Who is buying real estate in Nanaimo?

I have been reviewing the 2011 home buyer profile published by VIREB.  This report reviews Nanaimo real estate sales for 2011 and helps determine where the buyers come from and who they are.

Nanaimo real estateThe report looks at buyer origin, major reason for purchase, the length of time a buyer had lived in the community before buying, Type of purchase ( primary residence or investment), First time buyer  or retirement purchase,  down payment info., how buyers learnt of property, how buyers chose a Realtor, selling price range, home characteristics.

The following numbers reflect the highest frequency or most common value for each category.  These numbers reflect the “ Typical” buyer for 2011.

·     Came from the Nanaimo area,

Your statistics are very interesting. I suspect that first time home buyers and senior's downsizing may be a large portion of our business also but we do have out of state people relocating too. Lately we seem to have had a lot of young couples moving into larger homes. Thank goodness, we do have a wide range of buyers.
