This is an article published in the West Coast Design magazine earlier this year. Located south of Nanaimo, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, the 520 acre Cable Bay property is situated on the bluff overlooking the beautiful Dodd Narrows, known to mariners coast-wide as the gateway to B.C.’s scenic Gulf Island. Superb sunrise views and the fact that the Cable Bay Nanaimo resort will include plenty of green space and an 18 hole signature champtionship golf course set within a dramatic, forested landscape with stunning ocean views make this location all the more attractive.

The next steps for Cable Bay Nanaimo Real Estate Release

The first phase of the development – The Estates at Cable Bay Resort – features 17 waterfront acreages – 12 of which are five-acre waterfront lots and five are five-acre ocean view lots – hugging the coastline with 3,200 feet of waterfront along the shores of Nanaimo.

Two passenger/car ferries and an airport connect this mid-island city with the B.C. mainland. Gary Browning, one of Canada’s leading golf architects, has designed the golf course to flow with the natural terrain and to incorporate ocean, forest and island views.

Organic-based products, endorsed by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, will be sued on the golf course at Cable Bay Nanaimo Resort development.

Gary Browning talks about the Cable Bay Golf Course in Nanaimo: Our goal was to create an exciting resort golf course, unlike any other on the Island, that capitalizes on the site’s inherent natural character, open ocean views and unique landscape quality,” says Browning.

Pender Harbour Community

Scuba dive in any season in the protected waters: the Pender Harbour Sunshine Coast is known to be one of the world’s best sites for underwater exploration. Coined the “Venice of the North” because of its complex maze of waterways and lakes, water taxis are the preferred mode of transportation in and around the area of Pender Harbour Sunshine Coast.

Sechelt

Taking its name from one of the Coast Salish Indian bands, “Sechelt” means land between two waters. Suitably labelled given that this Sunshine Coast community sits on a sandbar; one one side of Sechelt is the Straight of Georgia and on the other side, Porpoise Bay. If it weren’t for this small neck of land les than a kilometre wide, a large portion of the peninsula north of Sechelt would be an island, cut off from the mainland. Sechelt is the Sunshine Coast’s Lower Coast largest town where retirees make up approximately 30 per cent of the population. Don’t miss the Festival of the Written Arts in August, held annually at the Rockwood Lodge. The natural seaside beach creates an ideal summer desintation for families where camping, water activities, and golfing make for lasting memories. Check out the activity underway at Seaview Villa Estates, an exclusive Sunshine Coast Sechelt community in West Sechelt featuring townhomes/garden apartments on three ocean view acres.

Halfmoon Bay

A sweeping scalloped bay protected from the open sea by South Thormanby Island, this sleepy village at Halfmoon Bay, Sunshine Coast of permanent homes, summer cabins, and five regional parks is a visual feast: check out Halfmoon Bay Lookout for a panoramic view of Welcome Pass, the Thormanby Islands, and Malaspina Strait. From the Heritage General Store of Susnhine Coast Halfmoon Bay, a gathering place located on the waterfront, access to Redroofs Trail provides a historical and interpretative stroll along a gently pitched, forested walkway. If you visit in July, join in the Halfmoon Bay Country Fair, a traditional community event in the Sunshine Coast of BC. Visit the Sargeant Bay Provincial Park, excellent for bird watching, or explore the Smuggler Cover Provincial Marine Park and hike into the wilderness.

Roberts Creek

Funky and eclectic best describes this unconventional community coined the gumboot capital of the world; Robers Creek is part throwback to the ‘60s where hippies add a colourful splash to the offbeat and creative landscape – part progressive community. Locals at Roberts Creek Sunshine Coast affectionaley known as “Creekers” are a diverse lot; they don’t all hold identical beliefs, but several passionate consistencies emerge as a common thread; they are keen to maintain the rural character of the community of Roberts Creek in the Sunshine Coast, they’re avid supporters of tree and water conservation, they encourage home based businesses and low speed, tree lined roadways, they hold belief in community gatherings, and they choose to preserve a centralized commercial area in keeping with a unique Roberts Creek character. Harvest fresh mussels or oysters at Sunshine Coast Roberts Creek Picnic grounds, and then reel in a coho or Chinook at nearby Chapman Creek, the only stream on the Sechelt Peninsula where anglers can keep these favoured salmon. Close by, you can tee-up at one of BC’s golfing jewels, the 18 hole public Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club.

