The first of what will become and annual Christmas decorating contest was born when a few residents banded together to acknowledge the neighbours who put extra effort into decorateing their homes for the holiday season. A few residents were surprised when they received acknowledgment of their efforts in the firstsurprise Christmas contest held at The Ridge.
The residents from these homes were surprised and happy to receive a small gift towards their efforts, as no official Christmas Lighting Contest had been declared. Now it is official! There will be annual lighting contests moving forward at The Ridge. It is an event that will bring out a friendly competition amongst the residents for years to come and promotes the community for everyone to enjoy.
Establishing this neighbourhood contest, inspired by the actions of others in their community, is one of the many reasons The Ridge is such a welcoming place to call home.
In the summer the community hosts an annual block party in the park, and on a daily basis friends and neighbours stop to chat, go for walks, play in the park, and enjoy the neighbourhood and the people in it.

Could a New Home at The Ridge be the Perfect Christmas Gift?
Developers and builders at The Ridge in Courtenay have noticed a trend of more and more people are relocating to the Comox Valley from lagrer urban centres. Familes and retirees are moving to enjoy the small-city charm, while still having access to all of the important amenities - including a new hospital, North Island College, a variety of shopping venues and the Comox Valley Airport.
The Comox Valley on Vancouver Island is considered one of the most desirable places in Canada to live due to its close proximity to the ocean and many beaches, its mild climate and limitless year-round recreational options, all of which are available just a short walk, pedal or drive away. The Ridge is located in Courtenay, which is well known for having some of the warmest and most temperate weather in Canada. As a result, the area enjoys warm, dry summers and experiences mild, rainy winters with little to no snow.
Real estate activity has been brisk on Vancouver Island for several months, with the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board reporting that sales of single-family homes increased in November 2020 by 33 per cent over November 2019. Rising home sales are due to a combination of factors, including extremely low interest rates, a lack of inventory and the lifestyle trend of families working and studying from home.
The builders at The Ridge know that people are thinking ahead to next year, and considering the move to a new home, or even a new community for the Christmas season in 2021.
Now is the perfect time to consider building a new custom home at The Ridge. Developers have just released 61 new lots in Phase 3B that are available through their preferred builders. Take a tour of this phase via aerial video and you can see the stunning ocean views from The Ridge.

Outdoor Adventures Are Calling in the Comox Valley
Vancouver Island is well known for having some of the warmest and most temperate weather in Canada, making it a popular place to call home. Coastal communities such as Courtenay enjoy warm dry summers and mild winters sprinkled with rain and the occasional day or two of snow.
The Comox Valley, which includes the city of Courtenay, town of Comox, the village of Cumberland, and a number of unincorporated communities, is easily one of the most desirable places to live in Canada. This Vancouver Island coastal community offers easy access to a huge range of year-round outdoor recreational activities.
The weather is mild enough to go surfing and kite boarding year-round. In the winter months, when a storm rolls onto Vancouver Island, the biggest swells are active, prompting surfers and boarders to put on their wetsuits and head to the nearest beach.
If you are a diving enthusiast, explore the rocky reef at Flora Inlet on the edge of Hornby Island where you might spot the elusive Six-gill Shark between April and September. You can also take a dive at the Royston Wrecks, a man-made breakwater of sunken ships along the shoreline where water visibility is excellent. For a unique underwater adventure, snorkel with the salmon in local streams and rivers.
With the right outdoor gear, you can do pretty much any activity in the winter in the Comox Valley. For instance, the golf courses are open year round and you can play golf at seven public courses almost any day of the year. Many people have relocated to the Comox Valley because of their love for mountain biking. Here you will find hundreds of trails, from beginner to advanced in Cumberland, Mount Washington, Forbidden Plateau and other areas throughout the Valley. The region is a hotspot with many mountain bikers coming from other provinces and countries to compete!
Are you ready to make the move? New ocean and mountain view homes at The Ridge in Courtenay are now ready for you. New homes are selling quickly in Phase 3A, and more lots are now available for custom homes. Contact one of the preferred builders at The Ridge to learn more.

"We love living here!" is a phrase that at 1stView, we hear over and over from residents of The Ridge, a family-friendly neighbourhood, now selling Phase 3 homes and lots in Courtenay, B.C.

