Contents

Morning fog hangs like a soothing blanket over the dry bones of summer soaking life back into the hills. An autumn palette splashes orange, reds, yellows and browns through the village and up the hills into the woods.

Fall has arrived on the Southern Gulf Islands

Farmers and gardeners sigh in satisfactionFull larders reflect the summer’s labours of love. Trophies and ribbons from the fall fair bring memories of community gatherings, celebrations and the pride of work well done.

We are thankful for our Island home Surrounded by nature’s beauty from one daybreak to the next, our quiet roads and byways are safe and peaceful. Our neighbourhoods are friendly and welcoming with an abundance of heartfelt caring. Our community gathers for celebrations and to protest wrongs that need to be made right.

Christmas begins early on the Islands Industrious artisans smile in anticipation as they spin, carve, weave, sew, and create one-of-a-kind gifts for every taste. Historic halls are hung with boughs, bejeweled with lights and transformed into palaces filled with hand crafted gifts. Craft Fairs are a pleasure for the senses and provide Islanders with a time to enjoy the company of their neighbours while showing off their Island to visitors.

Autumn is a season not to be missed.

MARKET TRENDS... we can’t predict the future.... however we can examine statistics.

VREB GOLD &RE/MAX Platinum Award

Recipient - 2014

GOOD NEWS: As of October 22, 2015, 200 residential sales (blended total of all categories) for Salt Spring

represented an increase of 25% + compared to year to date in 2014 as reported by the VREB Statistics. The chart above shows that “on average”

residences are selling for 115% of assessed value, demonstrating that the average Sale is greater than Assessed value (S/A).

We also see that the average Selling to Listing ratio (S/L) is 96%, meaning that average selling price is 5% below the LAST listed price.

Do you sell this year or next? Let’s consider strategic planning, market competition, and review if listing in winter is a smart move when there is less competition.

Enjoy year-round sports and outdoor activities.Soccer fans have the advantage of year-round practices, mostly outdoors. Golfers challenge the links all year while tennis players move to indoor courts through the rainy season. Winter swimming is an option at the Rainbow Road public pool or swim year around in the ocean with the Salt Spring Seals. Hikers traverse mountain and shoreline trails all through the year. The Salt Spring Trail and Nature group plans hikes for all levels from September to June.

Watercraft, small and large ply our waters all year although shorter days and winter winds make this a season of rest for most. Even on the Gulf Islands there are some snowy days almost every winter. They come as a reminder of what the rest of Canada faces for most of the season.

Memories of centuries past. Middens mark shoreline gatherings of the first peoples who harvested food from the sea. Petroglyphs tell their stories. Orchards of long forgotten varieties were planted in the late 1800’s when Salt Spring was the fruit basket of British Columbia. Many of those trees still bear fruit.

Back-to-the-land dreamers.A movement began in the 1960’s that claimed the Islands and established a lifestyle celebrating the arts, healthy food, and the beauty of nature. Museums, locals and archeologists work together to tell the stories of our Islands’ past.

Investigate Salt Spring Island’s history at www.saltspringarchives.com and follow the links to other Southern Gulf Island histories. Our story is still evolving and islanders passionately participate in forming the future.

Ready for a change... Timing is everything! Our inventory of houses is low and yet we have motivated Buyers looking for their special place. I once sold a home on Christmas eve, so don’t believe that the only time to market your home is spring or summer. I welcome all questions, and would be happy to meet with you and discuss not only the value of your home, but listen to your thoughts, plans and what would work for you. You may feel that you can’t sell yet, because there are improvements to be made first; or you have no home to go to, yet really want to make that change. We can talk about this and any other concerns you might have.

Call today and arrange an appointment, I look forward to hearing from you.

2012 wasn’t a good year to sell

your home on Salt Spring

...especially in the winter.

We called John and he offered

suggestions on how we could ’

‘better our odds’. His advice worked!

John sold our home within 2 months.

Not only did John’s marketing

'set the hook’’, his negotiating

‘reeled them in’ !

Thank you John... it was fun!