Earls Cove Sunshine Coast

At the north end of the peninsula, the ferry to Powell River docks at Earl’s Cove, also near Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park, where the Skookumchuk, the world’s fastest flowing tidal marine rapids, pass the tidal flow from Sechelt Inlet. Earls Cove and Egmont are gateway communities for canoeing or kayaking to Sakinaw Lake, which opens to the salt water of the Agamemnon Channel. The 50 minute BC Ferries trip across Jervis Inlet and up Agamemnon Channel, which travels past Nelson Island to Saltery Bay, is where Highway 101 conteinues to the Upper Sunshine Coast and Powell River.

Powell River BC

The regional district of Powell River with a population of 19,599 stretches along the lengthy shoreline from Saltery Bay to Lund. It is renowned for scuba diving with over 100 dive sites int eh immediate vicinity, also considered as one of the best salt and freshwater fishing destinations in Canada. Jacques Coustea claimed Powell River’s emerald waters were “second only to the Red Sea,” and a dive in these parts quickly reveals why. The Powell River may be the second shortest river in the world at just 500 metres long, but it connects with a string of Lakes: Powell, Goat and Windsor, which characterizes much of the inland region. Laying claim to one the mildest climates in the country, year-round temperatures averages 10 degrees and summer varies from 18 to 30 degrees. The safety and security of a small town such as Powell River with the infrastructure of a major city make it an ideal location to work, live or vacation. The Powell River Sunshine Coast history as a prosperous foresty community is honoured each year at the Powell River Loggers’ Sports Competition with events such as chainsaw carving, axe throwing and tree climbing.

Gibsons

As of 2006, with a climbing tally of 4.182 residents, Gibson’s population digits are expected to double in the next twenty five years. The area is made up of mostly families with young children with a higher percentage of single parent homes and fewer people of retirement age. Just a few minutes west of the Langdale ferry dock, past the small communities of Hopkins and Grantham Landing, Gibsons is considered the main marine getaway to the Sunshine Coast and is experiencing rapid growth and real estate development. Gibsons is tucked into the sheltered shoreline on Howe Sound to the east, surrounded by Mount Elphinstone to the north, and the Strait of Georgia on the southwest. Take the Heritage Walk Gibsons to explore the bustling working harbour, stroll along the public wharf and the boardwalk to the vista gazebo, a great place for Fido to stretch his legs. Buffy’s See Spot Run Pet Services offers pet owners peace of mind on the Sunshine Coast should you need to leave home and your four legged companions behind. Beyond the harbour’s marine activity, alive with kayakers, sailboats and yachts stop by Molly’s Reach, the site of the 1971 to 1990 Beachcombers CBC series, once a TV soundstage now popular hangout for locals and visitors.

Saltery Bay

On the north shore of Jervis Inlet, the Upper Sunshine Coast area is well documented as having some of the best mountain biking trails in the province, most of which are clearly marked with a white mountain bike symbol There is a challenging ascent at the beginning of your ride on Elephant bay loop at Saltery Bay, a 48 kilometre (30 miles) easy ride that will keep you peddling most of the day. Some of the best ocean fishing is found in the Lang Creek Estruary at Saltery Bay, approximately 22 kilometres west of the bay ont eh west side of Highway 101. Beach casting is popular here for spring salmon from mid-September through late October. A mermaid sighting off shore from Saltrey Bay Provincial Park is imminent: a 3 metre bronzed Emerald Princess is anchored in 18 metres of water, the first underwater statue in Canada.

Lund

The Pan American highway (the world’s longest, also named Highway 101 in parts of the US and Canada) begins in Castra on Chile’s south caost and stretches 14,973 kilometres to the public boat ramp beside the feted Lund Hotel in the Sunshine Coast – the end of the road for BC’s Highway 101 on the Sunshine Coast. Twenty minutes north of Powell River, Lund offers salmon sport fishing right off the breakwater, as well as a boardwalk, craft shops, cafes and restaurants overlooking the Lund Harbour. Founding Swedes Fred and Charles Thulin named the village Lund after the university town in Sweden and built the first licensed hotel north of Vancouver in 1889; today it remains the heart of the hamlet and the gateway to Desolation Sound. Take a water taxi to sAvery Island and don’t miss kayaking the Copeland Islands Marine Park, a few miles north of Lund in the Sunshine Coast. Locally known as the Ragged Islands, this cluster of islands is an oasis of fertile marine gardens with a diverse range of wildlife. The Raggeds are excellent for day trips, overnighters or as a stopover enroute to Desolation Sound or Cortes Island.