It is a meeting point for everyone to enjoy. If you are new to the community, you will be welcomed with open arms.
Brianna and Jeremy have shared their experience living at The Ridge with us. Here is just part of their story:
“Last night we went to the local park here, only a few minutes from our home and there were four other families at the park. The kids ran towards each other and played together and we had a visit with the neighbours….. we all know each other’s names, the children’s’ names and we even know the dogs’ names!

BC Homes Sales Forecast to Be Strong in 2021
According to the BC Real Estate Association's third-quarter housing forecast, MLS residential sales are set to increase by 6.5 percent by the end of 2020, and even more for 2021, with predicted increase of 17.6 percent next year.
In the Comox Valley, real estate appraiser Chris Kutyn said in his monthly market update for September 2020 that the Comox Valley area will continue to see upward pressure home prices: “The single-family statistics for August point to a rising average price in the Comox Valley. The market is quite active and even aggressive at times.”
According to the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board, the average price of a home in the Comox Valley in August 2020 was $601,913 up 5% from the average sale price compared to the same time period last year.
Some of this imapct is due to Coivd-19. Families are looking at their homes in a different light - needing a dedicated home office to accommodate working from home, or a separate area for schooling from home as well. As people spend more time at home, many families want more space, both indoors and outdoors. The Ridge community in south Courtenay has recently welcomed several new residents to The Ridge who are relocating to the Comox Valley from larger, more urban cities, perhaps to reduce exposure to a larger population. With interest rates at an all-time low, more people are making the move to get into the market or to move into a bigger home.
What does this mean for you, if you are looking to purchse or build a new home? If you have been thinking of building a new home in Courtenay on Vancouver Island, now is the time to shift into action. The sales activity of new homes and lots has increased significantly during the past few months at The Ridge. Homes and new lots are selling at a brisker pace than at any other time since they started building this development six years ago. Nearly all of the existing new homes by their preferred builders have been sold. Our existing inventory of lots and homes in Phase 3A is 80% sold and the remaining lots will likely be sold in the next few months. To meet market demand, The Ridge will be introducing their newest and final phase - 61 new lots in Phase 3B - in the fall of this year.
Get started by contacting one of their preferred builders to arrange a consultation regarding a custom home build or to view one of the homes that is under construction. Our inventory of new lots is getting lower every month. Contact us for more information about the remaining lots in Phase 3A or about the upcoming 61 lots in Phase 3B.

Spring has Sprung on Vancouver Island
Spring has sprung on Vancouver Island. Flowers have been out for months already and the cherry and plum blossoms are now lighting up the streets with their pink glow.
One of the primary reasons people relocate to Vancouver Island is because of the temperate, year-round climate - an added benefit of this is the area's long gardening season. Early signs of spring like crocuses and daffodils typically pop up in February with a rainbow of tulips close behind. These flowers start to appear in March and April along with the helleborus and camellias.
The streets look beautiful when the cherry and plum trees bloom, showing off their magnificent canopies in a variety of shades of pink.
Once April and May warm up, the colourful rhododendrons (which can grow to size of trees here!) and native dogwoods show off their spectacular blooms.

Adventure Awaits in the Comox Valley’s Provincial Parks
Vancouver Island is an outdoor lover’s paradise, and one of the main attractions for people relocating to the Comox Valley is the sheer volume of adventures that await.
The Comox Valley is surrounded by provincial parks that offer opportunities for hiking, camping, beachcombing, fishing and more.
BC’s oldest provincial park - Strathcona - is famous for its hiking trails that range from family-friendly walks to multi-day treks. These trails will take you from lakeside beaches to waterfalls, and mountain peaks. Covering more than 250,000 hectares, Strathcona Provincial Park has adventures for everyone. Many sites in the park are an easy day trip from Courtenay and other areas of the Comox Valley. 10Adventures.com offers a guide for some of the most popular hikes and well as general information for planning your visit.
If you’d rather spend your time on sandy beaches, two of the area’s most popular provincial parks can offer just that. Miracle Beach offers broad sandy beaches and plenty of campsites. Sites book up early at the popular provincial park which provides forest trails and tide pools to explore, and plenty of space for swimming and sunbathing.
If you want to take a trip to Hawaii, but don’t have the time, hop on a ferry for a day trip to Hornby Island’s Tribune Bay Provincial Park, know as “Little Hawaii.”
With close to 1 km of fine white sand beach and tropical aquamarine water, the south-facing Tribune Bay is one of the warmest saltwater swimming areas in the province, with near-tropical temperatures in the summer months. Enjoy beachcombing and picnicking, or head to nearby Helliwell Provincial Park for some fabulous hikes and views of the beach. Trails along the Helliwell Bluffs offer stunning views and unique flora.
All of these amazing adventures and more await when you live in the Comox Valley. Residents of The Ridge in Courtenay are enjoying some of these stunning ocean and mountain views every day! This new home community offers a variety of home styles to suit your family’s lifestyle, and their preferred builders are ready to work with you to create your home base for Vancouver Island adventures.

