valley, Campbell River, North Island, and Islands areas).
6,272 letters were sent to residential buyers obtained from the MLS database for 2010. 1,582 responses were completed and entered into a database, from which the Buyer Profile was developed.
Cameron Muir, Chief Economist with the British Columbia Real Estate Association, said the VIREB Buyer Profile reveals interesting demographic trends.
“Statistically this year’s Buyer Profile is very similar to last year’s with 16% of the buyers buying their first home and 41% were buying for retirement.”
Low mortgage rates and attractive pricing were key drivers again for 2010’s buyers.
“Mortgage rates are not expected to increase much over the summer and when the increases begin, they are expected to be gradual,” Cameron added.
VIREB president Jim Stewart said, “This document reinforces why people move here: lifestyle, affordability, accessibility and all of the other amenities that make Vancouver Island such a great place to live.”
96% of sales transactions were homes purchased as a principal residence, with just 2% as investments or rentals, signaling little speculation in the market.
The Buyer Profile also shows the popular home characteristics from the MLS database with the highest frequency. The most popular was a single-family detached unit (representing 60% of all sales,) with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a double garage and a vinyl exterior, with ocean or mountain views.

Nutmeg Homes' ICF Construction Means Greener Vancouver Island Homes

Nutmeg Homes ICF Green Builders Comox ValleyNutmeg Homes has been building Insulated Concrete Forms homes in the Comox Valley, on Vancouver Island since 1999. “Our list of standard methods, materials and items generally grows and matures with every home we build,” says owner Paul Witt. “We strive for constant improvement in; our designs, energy efficiency, structural strength and long term sustainability. A home should be more than a major financial investment, it should also be comfortable, durable and efficient.” ICF houses use up to 40% less energy than the average new home in BC. Insulated Concrete Forms or ICFs are hollow foam blocks or panels, which are stacked to form the walls of the home. The forms are filled with steel-reinforced concrete to create a solid structure. The resulting walls offer solid construction that provides a draft-free, quiet, healthy and comfortable living environment. For more information on Nutmeg Homes and their ICF construction process visit their website.

A Comparison of Residential Lots for Sale in the Comox Valley and Campbell River

Coast Realty Campbell RIver and Comox ValleyThe inventory of potential lots for sale in the Comox Valley is enormous. The inventory of residential lots in the supply pipeline may seem excessive, verging on oversupply, once they are all approved and brought onto the market.
The number of lots for sale officially on the market with the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s MLS in Campbell River and the Comox Valley deserves some comparison.
As of May 31 in Campbell River there had been 44 lot sales on MLS; 86% of them sold for less than $100,000. Five were between $100,000 and $150,000. The number of sales represented an increase of 19% over last year at an average price of $96,428.
Meanwhile in the Comox Valley for the same period there had been 37 sales, three under $100,000, 15 between $100,000 and $150,000 and 13 between $150,000 and $200,000.  The number of sales represents a decrease of 46% and an average price of $167,243.
A commute of 30 minutes will buy a city lot for $70,000 less. And since lot prices are determined by the inventory of existing housing, it stands to reason average house prices are similarly less expensive. Average house prices in Campbell River are $60,000 less than in the Comox Valley.
In the Comox Valley, only 27 lots are on MLS that are fully serviced and within municipal boundaries. In Campbell River there are 138. In this real estate environment of lower sales, builders are not rushing to claim lots, rather they are building on contract. Developers of land and of new lots are holding back waiting for more predictable demand. At this time, with the price discrepancy between the Campbell River and the Comox Valley, the Campbell River region offers value to buyers looking to purchase a piece of Vancouver Island real estate.
