Claude Road residents have mixed opinions on parking lot Rezoning, public hearing not needed for project, but residents still feel left out of the loop about details Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

An uprooted tree caused some havoc for emergency crews on Tuesday in Colwood. Sooke Road was closed between Veterans Memorial Parkway and Metchosin Road, causing a number of traffic and transit delays.

Fallen tree snarls Sooke Road traffic Uprooted evergreen requires Hydro staff, arborists to cut it free from utility lines Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

A tree uprooted itself Tuesday morning and was perched precariously on utility lines, causing emergency and B.C. Hydro crews to ponder its removal. The tree came down on Sooke Road in Colwood, near the Veterans Memorial

Parkway intersection. Sooke Road was closed between that intersection and Jadel Road (near Metchosin Road) for roughly two hours while crews dealt with the tree. B.C. Hydro responded to the call with two crews of two people, while a local tree service company also assisted. West Shore RCMP, the Colwood Fire Department and Colwood municipal officials were also on scene. “(Hydro crews) do carry chainsaws in their trucks for those situations,” said Hydro spokesperson Karla Louwers. “The weight of (the tree) was on other utilities.”

She said crews responded because Hydro’s infrastructure was at risk and it was a matter of public safety. “The top of the tree was in contact and could potentially pull down our lines.” Crew members suspected the tree came down because its root system was compromised, Louwers said, possibly by root rot. While the crews removed the tree, she said, there was a 20-minute power outage that affected approximately 2,200 customers. The road closure also caused some traffic and transit disruptions. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

A controversial build has some Langford residents voicing their concerns. Nearby residents polled by the News Gazette were mixed in their reactions to the construction of a parking lot at 2765 Claude Rd. But whether for or against, most voiced frustration with what they called a lack of transparency and their being left out of the public process. Matthew Baldwin, the City’s director of planning, said the lot was already zoned for residential use and did not need to be rezoned to build the parking lot, a situation that negated the need for a public hearing. He referred any questions regarding plans for the parking lot to the parks and recreation department. “Danbrook Park renovations have been on the books for a number of years,” said Mike Leskiw, manager of parks and recreation. He said that since plans and budgets for the project went through council “that information was available to the public.” Construction began on the parking lot after a City-owned house was demolished last month to make way for, what the City then said was, an expansion of the park.

Langford hosts Peru firefighters for extra training Firefighters Without Borders program brings South American comrades to town Rick Stiebel News Gazette stafI

It’s been quite a fire drill for a couple of volunteer firefighters from Peru. Marco Yangali and Estafania Galarza Morales are conducting a whirlwind tour of fire departments on the Island and Lower Mainland to soak up as much training as possible as part of a Firefighters Without Borders Canada initiative. Yangali, 23, and Galarza Morales, 21, were invited to B.C. by a Firefighters Without Borders Canada contingent that included Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop and Lt. Dylan Walsh, who travelled to Peru in April. Yangali, chief of fire investigation and prevention for Callao hall No. 15, near Lima, and Galarza Morales, assistant chief for hall No. 23 in Garibaldi, are spending July 20 to Aug. 10 training at departments in Metchosin, Langford, Oak Bay, Sidney, Otter Point and Saltspring Island. The two visitors, who have an excellent command of English,

have already stayed with departments in Langley, Burnaby, Richmond and Port Moody. They both have worked as translators for Firefighters Without Borders for the past three years, and jumped at the opportunity to come to Canada for the first time. “It’s a beautiful country and everyone is very friendly and helpful,” Yangali said during a busy day at the Langford main hall that included time on a ladder truck and the department’s fireboat, as well as time with dispatch and B.C. Ambulance. “The work here is more technical and they have different standards and procedures that have given us some good ideas that may work well back home.” All of the firefighters working in Lima and the surrounding area, with a population of 13 million, are volunteers. Galarza Morales identified improving public education as one of the goals of the trip. “I think we have accomplished that,” she said. All of the halls we visited

“The work here is more technical and they have different standards and procedures that have given us some good ideas that may work well back home.”

Aubrey said that whether firefighters are from Peru, Afghanistan or the U.S., a bond exists based on the experiences firefighters share. “The language may be different, but the bond transcends territorial boundaries,” he added. Yangali and Galarza Morlaes said they are overwhelmed by the support, kindness and help they have received during the trip. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Funding for paving, street beautification may come next year Continued from Page A1

Since construction began a small portion of the park has been removed as well as several trees. Langford Mayor Stewart Young, said “one parking stall length” was removed from the park and some unexpected trees were cut down because they posed a safety risk. Leskiw confirmed that the parking lot was expanded a little more than originally planned. He also noted that one removed oak tree in particular was rotten to the core. “It could have killed someone if it had come down.”