Jean and Brenda
“I was looking for a home where my mom could move in with me and we learned that The Ridge allowed legal suites to be built within the subdivision. We went to see The Ridge and fell in love with it. This is a quiet neighbourhood with beautiful views and pathways and parkways for walking. There are excellent trails for biking and we are located walking distance to the ocean. It feels like we are living in the countryside within the city.
"We really enjoy living here. We love our neighbours too, they are fantastic! ”
Brianna and Jeremy
“We were looking at quite a few homes in different locations and the first time we visited The Ridge we fell in love with it, because of the layout of the neighbourhood, the walking trails for our dog, and the amazing mountain and ocean views. We were looking for a safe and quiet neighbourhood for our family and our two young children. When looking for our new home, we wanted a location that provided quick access to outdoor activities in the Comox Valley. Most of the places we like to go to – like Comox Lake and Cumberland – are only a 15-minute drive away.
“Life at The Ridge is very family-friendly, there is a nice mix of young families who interact with each other, retirees and other residents of all ages. The community is being built to a high standard and there is a relaxing atmosphere in the neighbourhood. We love living at The Ridge!”

This Family Has So Many Reasons to Love Living at The Ridge
Residents of The Ridge in Courtenay have many reasons to "Love living at The Ridge."
One couple, Brianna and Jeremy, told 1stView about many of the benefits their family enjoys in their new home at The Ridge. They moved into their new custom home at The Ridge in March, 2019.
The couple said they looking for a safe and quiet neighbourhood for their family and their two young children. They bought a home built by one of The Ridge's preferred builders, Brando Construction.
“We were looking at quite a few homes in different locations and the first time we visited The Ridge we fell in love with it, because of the layout of the neighbourhood, the walking trails for our dog, and the amazing mountain and ocean views. We can even see the Mainland mountains from here! We immediately enjoyed a very welcoming feeling driving into The Ridge."
The family enjoys the easy access to outdoor activities, and have noticed their neighbours are also busy exploring the Comox Valley.
“We love being outdoors! Most of the places we like to go to - like Comox Lake and Cumberland - are only a 15 minute drive away. We often see like-minded neighbours getting ready to pursue their favorite outdoor activities on the weekends."
Additionally their new home is close to all of the day-to-day needs:
“The Ridge is also close to grocery stores, shopping and the airport is only 20 minutes away. I travel frequently for work and easy and quick access to the Comox Valley Airport is important," Brianna explained.
And the community has quickly become home for the entire family, thanks to friendly neighbours and community amenities.
“There is a relaxed atmosphere in the neighbourhood, and strong sense of community. Last night we went to the local park here, only a few minutes from our home and there were four other families at the park. The kids ran towards each other and played together and we had a visit with the neighbours. Even though we have only been here a few months, we all know each other’s names, the childrens’ names and we even know the dogs’ names! Our children feel very comfortable going to the park, and we know that they are safe in our neighbourhood. We visit the park daily and sometimes multiple times in the same day.
“Soccer, lacrosse and frisbee activities are frequently played in the park and it is also a great area to play with our dog. We often see celebrations being held in the park as well. We feel a great sense of community here.
“Life at The Ridge is very family-friendly, there is a nice mix of young families who interact with each other, retirees and other residents of all ages. There are very few vehicles on the roads - only neighbourhood traffic - and the roundabouts help calm the traffic.
“When I walk the dog, even early in the morning, I say ‘hi’ to at least 10 people. We have the best neighbours and we have quickly become friends."
Brianna & Jeremy, residents at THE RIDGE.