Desolation Sound

Beyond the end of Highway 101, Desololation Sound Marine Park is BC’s largest marine park, with more than 60 kilometres of shoreline and several small islands, bays and coves. The Desolation Sound of Sunshine Coast exceeds 28 degres claiming the warmets waters in North America north of the Gulf of Mexico, perfect to swim and scuba dive, while the forested upland offers trails and hidden lakes. Okeover Inlet is quickly becoming oneo f the premier destinations in Desolation Sound; visit the Laughing Oyster for a dynamite dish of gunpowder prawns and take the secret ingredient home with a pack of Garden Gate gourmet herb and spices by chef Dave Bowes. The Sunshine Coast is only accessible from the Lower Mainald by water or air. Served by BC Ferries from Horseshow Bay in West Vancouver, journey 40 minutes to Langdale on the Sechelt Peninsula where Highway 101 links Langddale with Garden Bay.

While most people look to escape to tropical resorts or fantasize about residing anywhere else but their day-to-day digs, some pack their passports and possessions and head for their annual retreat they call a holiday. However, residents on the Sunshine Coast are exactly wehre they want to be – living life in a destination that possesses all the sun drenched attributes and high lights of a year round vacation – a daily retreat they call home. A great article by Tracey R for the BC Homes and Resort magazine.

Within the 180 kilometre sculpted shoreline stretching from the ink blue waters of Howe Sound to the deep cerulean recesses of Desolation Sound lays a widely refreshing tonic of West Coast fusion. Seprated by the Jervis Inlet, the Lower Sunshine Coast features winds its way from Port Mellon to Egmont with the livesly communities of Gibsons, Sechelt and Pender Harbour just to name a few, while the Upper Sunshine Coast features Saltry Bay, Powell River and Lund. The two regions are a scenic overload of exceptional wilderness (Saltry Bay is a trailhead for the 180 kilometre Sunshine Coast Trail, with sections of sub-alpine vegetation and old growth temperate rainforest) and waterways that beckon the avid and novice boater alike. Ask any seafarer worth his weight in sea salt to name a favourite anchaorage and Desolation Sound Provincial Marine Park will top the list (BC’s largest at 8,256 hectares). This eclectic verdant Coast seizes the myriad offerings of marine recreation, extreme and soft adventures, intimate spas, sporting activities the likes of golf, cycling and hiking and for those with a cultural beent, a lively First Nations history, galleries, artisan studios, and a vibrant and contemporary arts community that is second to none.

Positioned as a year round destination, these pursuits are enjoyed by over 27,759 lcoals according to the 2006 census an increase of 8.4 per cent from 25,599 residents in 2001. The influx of people relocating to the Sunshine Coast is no surprise: a particular draw is the pleasant 2,400 hours of annual sunshine (an average of six hours per day), a desirable environment for those who are inclined to seek warmer climes without taking on snowbird status. According to the 2007 MLS Housing Price Index for single family homes on the Sunshine Coast, the past year has seen very strong home prices for the region. The Vancouver Real Estate Board reveals that “for the last two years, the sales to listing ratio have maintained a healthy level, between 0.5 and 1.0 one a three month moving average. The ratio of sales to listings for the Sunshine Coast real estate shows a cyclical pattern, rising in the winter months as new listings drop.”

