Nanaimo Real Estate News Letter - by Jeff King October 5, 2011 September Stats for Nanaimo Single family

house prices have levelled off for the month of Sept with the average home price at approx $363K up a mere 3% over September 2010. However the 12 month to date average is down 2% from $367K. Listings were down for the past month but the number of sales is up 23% compared to September of 2010. Unfortunately we are still behind the 12 month curve by 11%. Nanaimo is fetching a strong 95% sell price to list price ratio with the average days to sell a property up to 63 days vs. 55 only a year ago. The apartment style condo market has been interesting with sales up by 20% compared to the same time in 2010. This is most likely a result of fewer units coming on the market. Sad to say the average price has dropped by a percentage point leaving the average condo price at $241K. Patio style units are up across the board with a surprising 22% price increase to $267K, wow! Townhouse style cant brag the same gains though. The average price of these homes is down 5% to $254K bringing the total sales up a whopping 67%! For detailed market info visit my web stats here.