Young said the row of about 20 stalls closest to the park will have a two-hour parking limit and were intended to be used for park parking. The other roughly 70 to 75 stalls will be designated for longterm parking for use by people working or shopping in the downtown core. There is no plan for overnight parking. “The more free parking you have, the more vibrant your downtown is,” Young said, adding the lot would solidify the city’s nopay parking plan for the next 10 to 20 years. “I never want to see pay parking in Langford.”

The next phase of this project will be to pave the parking lot, which will be left as gravel in the meantime. Young hopes to include funding for this and more beautification work to be done along Claude Road in next year’s budget. The City also hopes the parking lot will open up and help improve sight lines into Danbrook Park, which as previously reported, has undergone some revitalization work after having some problems with illicit activities in the past. Young hopes the parking lot will encourage more people to use the park, which will in turn help

decrease crime in the area. He said money was a factor in the timing of this project, even though there had been previous safety concerns regarding the park. “We would have loved to do it 10 years ago.” He said the City also had to finish projects on Goldstream Avenue before expanding down side streets. When asked about rumours involving the parking lot being the future home of a multi-level parkade, Young said “Langford council is not building a parkade on that lot.” He said the city could

potentially build parkades on all city owned lots, but the density of the core would have to drastically increase first. “We would have to see a real need.” Young didn’t expect to see any Langford parkades in his lifetime and added that to fund such a structure, the City would have to charge for parking. The goal is to have the lot finished in time for the Langford Car Show on Aug. 15. Young said additional parking could be needed for the event, which drew between 7,000 and 10,000 people last year. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Metchosin’s colourful history is central to upcoming tour Old St. Mary’s church, cemetery give glimpse into pioneer families Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Weir, Witty, Leefield, Helgesen and Pears. Even if you don’t live in Metchosin, you may be familiar with some of the roads named after pioneer families who helped shape the future of the proudly rural district. A free event on Sunday, Aug. 16 from 2 to 5 p.m. will shed some light on the rich heritage and history of Metchosin through a tour of the cemetery beside St. Mary The Virgin Church, 4354 Metchosin Rd. The church itself is worth the trip, said Robert Patterson, one of a handful of volunteers

who preserve the cemetery and grounds renowned for their bursts of wildflower colour, especially in the spring. Built between 1873 and 1876 on one hectare of land donated by pioneer John Witty, the Anglican parish is one of the better examples of the Gothic Revival style in Western Canada. The church received heritage status from the District of Metchosin in 1990. Elements of that style include simple massing, a steeply pitched roof, arched tripartite windows, leaded glass lights, a battered, gothic arched steeple with bell, narrow wood siding and trim and a black and white colour scheme. “The cemetery contains the graves of many of the pioneer settlers of Metchosin,” Patterson noted. Geart Linnaea, District of Metchosin Heritage Committee

“The cemetery contains the graves of many of the pioneer settlers of Metchosin.” – Robert Patterson chair, said the event has been popular in the past. “We’re very proud of our heritage families,” she said. “It’s important to keep people connected to their history, and we appreciate the efforts Metchosin takes to preserve our heritage by sponsoring the event.” The day features tours at 2:15 and 3:45 p.m. and includes a tea in the parish hall and a classical music performance by three students under the direction of Metchosin performer Allison Marshall, who teaches harp and piano. news@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Is online attack cyber-bullying? Officiating in amateur sports is, like the athletes’ performances on the field of play, a case of hit-or-miss. Individuals have good games and not-so-good games. Some people feel it’s their right to criticize officials when they stumble, especially during big games when the stakes are high for the teams. Some spectators go out of their way to berate amateur officials for those mistakes, and we’ve seen where that can lead (see Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association banning parents from games). Langford Coun. Roger Wade may have stepped over the line this week by using social media as a platform to personally attack and name an umpire who made a wrong call during a key moment in a Premier Baseball League playoff game at Royal Athletic Park. By calling out the umpire by name, telling her explicitly and publicly, “You Suck,” and attaching a video of the play – implicitly encouraging people to comment on it – has Wade engaged in cyber-bullying? Possibly. The umpire likely feels bad for potentially altering the game, even if she didn’t show it outwardly. Who really knows how she feels inside? But this is not about the call, the result of the game, players’ disappointment or anger or even questioning whether officials are appropriately trained to work elite-level games. A growing number of people are using social media as a way to make disparaging comments about others. They somehow believe that because they’re “communicating” through wire and glass, they are free from any consequences for their verbal attacks. We find this indefensible anytime. But it’s particularly discouraging to see an elected official engage in this behaviour as a way to express their opinion. We expect leadership from our elected officials, and the very public world of social media leaves those individuals and their non-political activities open to even more scrutiny. It’s one thing to put your opinion out there about what someone else has done, it’s another altogether to attack someone personally in a public forum. We hope the fact the comments have been removed indicates a change of heart. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

