The snapshot of the real estate market for the first six months, gives an indication as to the trends that are taking place and sets the scene for the summer and fall sales season, months that traditionally find increased visits by prospective buyers to examine listed properties.
The numbers for Prince Rupert don't show much in the way of change from a year to year review, with similar volumes and prices marking the six month review period up until the end of last month.
While the over heated market of a few years ago has cooled significantly as the hype over major economic development settled down, there is still movement in the regional realty markets, with Terrace continuing to lead the region in total sales and total value.
The details of the Prince Rupert market look as follows:
101 properties worth $28.5 million have been reported sold through the MLS system in the Prince Rupert area so far this year, that comes close to matching last years levels at this time when 109 properties worth $24.5 million were sold in the first half of 2015.
From the information from the Board, sellers on the North Coast would appear to be getting just a little bit more for their property listings this year.
The median price of the 81 single family homes that were sold came to $269,000 and on average it took 67 days for sellers to find a buyer.
As of June 30th there were 181 properties of all types listed as available through the MLS system.
