The Pacific Northwest Coast, outside of the major cities of Seattle, Vancouver, and Victoria, is made up of many secondary home/retirement/resource based communities. September is a time of Fall Fairs, Farmers Markets, Wine & Food Pairing Events, and other Harvest related fun.
The uptick in sales volume in other North American venues is always slow to hit the Canadian Coast. I find that Florida and California often foretell our market trends, whether up or down, but it just takes us a good 4 to 6 months to follow. I think that's called being the "tail of the dog"? Last down/last up?
We are just now seeing, in my Islands area, that interest in buying. At last! Looking for information on the Canadian Gulf Islands, on Vancouver Island, on private islands? Call me. liread33@gmail.com Beauty awaits you.....
