Nanaimo Real Estate as of June 1 2014 - What’s selling & for how much?

The Nanaimo real estate market is still humming along. According to the current absorption rates we are still experiencing a sellers' market .

How does one analyze the state of the Nanaimo real estate market?  This is a very important question for both buyers and sellers.  For buyers looking at real estate in Nanaimo the main concerns are price, selection and timing.  For people selling their Nanaimo home the important factors are timing, level of inventory (competition) on the market and how much they can ask for their home. I hope the following stats may assist both buyers and sellers in making real estate buying and selling decisions.

Here’s the type of real estate that sold in Nanaimo in May 2014 (source VIREB):