More traffic safety measures needed Re: Glen Lake Road to see speedreducing measures (Gazette, July 29) I am glad the City of Langford has finally acknowledged that the traffic speeding down Glen Lake road is a safety concern. However, this is the same traffic that speeds first down Alouette Drive, ignoring the 30 km/h zone, two crosswalks and soon, the new school walkway before entering Glen Lake Road. Over the past five years, after three children were almost hit by speeding cars, we have contacted Langford’s engineering department, Langford council, West Shore RCMP and the Integrated Road Safety Unit, Transport Canada and most recently ICBC asking for a solution to calm the traffic. We offered ideas like speed bumps, a four-way stop, police traffic tickets and digital speed signs. We have been informed that the RCMP does not have a speed monitoring unit and IRSU does not do residential. Langford said to qualify for a four-way stop there must be five or more collisions per year, and unlike View Royal and Saanich, they don’t believe in speed humps. ICBC said that digital speed signs are a good idea, but the process and the funding will have to be investigated. With the new Belmont secondary opening in four weeks and Alouette Drive being the main access road to cross for hundreds of school children from K-12, we cannot afford to wait until someone gets killed before anything is done. Lara Allsopp Langford

Jenkins Road speed is also an issue Nice to see Glen Lake Road is a concern to Langford council. But what about the speeding after Parkdale Drive and the school, you know, that straightaway street called Jenkins Avenue? Never heard of it I guess, so fear not, drivers, once you get past the school. You can still ignore the traffic sign on Glen Lake and Jenkins as usual, with no speed-reducing measures or even a speed limit sign on Jenkins Avenue. You can really floor it and make up for your lost time to reach Jacklin Road. Kenneth List Langford

Note to dog owners: observe rules at park As a daily user of Colwood Creek Park and having frequented it for 20 years, I am dismayed at the lack of respect shown for the decreasing wildlife and other users of the park. This is not an off-leash dog park. The City of Colwood does not have typical “leash laws.” Rather, their bylaw indicates a few on-leash required areas and the rest of the city requires dogs be under “effective control.” One such area is within the playground in Colwood Creek Park, where all dogs must be on leash. Outside the playground, if your dog rampages through the wildlife areas (denoted with signs that say “wildlife area, no dogs”), runs up and jumps on people, aggressively approaches more passive dogs or does not come when called, it is not under effective control. Kindly respect the bylaws in

place, the remaining wildlife in the creek and other users of the park. Melissa Wolfe Colwood

Harnessing dogs is a better idea A couple of days ago I talked to a man about the dog in the back of his truck. I said if he came to a sudden stop, the dog would go flying and come to a sudden stop by the collar around its neck, killing it. The guy said ‘don’t worry, I’m a good driver.’ Doesn’t he know that in an accident it’s always the other driver’s fault? When I was at the vet’s office, I heard of two dogs that came in from this. Dog harnesses exist that don’t go around dogs’ necks. Dogs trust and depend on us. They think everything we do is right. Let’s not break this trust and their necks. Please use a car harness instead of a neck collar. Linda Kendall Langford

West Shore clinics were open to patients over long weekend A common misconception sent some patients to ER Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Hopefully this past long weekend you didn’t find yourself like many people, sitting in an emergency department, watching the clock slowly tick away your holiday. It’s a situation many West Shore residents dread, without realizing there is an alternative. Island Health statistics show an increasing number of patients in emergency rooms during statutory holiday weekends. The health authority states at least some of that increase is related to the fact many family physician offices are closed and some walk-in clinics aren’t open. Krys Bateman, head medical office assistant at St. Anthony’s Treatment Centre on Goldstream Avenue, said one of the most common misconceptions surrounding clinics is that they are closed on weekends and holidays. “There’s actually quite a few (walkin clinics) open on long weekends,” she said. The Colwood Medical Treatment Centre, located on Sooke Road at Colwood Corners, also had its doors

