Gulf Island real estate statistics presented by Scott Simmons Salt Spring and Southern Gulf Island agent for One Percent Realty Vancouver Island

Salt Spring Island real estate - total Salt Spring island mls listings 239 According to Canada Post web site there are about 2100 homes on Salt Spring. 

• 3 new listings all lots 2 x 400k and 500k range
• 2 back on the market; 700k range house and 500k lot
• 1 price change up 20k to 530k range
• 1 new sale 550k range very sweet house the value leader of the price range I new it would sell
• 1 closed sale 430k range
• 7 off the market they will all be back other re listed as new listings or just BOM 

Note to readers technical glitch with Mayne and Galiano stats. Some properties are listed on one or both the Vancouver real estate board and Victoria real estate board. Total listing numbers may be wrong.

Mayne Island real estate  - total Mayne Island mls listings 40

• 1 new listing mine 799k waterfront home with dock (I think it is a great deal)
• 1 price change lot 130k range
• 1 new sale commercial 250k range
• 1 closed sale lot at 320k range

The other big news for Mayne is that the tennis courts are getting paved. It is a quiet place if you have not been there and looking for a quiet island this is it.

• 1 new listing 560k range

• 2 price changes 110k range and 1 mil range (not as nice as my 1.1 mil home on Mayne)
• 1 new sale lot 100k
• 2 off the market

Saturna Island real estate - total Saturna Island mls listings 10

Realtors can not advertise other agents listing so that is why I give ranges only if you would like to know the exact prices or addresses sent me and email  scottonepercent-statblog@yahoo.com or log on and view all the prices with my new PCS market watch system . Updates faster than the mls

Statistical information may not be precise, does not include private sales or exclusive listings.

I have been to Mayne twice in the last 3 days. Lots of time of the ferry with no wi fi. 2 new listings on Mayne and 1 new listing on Salt Spring. Lots of listings, listings and listings. Now we need some buyers to buy. The deals are out here now. Lots of sellers want to get on with their lives and are dropping the prices.

Cheers
Scott
