When seasonally adjusted, our market activity remains strong for this time of year,&#8221; says Shelley Mann, Board President.&#8221;Despite the brisk activity, we continue to see housing prices remain flat,&#8221; Mann says. &#8220;With fewer properties listed at the end of July, we are still narrowly into a balanced market.&#8221;With 583 sales in July and 4,772 active listings on the MLS\u00ae System at month end, the sales-to-active-listings ratio is 15%. Generally, analysts define a balanced market as when the ratio is between 15 and 20%.There were 345 single family homes sold in July, an increase of 17.7% over July 2012, while the median price of $521,000 is down 1.7% year over year from $530,000. There were 127 condominium sales with a median price of $265,000 and 70 townhomes sold at a median price of $360,750.&#8221;We are also seeing multiple offers on some properties,&#8221; Mann says, &#8220;although these offers are not always over the asking price, illustrating the importance of consulting a REALTOR\u00ae to gain individual neighbourhood insight.&#8221;Total Waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 18, up four over July 2012<br \/>\nTotal Non-waterfront Single Family Dwellings sold: 327, up 48 over July 2012<br \/>\nSingle Family Dwellings sold over $1 million: 19 (2 over $2 million)<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-814\" alt=\"statisticalsummary\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ingridjarisz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/statisticalsummary-300x68.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ingridjarisz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/statisticalsummary-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ingridjarisz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/statisticalsummary.png 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ingridjarisz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/graphicalsummary.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-808\" alt=\"graphicalsummary\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ingridjarisz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/graphicalsummary-300x289.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ingridjarisz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/graphicalsummary-300x289.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ingridjarisz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/graphicalsummary.png 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" align=\"left\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Summary Report and Graphs<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vreb.org\/pdf\/vrebmss.pdf\">Monthly Sales Summary<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vreb.org\/pdf\/vrebgap.pdf\">Average Selling Price Graphs<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vreb.org\/pdf\/vrebgal.pdf\">Active Listings, New Listings and Sales Graphs<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 1, 2013 &#8211; Total real estate sales in Greater Victoria were up 11.5% in July 2013 over July 2012, the Victoria Real Estate Board reports.&#8221;Sales numbers are slightly lower than in June, but that\u2019s part of our normal summer market cycle.
