August 2017 – Prince Rupert (& Area) Real Estate
From the August stats, our market is showing no major signs of an impact from the Petronas announcement. The number of sales is down from August of last year, however, the number of sales from July 2017 was also down. So, it’s difficult to make assumptions at this point.
Our average sale price is up from this time last year, and $1503 more than last month. We are still faring well overall, and seem to be going steadily along.
