In the Fraser Valley, for example, only 10% of homes listed for sale sold last month. So odds of not getting an offer - if you a seller - were nine out of ten. “There is no hope,” says the trusty agent, “with a $75k decline every month since March.”
I don’t have details for Vancouver Island as yet. A shack that I’m interested in buying there (Comox, BC) is now 40 days on the market. One haircut of $50k so far - no takers! For me, … two more haircuts of $50k is my target. If not, so be it.
… fwiw,
