Victoria BC-Fernwood Real Estate in Review  January to Now

Local Bikers Victoria Fernwood

As 2010 Fernwood Real Estate moves into March and Spring Time in Victoria....... I have reviewed the Real Estate activities of Greater Victoria's Fernwood Real Estate market.



View Fernwood Area Map in a larger map

Fernwood Single Family SOLDS since January  to Now Total 14 Average Selling Price of $542,171 with an average of only 14 days on the market.

Fernwood Single Family Pending Sales Total 13 with an average selling price of $ 520,675 with an average of 13 days on the market.

It would appear Victoria BC's Fernwood Single Family Real Estate sale prices are steady, and the days on the market have decreased.

Currently there are 10 Single Family  Homes For Sale in Fernwood with an Average asking price of $ 543,529 the the lowest on Shakespeare Street at $399,900 to $769,000  for a home on Lee Street.


History of Victoria BC  Residential development began in earnest in the 1890s, and many homes in western Fernwood and along Fernwood Road itself date from this era. In the early 1900s a large area west of Fernwood Road was used as a sand and gravel pit to supply construction materials to local builders, to the dismay of many early residents. The problem was partly solved by the construction of the present Victoria High School in 1912 on some of the lands that had been used as the sand and gravel pit.
Historically, a natural spring in Fernwood supplied Victoria with its main source of water, hence the earlier name of the neighborhood, Springridge. In 1875 Victoria began piping water from Elk Lake, and in 1885, the site of the original spring became the location of the Empire Brewery.

NEW HST TAX FOR HOME BUYERS AND SELLER IN BC

NEW HST TAX FOR HOME BUYERS AND SELLER IN BC

On July 1, 2010 Home Buyers and Sellers Across the Province of BC will be questioning.........the New 12 % Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and how it relates to Real Estate. We understand at this time it will only apply to New Homes and Condominiums, and will replace the GST now payable on New Homes and New Condominiums.
Taxes

This New Tax could be complicated by nature on how it will impact the purchase and sale of residential Real Estate in BC... I recommend  getting advice from a CA or CGA Accountants or Visit the Government Web Site

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY...SAMMY THE SEAL

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY...SAMMY THE SEAL

While taking a Video shoot of the marine activity at out Victoria Fisherman's Wharf last Month, I also took some still photos of a local group of Harbour seals, one is nick named Sammy the Seal. Sammy and his friends hang around for free food from the Folks eating from the many venue's there, Such as Barb's Fish and Chips and Other food outlets.

With his Cute face ...most cannot resist giving him lots of attention, which results in lots of free (junk) food. I'm sure many of Locals and Tourists refer to many of the Harbour Seals as Sammy the Seal.