open this past long weekend. It only closes on Canada Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day, although hours are dependent on physician availability. St. Anthony’s is open for walk-in patients every day except Dec. 25. Like the Colwood clinic, however, the clinic’s hours of operation can sometimes be limited due to doctor availability, Bateman said. “It’ll be crazy dead or crazy busy, there’s no medium when it comes to long weekends,” she said. While the average wait time is usually around 45 minutes, it can be longer due to patients requiring complex care, she added. “We do our best.” Typically Mondays and Fridays are busier for the clinic. Contributing to that, she says, are scenarios where people come home from a trip and realize they’re not feeling well, or are perhaps getting children ready for a trip and not wanting something like a sore throat to get overlooked. There has been a rise in foot traffic to clinics due to the diminishing number of general practitioners. The trend has seen many patients go without a family doctor, since a large number of GPs have retired without replacements to take over their practices. Many, including Bateman, say this phenomenon has been growing for

more than two years, and has caused a shift from them seeing more typical cases like sore throats and colds to more complex issues. Bateman doesn’t like to see patients with ailments such as sore throats or earaches head to an ER simply because they don’t know there’s an alternative option open. “I feel for the emergency rooms that get overrun,” she said. If you need medical assistance but aren’t sure whether to go to an emergency department or a clinic, you can call Healthlink B.C. at 811 and talk to a registered nurse. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

What’s the wait? A pilot project by Vancouver Coastal Health has launched a website that monitors Vancouver, Richmond, and North Shore emergency department wait times, with the hope of expanding to the rest of the B.C.’s health regions. For more information please go to edwaittimes.ca.

Catch the wave in a Fiat 500

www.goldstreamgazette.com • A9

Question of the Week When you take a summer driving holiday what do you include in your car care emergency kit that you don’t include in your winter kit?

DrivewayCanada.ca |

When was the last time another motorist waved at you because you were driving a similar make and model as theirs?

Safety Tip:

the optional navigation sits atop the dash, which affects visibility. But for the reasons I wrestle with the Fiat 500, there are more favourable features. The optional Beats stereo sounds great, the leatherwrapped sport steering wheel and shift knob feel nice between my fingers and the optional red leather seats make the interior pop. Then there’s the drivability. I love its competency in corners. It handles much like a decked out go-kart but doesn’t give you the same kinds of aches and pains. The Fiat 500 Turbo Hatchback has a starting MSRP of $21,395. But with all the options, the price as tested comes out to $30,370. Visit fiatcanada.com for more information.

Langford girls collect beach medals Volleyball Western Nationals coming up in Parksville

to the video presentation of

“THE LIGHT OF UNITY; INTRODUCTION TO THE BAHAI FAITH”

Savannah Purdy, left, and teammate Charlie Holborn flank coach Mike Toakley after collecting the silver medal in Volleyball B.C.’s 15-under girls beach volleyball provincial championships at Spanish Banks in Vancouver.

Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

The winds of fate can be cruel in the sport of beach volleyball. At the very least they can be unpredictable. The team of Savannah Purdy and Charlie Holborn found that out late in the deciding set of the Volleyball B.C. 15-under girls provincial championship final Sunday on the sands of Spanish Banks in Vancouver. Tied at a game apiece and trailing 14-13, Purdy and Holborn judged an opposing return to be out, only to see the wind bring the ball back in where it landed on the line for the winning point. For the girls’ coach Mike Toakley, who could only stand by and watch, it was just one of those things. “That’s beach volleyball; that’s the difference between an indoor and an outdoor game, it’ll work for you as much as it will work against you,” he said. The Langford girls and former Spencer middle school teammates – Holborn lives in Ottawa having moved with her family a couple of years ago – came in ranked No. 1 based on points accrued through tournament play this season. Both Purdy and Holborn, on opposite sides of the country, competed and did well playing in older age groups on occasion. They breezed through the round robin, winning three matches in the minimum two sets to win their pool, then

posted wins in the quarters and semifinals. Another Langford pair, Gracie May and Taylee Pomponio, didn’t come quite as close to gold, but did come away with a silver medal in the 14U draw. Also seeded first, they went 2-1 to win their pool, then won an inspired match in three sets against a team that came in ultra-confident, Toakley said. While they rolled through the semifinal in straight sets, May and Pomponio lost two straight in the gold medal showdown. “They did not have the best match in the final,” Toakley said. “For whatever reason they came out really flat, even though they had played some phenomenal volleyball earlier in the day.” He figured the quarter-final took a lot out of them, not to mention the heat of the weekend and the sheer physicality of the beach game. “I told them after the final that they can play at this level, even if you didn’t do it just now.” A third pair of Greater Victoria

