Real estate sales dollar figures in November 2023 were down from the figures in November 2022, even though there was an equivalent number of total sales in the qathet region during both years.
“Home sales continued to move lower in November as demand has faded away toward the end of the year,” said Neil Frost, president of the Powell River Sunshine Coast Real Estate Board. “It’s much of the same attitude in other local housing markets for the time being, where buyers are taking a wait-and-see approach and likely postponing any decision-making until the spring. At that time, the usual flood of new supply will return to the market, but more importantly, a clearer indication of the Bank of Canada’s rate stance will emerge.”