Trumpeter Swans a Natural Highlight of Comox Valley Winters
The Comox Valley has so much versatility to offer with regards to wildlife and surrounding nature. Many people come to the Comox Valley to visit and end up living here because of the beauty of the Comox Glacier, surrounding mountains, Goose Spit, the historical estuary, Mount Washington, the rivers, forest trails, and many recreational activities. Known as the Land of Plenty, the Comox Valley offers a smorgasbord of activities for all ages to enjoy.
A unique success story, the Trumpeter Swan population has rebounded from their near extinction in the 1930s. The population has now grown to an estimated 26,000 birds in North America. Approximately 6,000 birds make a winter stop on Vancouver Island with a majority of them coming to the sanctuary of the Comox Valley.
They start arriving in November and stay until February and can be seen gathering on agricultural lands, fields and grassy areas near the water, where they like to forage at low tide. They spend the winter in these areas before heading north to Alaska in March for the breeding season.
These majestic birds, the largest in North America, can weigh up to 12 kg and measure 150 cm from beak to tail. They have a wingspan of up to 2.5 metres. They are the largest species of waterfowl on the planet. When you hear the “honking” of the trumpeter swans, your natural inclination will be to look towards the sky to see these elegant birds in flight.
Truly, an amazing experience for both visitors and residents.

New Platinum-Rated Built Green Homes at The Gales in Ladysmith
Nov 05, 2018
Vancouver Island's Real Estate Market Slowed in October
According to the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s (VIREB) October Statistics, sales of single-family homes from Duncan to Port Hardy were down 16 per cent from October 2017 and up 11 per cent from September 2018. Multiple offers have slowed, and buyers are taking more of a wait-and-see approach.
- Comox Valley: $523,255, +3% from Sept., +2% last Oct., YTD units sold -34%
- Campbell River: $484,033, -10% from Sept., +5% last Oct., YTD units sold -13%
- Port Alberni: $375,482, -12% from Sept., +20% last Oct., YTD units sold -53%
- Parksville/Qualicum: $575,763, +15% from Sept., +10% last Oct., YTD units sold -5%
Decreased demand and stabilizing inventory are helping VIREB’s long-term sellers’ market evolve into one that is more balanced. Inventory of single-family homes in October was up slightly from one year ago (1,175 compared to 1,138) but down eight per cent from September. There were 322 active listings of apartments in October, up seven per cent from 2017 while the supply of townhouses rose by 28 per cent year over year. This year’s housing market is behaving as expected, moderating after the record-setting pace set in 2016 and 2017.

Hear from These Residents About Why They Love Living At The Ridge in Courtenay
Residents of The Ridge have a lot of reasons to love their neighbourhood. Hear from one couple about why they love their new community:
“We have lived in the Comox Valley for 20-plus years and had never been to The Ridge community until 2013 when we took the time to explore this otherwise empty space with recently constructed roadwork and just a couple of houses. We immediately fell in love with The Ridge."
A few years later, the couple was ready to build their new home.
“As we built our property, we often found ourselves walking through the community to observe the new homes being constructed. It was the genesis of getting to know not only our neighbourhood but our neighbours as well. The subdivision was growing but that seemed to only add new friends to the bonds we had already kindled. It is not uncommon for neighbours to be relaxing in their front yards only to be joined by friends for impromptu social gatherings.
“The developer Bruce Clapham really cares about creating a community neighbourhood at The Ridge and has donated funds for our annual block party for the past two years. This event has brought neighbours together and has helped immensely to create bonds and make the community feel like a large extended family.
“We are minutes from town, yet it feels like we are living in a rural setting. There is no thru traffic here and no overhead wires to spoil our great views. We even got to watch the BC Day fireworks from our deck. We are glad that not everyone knows where The Ridge is, but if you’re lucky enough to find us, you will feel like you have lived here your entire life."

Alberta Family Builds a Unique, Multi-Generational New Home at The Ridge in Courtenay
We recently spoke with one family about their decision to move to the Comox Valley, and specifically to The Ridge, from Alberta:
Jodi and Michael were looking to move to Vancouver Island where they could have easy access to enjoy their hobbies of mountain biking and skiing. They also wanted to build a new home to share with Michael’s parents, who are in their 70s.
They researched the areas of Victoria and the Comox Valley, and chose the Comox Valley because of the close accessibility to biking and skiing at Mount Washington. They chose The Ridge development in Courtenay because they really liked the ocean and mountain views, the spaciousness of the neighbourhood and the walking trails. They felt welcomed by the friendly neighbours and they appreciate the lack of traffic noise and lack of light pollution.
The two families are now happily settled in their new custom home at The Ridge built by one of their preferred builders, Lawmar Contracting.
Contact The Ridge to register as a “prospective client” and receive more information about their next phase of lots, which will be available in late 2018.