players, May’s older sister Hannah and Oak Bay resident Erin Mutch, lost in the quarter-finals and wound up seventh in the 15U division, after going 3-0 in pool play. The six girls, with so-called Langford super-sub Olivia Godek replacing Holborn playing with Purdy, are gearing up for the Western National Championships in Parksville, Aug. 14 to 16. Godek teamed with another member of the Langford clan, Miranda Cyr, to win the Island 15U crown last month over Hannah May and Mutch, while Purdy and Holborn won bronze at 16U. The western national tournament only features even age categories, so the 15U players will move up to compete in the 16U division. As a return gesture to Holborn spending a month out here, Purdy plans to travel to Toronto later this month for the Eastern Nationals, where the two will team up to play the 15U draw. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Int. ‘A’ Shamrocks B.C. champs Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Monday’s provincial championship win was a sweet reward for Victoria Shamrocks intermediate ‘A’ lacrosse head coach Tim Dennett and his staff. A 14-7 victory over New Westminster gave the Shamrocks the gold at the George Preston Recreation Centre in Langley, and culminated years of hard work and enduring a little frustration. “Some of these kids, my brother (assistant

coach Terry Dennett) and I have worked with them for five and six years,” he said. After the Shamrocks lost the gold medal game last year, he said, “the kids wanted to start right away working out and getting ready for next season.” The hard work at practice and the extra conditioning off the floor paid off, as the Shamrocks outlasted the Salmonbellies in the B.C. final. They built a 4-0 early and extended that to 5-2 before New West

New Westminster and Coquitlam each went 2-1 in round robin play, with Victoria’s wins coming over New West (9-4) and Langley (187). Coquitlam beat the ‘Rocks 9-7 in the opener last Friday. The top two teams qualified for the final, with the Shamrocks finishing first based on goal differential. The tight standings in the provincial tournament mirrored the regular season, when Coquitlam finished on top with a 15-3 record and Victoria, New West and Port Coquitlam tying for second with 14-4 marks. editor@goldstream gazette.com

regrouped and tied it up at six. Rather than fold their tents and let the mainland squad maintain their momentum, the Shamrocks dug deep, Dennett said. “We’ve got a lot of second-year guys and we believe in ourselves,” he said. “We took a deep breath, got to 9-6 and then shut the door.” After Victoria scored twice more in the third to open up a five-goal lead, New West pulled their goalie. The Shamrocks, led by all-star goaltender Spencer Irwin, were solid defensively, giving little in the way of opportunities. “(Irwin) stood on his head. The kid was unbelievable, he was very calm, handled the ball well and made big saves when we needed them,” Dennett said. Among the other leaders for the team were captain Marshall King, who led all goal scorers in the playoffs and earned a first all-star team nod; David Burns, who was also named a tournament all-star, and Eddy Smith, whose brilliant backhand goal with 10 minutes left in the third broke the Salmonbellies backs and made it 12-6.

Rebels take new-look offence to Kamloops Don Descoteau

Rebels quarterback Ashton MacKinnon looks to run against the Vancouver Island Raiders in BCFC action last weekend.

loss at home to the Vancouver Island Raiders. “It was really fun. Practice was awesome, getting to do something else.” Lake was more than effective, catching two touchdown passes from starter Ashton MacKinnon and racking up a teamleading 136 yards in receiving. The tandem gave the Rebels a whole new dimension to their offence. “His moving from QB to slot definitely helps with the chemistry,” Mackinnon said of Lake. “Because he was in my position, he knows what I’m thinking and he’ll be where he needs to be.” That intuition may well come in handy for tomorrow’s game (Aug. 8) in Kamloops, a contest that could be an air show. Westshore

News Gazette staff

Hunter Lake is having fun. For a second straight game with the Westshore Rebels, he’s expecting to line up at slotback, the Canadian football version of tight end. His size, speed, agility and durability seem to make him a perfect fit for the position. Over three-plus seasons playing quarterback in the B.C. Football Conference, he’s gained a reputation for being able to see the field well and make the most of broken plays. Now he’s catching balls instead of throwing then, for the most part. “Everything kind of got flipped on its head,” he said this week, following the Rebels’ narrow 23-21

