The Oak Bay Historical Real Estate Market Trend Graphs below indicate the following:
- Oak BaySingle Family Home Average Prices (Values) Came close to $ 1,000,000 by the end of 2010, and have since seen a modest decline to approx. $ 920,000 by the end of 2011.
- The Number of Oak BaySingle Family Homes Sold, saw a significant drop during 2010, and has a continued to soften modestly during 2011, while prices remained more or less unchanged.
- Oak BayCondominiums (suites), Town-Homes and 1/2 Duplexes Prices (values) have seen a relatively steep increase since 2010. With only 250 listings sold over the 4 years of the sample, the Oak Bay market is easily influenced by the sales of suites in one or two new developments
- The Number of Oak Bay Condominiums (suites), Town-Homes and 1/2 Duplexes Sold between 2010 and the end of 2011 is a bit of a jo-jo, and seems to be influenced by the introduction and pre-sales of one highly anticipated development (Oak Bay Marina/Hotel) although there are still more strata properties sold than in 2008.
As to drawing possible conclusions for the Oak BayReal Estate Market from these historical real estate market results :
- It would appear that the Single Family Home Market in Oak Bay with modestly declining sales price levels and continued decline in the Number of Sales, Oab Bays Single Faimily Home market will likely balance the market over the coming year to 18 months. This should caution Sellers to prepare, present and price their property accordingly unless dramatic external issues changes the typical progression)
- As To Oak BayCondominiums (suites), Town-Homes and 1/2 Duplexes, the story is entirely different..... With the relatively sharp increase in the number of sales in Oak Bay since 2010, while prices have continued to increase, one could conclude (for Buyers) that prices are likely to continue to increase over the next 12 - 24 months. For Oak Bay Buyers, it seems to be very important to use timing (buy sooner rather than later) to your advantage as todays values for Condominiums represent the best value in the Oak Bay market today.
