Heather's win at Ironman Coeur D'Alene

Heather’s win at Ironman Coeur D’Alene: A decent prize purse wiped our debt clean. We actually had green in our bank account.
The incredibly lucky and timely sale of our Condo in Victoria. We owned the Condo for two years, having strung together a down-payment with the help of my Mom. Somehow I met a Realtor at the pool who really made the sale happen. Any other Realtor, aside from this guy (thank you Joseph) would have dropped the ball once a couple of legal complications came up. We’d probably still be hanging on to that place in a tanking market. The sale gave us a respectable profit, paid back my Mom and purchased the RV. You’re awesome, Joseph. Trevor and Heather Wurtele, World-Class Professional Ironman Athletes.

Be positive, this is a good time to buy and sell.

Indicators in the Victoria Real Estate market for the last two months have shown more sales, steadying prices, especially in the Single Family homes under $550,000. Now would be a good time to declutter your house or condo, and prepare it with advanced staging or Prepping™ to sell it on the market. Traditionally spring and early summer are good times for selling and purchasing property and homes. For a complimentary consultation regarding the saleability of your living space, please call me and I will come by, spend time with you, listen to your needs and see what positive outcomes we can achieve. I look forward to meeting with you in person.

Victoria home sales deliver an upside surprise

The Times-Colonist this morning has front page news that “Victoria home sales deliver an upside surprise.” Good news all around. Residential properties in Greater Victoria are selling at a higher volume than would be expected from the annual spring surge. In March 2009 there were 602 sales, up 50 percent from February. There are many great properties for sale presently. Lower interest rates and the resulting increased affordability have really energized the entry-level housing market. It seems the market is returning to a reasonable, sustainable zone.
