Summary Review of the Oak Bay Single Family Homes Graph's Provided
- Compared to the same month Last Year (Slide 1) most Neighbourhoods in Oak Bay show that Median Prices are holding, with a extreme increase (often caused by some sales having either very high or very low prices) The Uplands remains the highest median priced area in Oak Bay.
- The Spread between Average list and sales Prices in Oak Bay (slide 2) Year to Date, are very close Year to Date, for most areas indicating that sellers are really taking note of their Realtors Recommendations. The Bigger spreads between asking and sales price averages are typical of the highest price ranges
- The 3 year list to sale price average review for Oak Bay in Slide 4, When asking and sales prices came very close in June 2011, the reaction is almost immediate, (the buyers backed right off and seller raised their expectations. The graph also clearly indicates that the current very small spread between asking and sale price averages will likely be followed by a relatively sharp rise in asking prices over the next while, and we caution sellers to not get to optimistic in their expectations (as the Graph also shows) higher asking prices do not result in higher sales prices.
- With slide 5 one can clearly identify the end of the boom period in in 2008 and the sharp increase of inventory and overall decline in number of sales in Oak Bay, this relatively high spread is keeping prices level With Oak Bay Inventory remaining vey high, there may be some excellent Buyer Opportunities).
- The Last Slide Reviews the past 3 years listing inventory levels and projects the number of months worth of inventory available in Oak Bay. Oak Bay traditionally is the most blanced market in and around Greater Victoria, as new construction and large invetory influx is very very rare. the market in Oak Bay remained relatively balanced for the most part this yer, with a slight but sharp increase recently.