Spring is in Full Bloom in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island
It's spring on Vancouver Island and that means flowers are blooming! One particular plant in the Town of Ladysmith is gaining international attention. The more-than-a-century-old shrub, locally known as “Lady Cynthia,” has been attracting international acclaim and visitors after it was listed as one of the most beautiful trees in the world by a number of online publications last year (even though it’s not technically a tree). This massive rhododendron has been blooming on the same hilltop since 1889.
For most of the year, Lady Cynthia just looks like a large, green shrub. But, for approximately two weeks in early May the rhododendron becomes a remarkable sight when it reaches full bloom. Now that it’s in full bloom again, the Town of Ladysmith, B.C., located on the east coast of Vancouver Island, is preparing for another influx of tourists.
Tourists visiting Ladysmith can also enjoy beachcombing, walking trails and the historic downtown, all of which are stunning in the spring sunshine! Residents of Ladysmith can enjoy all of this beauty and more, year-round.
Establish your roots at the Gales in Ladysmith and plant your own spring garden with a view of the ocean. The luxury townhomes at The Gales offer spacious designs and luxury finishings. Generous balconies and patios offer sunny ocean and mountain views. Unit 17 is new a 2,600 sq. ft. 3-bedroom home currently listed for sale at $649,900.

Learn About The Ridge From Happy Home Owners
1stView recently spoke with new residents at The Ridge to learn about their experience moving to this new Comox Valley real estate development:
Donna and Jim decided to make the big move to Vancouver Island in 2016. They had lived in Kingston, Ontario for over 50 years and after their two sons had moved to British Columbia, they decided to follow. The question was, where on Vancouver Island were they going to live? They had looked at other communities on Vancouver Island and chose the Comox Valley as it offered everything they were looking for, including a doctor who was taking new patients, a new hospital and a community that was located about half-way between the cities where their sons lived.
They came across The Ridge website and decided to take a drive through the scenic subdivision. After meeting the developer and viewing a Lawmar Contracting home under construction, they made their decision on the spot to purchase the home and moved in on December 1, 2016.
“The area surrounding The Ridge is so beautiful, and we love walking around the many trails here and seeing the mountains and the ocean,” Donna told us.
She goes on to say “It is like living in paradise: we see trumpeter swans, Canadian geese and eagles flying right over our house."
Donna and Jim thoroughly enjoy living at The Ridge. They really appreciate the multi-generational aspect of their neighbourhood and having young children, families and retirees in their community. The neighbours are friendly and welcoming. As an added bonus, Jim loves being in such close proximity to many top-rated golf courses.

Vancouver Island Offers Adventure and Fun at Every Turn
The natural beauty - combined with a mild climate year-round, friendly towns and multiple recreating activities - is also turning many tourists into full time residents! Watch some video highlights here.
A recent article in the Calgary Herald highlights this trend in the Comox Valley:
“When people come into the recreation centre, we ask, ‘are you visiting or new to the area?’” says Leah Knutson, The Village of Cumberland’s manager of recreation. “Fifty per cent are visitors, and we say, ‘watch out, you are going to end up living here.’”
The Calgary Herald heard that many new Comox Valley residents were attracted to the area because of the active, outdoor lifestyle, including surfing, paddle boarding or fishing on the lake or ocean, rock climbing, or skiing at Mount Washington.
The Ridge is a new residential development in the City of Courtenay, in the Comox Valley on the east coast of Vancouver Island.

Make the Move to The Gales in Ladysmith
What would prompt you to move across the country for the perfect home? Sometimes the reason is obvious - a stunning new home with ocean views in a friendly Vancouver Island town. All of this makes moving to The Gales in Ladysmith an easy choice.
One couple shared with 1stView how they picked The Gales.
"We found The Gales after years of looking," said this couple, who moved from Ontario. "Our visitors tell us we have a “Million Dollar View” and we agree. The hilltop terrace design gives us a beautiful panoramic view overlooking Ladysmith Harbour and the nearby islands, with the scenic Coastal Mountains in the background.
"We never tire of watching the world go by from our bedroom, kitchen, dining or living room windows. You never know what you may see from resident eagles, to killer whales visiting the harbour. All of these scenes are beautifully framed in large picture windows in rooms with soaring ceilings. The skylight in the kitchen adds to the bright open atmosphere in a great layout.
"There is so much to do in our small town, and on the island. We are also within a short commuting distance of two major city centres. We feel very lucky to call this wonderful place home."