Commuting by Floatplane – Housing Update
As usual, Pieta W for the Georgia Straight: Dave M lives on the 15th floor of a beachfront condo with a view of the Strait of Georgia, and has a traffic-free, 25 minute commute to his job in Vancouver’s financial district. He pays $1,200 per month toward his mortgage of the beachfront condominium. What is this insanely convenient, affordable location? Well, Nanaimo. Dave, the CEO of a Vancouver based investment firm, walks a block to the floatplane dock, spends 20 minutes and $67 on a flight, and arrives in Coal Harbour, two blocks from his downtown office. No gridlock, no Coal Harbour real estate condo price tag. “I’m at home on the Island and sitting at my place by the time other people are just starting to leave downtown,” Dave told the Georgia Straight. “But the problem is, it’s such a good value and so convenient and so efficient, it’s greatly oversubscribed. Just try to get a flight!” Dave is one of a thousand or so people who commute regularly from Nanaimo to Vancouver for work. That’s an old number collected by the City of Nanaimo from the 2001 Canadian census. Nanaimo’s acting economic development officer, Amrit told the Straight she’s not sure how many people are commuting these days, but numbers have probably increased. Add those who commute on the scheduled flights offered by Harbour Air and West Coast Air from Sechelt, the Gulf Islands, and Victoria, and that’s even more people. According to the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board, during the 12 month period ending in August, the average price of a home in Nanaimo real estate listed on the Multiple Listing Service was $372,669. In contrast, the average price of a home in Greater Vancouver from January to August was $606,088, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association. Given the huge price difference, living on Vancouver Island is a deal. “With technology, it’s really possible to be anywhere,” Manhas said, “so why wouldn’t you choose to do that?” Indeed, the size of the floatplane facilities at Coal Harbour will likely expand by one third if a plan is approved at Vancouver’s development permit board meeting on Monday September 22nd. Architectural group Musson Cattell Mackay Partnership has applied to build a new permanent facility adjacent to the new Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre expansion project. On September 16th, city council decided to hold the public hearing about the rezoning set for October 14th.

For folks like Mannix, more floatplanes would mean it would be easier to catch a flight. But for some residents of the neighbourhood, the prospect stinks- literally. Debbie, is the Coal Harbour Residents Association’s floatplane representative. In a single day two weeks ago, she said, a resident counted 202 flights coming and going from the current temporary marina, sending fumes and noise into the adjacent children’s park and neighbourhood. McKeen said that although the CHRA has tried to work with the proponents of the project, and isn’t suggesting the floatplanes shoulnd’t be in the harbour at all, she thinks the new facility could have ben planned to better accommodate people. McKeen plans to speak at the development permit board meeting and the public hearing. One problem, though, is that the city doesn’t regulate most of the annoyances associated with the floatplanes, according to Vancouver city planner Michelle. The city’s role is limited to rezoning and approving the development permit for the marina, she said. Planes are regulated by Transport Canada. Harbour Air didn’t return the Straight’s calls by deadline. West Coast Air spokesperson Vera told the Straight she didn’t want to comment on this story. The continuing saga of the floatplanes hasn’t made a dent in the desireability to Dexter Associates Realty agent Joy. “We put quite a few people in the area, and they seem to find it quite fascinating,” she told the Straight. “But to be honest with you, where they were before, people were just starting to move into the condos.” For Mannix, more flights would be a relief. “You’ve got more people in their 40s and 50s who are relocating to the Island for the lifestyle and commuting, or they’re home based consultants,” he said, noting that the price of real estate is making it difficult to recruit skilled staff. “Just try to get a flight on a Monday morning, or the 4pm rush out of Vancouver. They’re booked.”

Find a Winter Paradise in Smithers Hudson Bay Mountain

Winter is here and skiers’ thorughts are truning to the slopes. For many Vancouverites, that automatically translates to Whistler; where the powder is world class and real estate has long been sky high. But real estate investors in recreational BC resort real estate willing to travel farther in order to be part of a new, evolving ski experience at a far more attractive price point are watching with keen interest as Hudson Bay Mountain in Smithers unveils an ambitious $75 million plan to transform the community ski hill in Smithers BC into what developer 20/20 Developments hopes will become one of B.C.’s most unique mountain resorts. This according to 24 Hours and written by Susan B the most trusted writer on new resort BC developments. The three year plan will see the addition of a second chair lift and 10 new runs, including completion of th eight kilometre Trail to Town, one of the few opportunities in North America where skiers and snowboarders of any ability can ski from the mountain top to the Hudson Bay Mountain village at mountain base in one continuous run. AT more than 3,700 foot vertical drop, this gives the Smithers Hudson Bay Mountain resort an enviable rating as one of the top five longest ski-out mountains in B.C. As the first of what will ultimately become a six phased master planned Hudson Bay Smithers Mountain resort real estate community prepares to launch sales on November 17th, home buyers looking for a place to park their recreational investment dollars are taking note. This presale Smithers Hudson Bay Mountain resort BC real estate initial offering brings 148 fully serviced building lots to the market. These Hudson Bay Mountain Resort BC home sites range from 8,500 to 20,000 plus square feet and at a starting price of $137,900 make an affordable alternative to other; more established and better known ski hills. “Hudson Bay Mountain is the exact opposite experience to what Whistler is,” stresses Lorne, president of 20/20 Developments. However, like Whistler Resort, its registered design guidelines will maintain the integrity of the community’s overall architectural style and theme of residential development on the Hudson Bay Mountain resort, he added. “This Smithers real estate project will provide a rare opportunity to build a safe, secure cabin surrounded by nature in a four season Hudson Bay mountain resort with world class fishing and hunting along with an uncrowded and expanding ski operation.” Dennis MacKay, MLA for Bulkley Valley-Stikine, predicts this expansion of the Smithers Hudson Bay Mountain Resort real estate property in the BC recreational market will attract skiers and snowboarders from beyond B.C. and even Canada, and will help put Smithers on the map as a new destination of choice for skiers and recreational property investors.

