How was your summer?  The three of us stayed pretty close to home and all enjoyed the lovely weather; we hope September brings more sunshine, even if the days become crisper and cooler! 

Jasmine spent a few days in the Okanagan sipping wine and generally relaxing with friends & family. 

Tallulah started hers with a wonderful visit from her family, from back home! They ate their way across the city. And finished it off spending time on the water with friends.

HOW QUIET IS IT?
August is an historically quiet month.  No real surprise that number of sales (across BC) were down from July and also down considerably from last year. 

In fact, in the last few months we’ve seen a (slight) rise in inventory and a moderate decrease in prices.  We can also look back and see that the peak of the market was March of this year.

The culprit ? Predominantly, rising interest rates...and the prospect of continued inflation & further rate hikes.  Another reason is that buyers are now feeling a little more power than they did most of last year & into this Spring.