Ocean, River and Lake Fishing Year Round in Courtenay on Vancouver Island
If you enjoy fishing and outdoor adventures, the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island is a great place to call home. Living at The Ridge in Courtenay gives you access to world-class fishing year-round in the surrounding ocean, lakes and rivers. The spring newsletter from Tyee Marine highlights plenty of great fishing spots in the Comox Valley.
The experts at Tyee Marine say now is the time to bring out the crab pots! Delicious Dungeness crab can be found off the point of Goose Spit in the shallows. Remember to bring a crab caliper to double check that the crabs you've caught are of legal size. Fisheries regulations state that all female crabs must be released.
Spring is also a great time to enjoy fishing the lakes, rivers and the ocean. When the remaining snow melts at the base of Mount Washington, it could be worth a trip to find Blue Grouse Lake. This is a small lake with expansive shallows, making it hard to cast from shore. Bring a float tube or small, lightweight boat. A small lake means smaller fish, but it also makes them easier to find.
So many choices just minutes from your new custom home at The Ridge in Courtenay, BC! Learn more about building your home at The Ridge:

Low Inventory a Challenge for Vancouver Island Home Buyers
Building Links is reporting that inventory of single-family homes declined by 36 per cent from March 2016, with 1,023 active listings available last month compared to 1,598 one year ago. Low inventory continues to frustrate consumers in the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) area. An additional 145 single-family properties came onto the market in March, but the increase was not significant enough to have a noticeable impact on inventory.
Inventory dropped by 36 per cent year-over-year in March, and the lack of housing options continues to frustrate buyers in the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) area.
“Single-family homes between $500,000 and $600,000 rarely last longer than a day or two and generate multiple offers, with many selling above list price,” says Janice Stromar, VIREB President.
The March 2017 benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area was $323,100, an increase of 15 per cent over March 2016.
In the Comox Valley, the benchmark price hit $408,300, up 15 per cent from 2016. Duncan reported a benchmark price of $353,000, an increase of 14 per cent compared to March 2016.
Nanaimo’s benchmark price rose 23 per cent to $452,900 while the Parksville-Qualicum area saw its benchmark price increase by 18 per cent to $463,500.
The price of a benchmark home in Port Alberni hit $217,800, up 12 per cent from one year ago.

Hear Why These Owners Love Their Ocean View Home at The Gales
Sometimes the best information about a real estate development comes from those who actually live there. At The Gales - an ocean view condo and patio home development in Ladysmith - the residents really describe it best.
One couple, who moved from Ontario to BC in search of an ocean view home in a mild climate, have this to say about their home at The Gales:
"We found ‘The Gales’ after years of looking, Our visitors tell us we have a “Million Dollar View” and we agree. The hilltop terrace design gives us a beautiful panoramic view overlooking Ladysmith Harbour and the nearby islands, with the scenic Coastal Mountains in the background. This is special to us because the Northward orientation allows us to see ever-changing scenes painted in morning sunrise colors, which transition to evening sunset glows. We are even treated to beautiful night time views, which are enhanced by the path of the moon as it arcs across the ocean. The distant glow of clouds over Vancouver, combine with the twinkle of lights from houses across the harbour and from vessels underway, to create interesting evening settings.
"We never tire of watching the world go by from our bedroom, kitchen, dining or living room windows. You never know what you may see from resident eagles, to killer whales visiting the harbour. All of these scenes are beautifully framed in large picture windows in rooms with soaring ceilings. The skylight in the kitchen adds to the bright open atmosphere in a great layout.
"There is so much to do in our small town, and on the island. We are also within a short commuting distance of two major city centres. We feel very lucky to call this wonderful place home."

Building Boom at The Ridge as Families Look for More Value and Lifestyle
With housing prices continuing to climb out of reach of homeowners in major urban centres like Vancouver and Toronto, smaller communities across the country and especially on Vancouver Island are seeing boomers, retirees and also young families relocating to realize their dreams of owning a home.
They are also seeking a place where year-round outdoor activities including beach walks, golf, hiking, skiing, water sports, and fishing can all be enjoyed as part of living in a vibrant community. The new residential community The Ridge in the Comox Valley offers all of this and more.
“People want a back yard, a driveway and a stand-alone home so they can have the space for their families,” Christopher Alexander, regional director at ReMax Canada told the Canadian Press. Smaller cities mean shorter commutes and more space, and still offer plenty of amenities. The Ridge is located in the city of Courtenay, close to shopping, schools, and recreation.
Is it time to leave your big city condo behind and swap it for your custom built home with a view? Imagine looking out at the Comox Marina and the Coastal Mountain range to the east, watching the sun rise from your new home, or sitting on your back deck, watching the sun set behind the Comox Glacier.

