My Closed Sales So far in 2009 on Pender Island

Pender Island, May 26 2009

I have a break from work today, so I thought I would blog about what is happening here on Pender Island. The weather is beautiful, and smart buyers are coming to take full advantage of the opportunities in this down market. Other than the sales below, I have three more properties pending and two offers in the acceptance stage so will blog them as they progress. My buyers are getting some great deals at the moment, such as 10 acres of land with a house for under $400,000 or an acreage of waterfront with access to the beach for $325,000. Other opportunities are there, or will come on to the market as the summer progresses, so there is still plenty to go around.

Here are the properties that I have closed so far:

February 2009 - My buyers were looking at condos in Victoria until they saw this fantastic 10 acre parcel with home on my website. Within days we had an accepted offer and now they have their own mini-estate. Amazing!

March 2009 - The buyers saw the potential on this elevated and flat building lot in the popular Magic Lake Estates and snapped it up. Another property sold in less than 12 weeks!

April 2009 - This was another great opportunity for long term clients who have been looking for their dream recreational property for over a year. This waterfront acreage has it all! The long side of the lot is oceanside, there is a public trail with steps down to the beach next door, and it looks out to beautiful views of Saturna Island. What a great deal at $325,000! 

It is now very noticeable that all the best property is being consistently snapped up on the island over the last couple of months. The older listings have come down in price and sellers are willing to negotiate. Dont wait, the time is now to Get a great Deal, Buy and Hold!
