AR REALTORS| US BUYERS ARE BUYING VICTORIA BC REAL ESTATE

The Tide has turned. Few Canadians are heading south buying US Real Estate since the Canadian Dollar dropped to almost .75 cst to the US green back. With the low Canadian Dollar US home buyers are now Buying  VICTORIA BC Real Estate .

AR Member | US BUYERS ARE BUYING VICTORIA BC REAL ESTATEOur office has been seeing an increase in Americans Buying (and shopping for) real estate in Victoria, BC.

 This Wednesday I'm showing Homes and Townhouses to a couple from Southern California...Rents are high here. A nice townhouse rents for $1700 to $1900 pm and sells for less than $400,000. Mortgage rates are below 3% interest. You will need probably 25 to 30% down payment.

The Dollar exchange rate is almost 30% savings for Victoria's Prime Real Estate.

Talk to your clients, most of the American real estate  buyers are not being referred by their Realtor. You could be missing out on some of commission pie. I pay a 25%(Canadian $$$) referral at completion to any Realtor for referring a buyer, buying real estate through me.

The Average Price of a home here is plus or minus $600,000 Canadian, = about 25 to 30 percent less in US Dollars. say $450,000, how about a 2 million dollar waterfront home sale, you do the math savings.

On 24 August 2015, 1.00 U.S. dollar(s) = 1.27 Canadian Dollar(s), at an exchange rate of 1.3213 (using cash rate of 4%). See Bank of Canada Exhange Converter

  1. Victoria, capital city of British Columbia, sits on the craggy southern end of Vancouver Island. With a mild climate and an abundance of trails and parks – including sprawling, amusement-filled Beacon Hill – it’s a destination for outdoor activities. Its beginnings as a British colony show in its Victorian architecture, such as stately Craigdarroch Castle mansion, as well as in its many formal gardens....Population about 344,000, More on Victoria
     
     Victoria has an abundance of flowers in bloom year-round. That's why it is called the City of Gardens. But amongst the beautiful foliage lives dynamic city with a cosmopolitan feel and a rich history. Immerse yourself in fragrant gardens and some old world charm....Video below from Royal BC Museum in Victoria, BC

Hi Wayne and Jean Marie Zuhl Talk to your Clients, Blog or add a message to in your newsletter. Ask the Question. Very often I find American buyers tell me they never thought to talk to their Realtor about Buying Real Estate in Victoria or elsewhere in BC or Canada.

Cheers, have a fun and successful day!