Lawmar Contracting Building For Happy Homeowners at The Ridge
"I was looking for a home where my mom could move in with me and we learned that The Ridge allowed legal suites to be built within the subdivision. We went to see The Ridge and fell in love with it. This is a quiet neighbourhood with beautiful views and pathways and parkways for walking. There are excellent trails for biking and we are located walking distance to the ocean. It feels like we are living in the countryside within the city.
We contact Lawrie McIntyre from Lawmar Contracting to build our house because we knew of his background and excellent reputation as a custom home builder in the Comox Valley. We moved in a few months ago and we really enjoy living here. We love our neighbours too, they are fantastic! ”

Words from a Happy Resident at The Ridge on Vancouver Island
Many family units look different today from the traditional nuclear family. With elderly parents living with their grown children for their safety and comfort, and young adults living at home with their parents as they work to establish their careers and savings, many generations can be living together. And putting everyone under one roof can have its challenges!
Often the easy answer is a secondary suite or carriage home, but few areas allow zoning for those. The Ridge, in Courtenay in the Comox Valley, is one new residential development that allows for both. One new Ridge resident, Brenda, recently moved in to her new custom home with room for both her and her mother
“I was looking for a home where my mom could move in with me and we learned that The Ridge allowed legal/secondary suites to be built within the subdivision. We went to see The Ridge and fell in love with it,” Brenda explains. “This is a quiet neighbourhood with beautiful views and pathways and parkways for walking. There are excellent trails for biking and we are located walking distance to the ocean. It feels like we are living in the countryside within the city.
We chose Lawmar Contracting to build our house because we knew of his background and excellent reputation as a custom home builder. We moved in a few months ago and we really enjoy living here. We love our neighbours too, they are fantastic! ”

Record Setting Sales for Comox Valley Real Estate
The real estate market in the Comox Valley is breaking new ground, as old sales records are falling, due to a seller’s market.
In May 2016, the benchmark price of a single-family home in the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) area was $364,500, up 9.36 per cent from one year ago. Benchmark pricing tracks the value of a typical home in the reported area. The benchmark price of townhouses and apartments also increased in nearly every market. The average MLS® price of a single-family home in May was $411,458, a 13 per cent increase from May 2015.
In the Comox Valley, the benchmark price of a single-family home was $360,400, up 11.32 per cent from 2015.
Marty Douglas, manager of the Remax Ocean Pacific Realty offices in Courtenay and Comox has noted that in the 12 months ending May 31st, 2016, according to VIREB statistics, there were 1861 sales of all property types, a 22% increase over 2015. Year to date sales for 2016, are showing a record high of sold houses averaging 103 sales per month, a total of 515 units
since January 1, 2016. The 2016 residential sales pattern in the Comox Valley indicates 40% of all single family dwelling sales occur between $350,000 and $500,000. The list/sell ratio in May was 103%. The 12 month list/sell ratio is 81% and currently, listings sell for 98% of list price in 58 days.
Gregg Hart, manager of the Royal LePage in the Comox Valley office stated, “May of 2016 is the biggest month we have ever had in our office. Sales were up 50% in April and May of 2016 compared to April and May of 2015. Single family homes are the biggest selling category followed by patio homes apartment-style condominiums and townhouses. We expect to see this level of activity continue over the summer and into the fall.”
Multiple offers on listings are occurring more often and Realtors are also seeing offers over list price as buyers compete for the available inventory which is 35% less than one year ago.
In the Comox Valley builders have purchased lots from developers to build new homes, decreasing the inventory of lots at a rapid pace which is driving up lot prices and new home prices. Currently new subdivision applications have been submitted to the municipalities in the Comox Valley to develop new lots.
Hopefully we will see new inventory coming onto the market starting in the fall of 2016. This current proposed subdivisions will barely meet consumer demand as a sellers market is likely to continue for the next year or two due to lack of inventory.
