Real estate sales for June 2024 in the qathet region were down slightly in number and dollar value from sales in June 2023.
“Overall, the picture is pretty good,” stated Powell River Sunshine Coast Real Estate Board statistics director Neil Frost in a written analysis of the market. “Prices are pretty stable compared to last year, and there are lots of listings, so there is a good selection for buyers.”
Frost stated that while healthy, June 2024 was a little slower than June 2023, and significantly slower than May 2024.
“Hopefully, it is just a bit of a summer slowdown before another period of activity,” stated Frost. “Listings are on the rise, with inventory starting to build up. We are up almost 25 per cent in new listings from this time last year. There have been relatively modest decreases in price. We will see where that ends up at the end of the year.”