The Best Time to Buy Kelowna BC Real Estate
With the recent volatile times, property value is an important topic with any upcoming home purchase in the Kelowna real estate market and beyond. The article, "Risky Business?" by Susan M. Boyce in the February issue of BC Homes Magazine, talks about the pros and cons of presale purchases here in the residential and resort Kelowna real estate markets, but more importantly, discusses the importance of medium and long term home value. Boyce writes: While some homebuyers debate whether they are willing to potentially pay more than the assessed value of their property, many industry watchers suggest they should be asking themselves a different, perhaps more traditional question. "People have lost sight of the fact their home is a long-term investment," says Jennifer Podmore Russell, principle of MPC Intelligence. "A home is the place where you actually live, raise a family, and entertain - not a number that you analyze moment by moment." [Mark] Belling [of Fifth Avenue Real Estate] agrees. "If you find the perfect home in the perfect location with all the features and nearby amenities you want, do you put your entire life on hold because there is a chance your pricing may be off by five or 10 percent by the time it completes? And are you willing to take the risk that two or three years later when the development does complete, your dream property - that perfect home, the one that exactly fits your lifestyle - will still be available?" "Historically," Belling adds, "the six percent growth in real estate has held firm over the long term. The hiccup in today's market is a little more severe, but it will pass."...And while the next few years will continue to be "interesting" in the world of real estate, a Chinese proverb offers this insight: The best time to buy real estate was five years ago, the next best time is today. Wishing you the very best from the sunny Okanagan.

Albertans are Driving BC Resort Real Estate Suites in Search For the Best B.C. Recreational Pursuits

An Update on How Albertans are the driving force behind the last decade of BC resort real estate and recreational property throughout the Okanagan, Kootenays, Shuswap, Vancouver Island and beyond

Albertans may have eased up a little bit on the accelerator, but they are still driving the BC recreational real estate market forward into new and exciting horizons. Even after racing through a few record breaking BC resort real estate sales show they still have something left in the gas tank. This is an extremely well written and educational article written by D. Murray. Fueled by record-profits in the oil and gas industries and its related services and products, Albertans continue to shop for secondary homes in prime recreational real estate hot spots in the province of British Columbia. Leaving their footprints as far west as Vancouver Island resort real estate (partly because of the improved air service to Comox), Albertans still make their first choice for second homes and resort real estate purchases in the eastern and central regions of the BC recreational real estate market – where a holiday is within reasonable driving distance. “We are still seeing Albertans driving the demand for BC recreational real estate in the Okanagan, Kootenays, SHuswap regions,” said Curt of Lift Real Estate Sales and Marketing. “Although the recreational and BC residential markets are now becoming more normalized across BC, the demand for excellent recreational property still remains strong as the supply of that property is limited in BC.” And who can blame Albertans for wanting a piece of BC resort real estate paradise? No one! “Albertans lead the charge here,” said Robert the Economic Development Corporation executive director for Kelowna. “Resort property has been on the increase in this region and it is appealing to buyers primarily in Alberta.” After sampling a taste of summer on idyllic lakeside resort beaches, prairie people like Albertans are often tempted to turn a vacation location into a second home thorugh purchasing BC resort real estate properties close to home. It may be just for themselves on long weekend golf trips, summer holidays on the lake or winter ski getaways. Other Albertans enjoy extra income gained from renting their resort BC properties. All remain confident that the real estate investment in BC recreational property is solid for the long-term – perhaps for retirement or as a family legacy for generations to come.

