Real estate sales up October 2022 sales figures higher than the same month in 2021

Real estate sales in October 2022 were stronger than in the year previous.

“After posting a string of declines, home sales in October rebounded to typical levels for this time of year,” said Neil Frost, president of the Powell River-Sunshine Coast Real Estate Board. “Stronger new listings have boosted overall supply levels from their lows of spring 2021, although stronger sales activity has capped the increase in overall inven-

tory for the time being.

“On the price side, we are still seeing year-overyear gains, and it may be well into next spring before these gains turn into declines as we move past the one-year mark of the rapid increase in prices seen earlier this year. September showed prices down, judging by listing/asking prices and the October increase is likely an anomaly, not an indicator of trends to come.”

In the single-family homes category, in October 2022, there were 20 units sold, valued at $13,947,450,

compared to 14 units sold in October 2021, valued at $8,012,800, Mobiles and manufactured homes had four units sold in October 2022, valued at $989,000, compared to one unit,

valued at $160,000, in October 2021.

Single-family condos, apartments and duplexes had six sales in October 2022, valued at $2,313,200, compared to two units sold in October 2021, valued at $467,000.

Totals for residential sales indicate that there were 30 sales, valued at $17,276,650 in October 2022, compared to 17 sales, valued at $8,639,800, in October 2021.

In non-residential sales, six units of vacant land sold in October 2022, valued

at $2,251,900, compared to seven units, valued at $2,069,900 in October 2021.