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

DEATHS

It is with deep mourning that we announce the passing of Peter Christopher Wilson. Peter passed away peacefully on July 21 at the age of 59. Survived by his partner, Jean Priest; children: Rebecca, Andrew and Katrina Wilson, step daughter: Nicole Abbot; grandchildren: Grace and Megan Abbot and Gabriel Herman; and siblings: Neil Wilson and Pam (Russ) Watters. Peter was born Ross Francis Whiteduck in Kirkland Lake ON and was adopted at birth by Alex and Betty Wilson. He grew up in Haileybury, ON and at age 16 he hitchhiked across the country to Nanaimo BC to â€˜go loggingâ€™. After suffering a devastating knee injury he changed professions slightly and for the last 35 years Peter was a blaster in both urban and residential settings. Peter identified himself as an alcoholic; and through strong character and resolve was sober for the last 34 years of his life. He was an active AA member and contributed to the sobriety of many people. Peter will always be remembered for his keen intellect and his piercing blue eyes. He possessed a profound intolerance for â€˜stupidityâ€™ and had an ability to bring laughter to friends and family and anyone he met with his quirky way of seeing life. Peter had an endless supply of stories, jokes and anecdotes collected over the many years he worked in numerous bush camps and job sites. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 8th at 2:00pm at the Westside Bible Church at 3307 Wishart Road in Victoria. Condolences can be made at www.carefuneral.com

Q: WHY BUY IN SUMMER? Depending on the climate, more homes are built and come onto the market during the summer. And more options make for a more buyer-friendly market, because of the competition as well as increased selection. As well, traditionally, people selling homes want to get it done during the spring so they can settle in during the summer, use vacation time for renovations and make arrangements for their kids to start school in the fall. You may well find a deal on a home in the summer for less money than what it would have cost in the spring.

GREATER VICTORIA MARKET UPDATE » MONTH ENDING JULY 31/15

COURTESY VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD

796/681 » 1,235/1,195 » 3,942/4,570

NET UNCONDITIONAL SALES / TOTAL, JULY 2014 NEW LISTINGS / TOTAL, JULY 2014 ACTIVE RESIDENTIAL LISTINGS / TOTAL, JULY 2014

Annual summer slowdown not so noticeable Don Descoteau

The number of listings shrunk in July from the spring total around Greater Victoria, but sales were up nearly 17 per cent from July 2014. Generally, summer tends to be a quieter time for sales, with many people on holidays.

News Gazette staff

Nobody was talking much about the drop in home sales in July from June around Greater Victoria, since the summer real estate swoon is a regular occurrence around these parts. What did raise eyebrows, however, was that the total sales for all types of homes, 796, was up nearly 17 per cent higher than the same month last year. With that increase came a continued slow climb in selling prices. “I think people overall are a little more confident in the market,” says Tim Ayres, past-president of the Victoria Real Estate Board. “More people are buying because more people are buying; it does create a little more of a buzz out there.” On the West Shore, the benchmark price for a typical single family home crept up slightly to $422,800, a region-low change of less than a third of one per cent from last month. On the other hand, the benchmark is more than $10,000 higher than July

2014 or roughly 2.4 per cent. Looking at it from a supply and demand perspective, the board uses the ratio of sales to active listings to determine whether the market is tilted toward buyers (downward pressure on prices), sellers (upward pressure on prices) or neither (little pressure either way, thus creating a balanced market). Given that the ratio sat just over 20 per cent for July in Greater Victoria, we’re on the high edge of a balanced market. It means we aren’t at a

point where bidding wars are rampant due to lack of supply, Ayres said, but instances where multiple offers on homes are being received are becoming more common. While the sales numbers this year have shown a positive climate for real estate, people need to be careful to not price a home too aggressively in hopes of taking advantage of the improved market, he said. “They have to be pretty confident in their marketing strategy and the activity in their neighbourhood,”

welcome

Ayres said, noting that inappropriately priced homes can sit on the market for longer than necessary. As for summer being sleepy season due to people being on holiday, the increased activity in general continues to keep real estate agents busy. Ayres took a little time off recently, but still managed to negotiate three deals while he was away. “The nice thing about our job is we can do so much remotely,” he said, adding the smartphone has been a great invention for realtors. “When you’re looking at the raw numbers, there’s definitely a dropoff in July and August then you get an uptick in the fall. But we’re still so much busier than last year.” The outstanding summer weather Greater Victoria has been experiencing doesn’t hurt home sales, either, with gardens in bloom and plenty of blue skies in exterior photos. It’s a great way to envision some of the best a home can be. For more on the selling regions of Greater Victoria, visit vreb.org. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
