Today Andrew and Jane discuss the Victoria Real Estate market, up to the end of January 2022. What lessons can we learn from the sales and listing data over the past two years? Should you sell now or later?

We are hearing a lot of talk about interest rates, inflation, Bank of Canada Rates etc. What does it all mean? How will that affect buyers and sellers? Today we have Liz Prins from Mortgage Designers as our guest to discuss this and more.

Andrew and I discuss 2 things. First we talk with our guest Russell Cass from Home Check Inspections about the absence of getting a home inspection and how this is putting buyers and realtors at risk. Second we go over our annual real estate market review and look at the current statistics.

To buy or sell during the holidays... that is the question. Many people decide to take their homes off the market for the holidays. But are you giving yourself an advantage or disadvantage in waiting for the spring market? Join us this morning as we talk pros and cons of December listings.