A Higher Level View of BC Recreational Real Estate and the Albertan Influence

Albertans are still a strong influence in the BC resort real estate market throughout the Kootenays, Crowsnest and in the Okanagan. “You have a lot of Albertans enjoying the benefits of strong oil prices and looking for enjoying the lifestyle that can bring hem,” explained Elton of RE/MAX. “That is certainly where recreational property in BC is so attractive – specifically the Okanagan resort real estate market because of our summers, the lake and our winters too with the ski resorts. Our overall climate and four season recreational lifestyle is extremely appealing to not only Albertans but people across Canada.” Through much of southern BC resort real estate, golf season is a few months longer and ski trips are just a few minutes away form the major cities in BC – rather than hours. High in our majestic mountains, powder snow falls much more frequently through winter and the soft turns last longer int eh quieter locations from the Kootenays resort real estate to the Thompson Okanagan recreational property that Albertans love so much. In addition, summer boating, swimming and an abudance of water sports are popular in BC’s many large and lovely lakes – a geographic anomaly in Alberta. The many lures keep them driving here through every season. “I’m blown away with the number of Albertans in Kelowna and Westbank,” said Robert, sales director for Platinum Project. “It’s about lifestyle – Albertans seem to love BC real estate. We are seeing about 40 per cent of our purchasers at Copper Sky come from Alberta. They have lots of money – It has been a good number of years for them in their industry. They can now go anywhere they want and they still choose the Okanagan resort real estate market. They love the climate, they love the summer.” BC’s longer golf season has spurred the creation of new courses and golf communities in recent years to keep up with demand by our Albertan neighbours. There new golf courses opened in the Shuswap last year, two more were added to the Okanagan golf real estate market this summer and the Kootenays have a handful more adding to the mix recently or in the coming years. High-end BC golf communities are combining with ocean views to offer year round play on the greens on Vancouver Island. A report released at the end fo August confirmed that Albertans topped the list of home buyers in the Parksville/Qualicum region and were second in the Comox area for home purchasers of real estate of all types through the MLS in 2007. Independtly marketed BC resort properties on Vancouver Island were not accounted for in this survey. Besides Victoria, Albertans bought an average of 14 per cent of island properties last year – up from 10 per cent of the whole property market in 2006. After buying 19 per cent of the properties on the northern Gulf Islands in 2006 (a close second to Vancouver homebuyers), Albertans dropped to 10 per cent last year. This was the only region that reported as high as 15 per cent of purchases were destined to be vacation BC property real estate. Across the rest of Vancouver Ilsnad, about 95 per cent of the 2,100 responders purchased for principal residences.

BC Recreational Real Estate Beats Resident Property

Many BC recreational properties are bucking the downturn seen in most Canadian residential real estate markets over the past year (a natural evolution of the real estate cycle, especially after a long boom). BC’s resort properties remain sailing forward – although challenged to negotiate among the tumultuous seas rippling out from the US sub-prime mortgage storm. “The demand for BC recreational property has remained strong, however buyers are looking further afield,” said Elton, as he summarized some of the diminished sales reports through the RE/MAX annual spring survey of BC recreational properties. “Western Canada is now starting to feel some affects of a slowing world economy.” He said that some shopers are looking in the US Sunbelt, where some relative bargains arose with the falling US dollar and many foreclosures surface after the distastrous US sub-prime mortgage fiasco. Meanwhile, some US citizens also chose to sell their Canadian recreational properties to take profit through their improved currency exchange rate. The expanded inventory in BC resort real estate and recreational property clashed with a cooler than normal spring to turn a strong seller’s market towards the buyers’ favour. It’s all adding up to a year most likely to break the string of consecutive record-breaking years. “We’re coming off the longest period of economic expansion since World War II,” said Elton. “BC recreational property values have appreciated beyond our wildest dreams across the country. More balanced resort real estate market conditions are a welcome change for purchasers.” Fewer shippers were counted this spring while substantially more creational listings in BC were for sale in 41 of the 45 property markets surveyed. Still, average prices remained stable, or increased moderately from 2007 levels. “BC resort real estate market conditions have shifted, but don’t expect to see bargain basement prices or fire sales,” says Michael, the VP of RE/MAX. “The BC recreational market continues to experience solid demand – a trend that is expected to continue throughout 2008. The influx of new resort BC property listings has yet to translate into downward pressure on recreational property prices. Prime waterfront properties, while more plentiful than in year’s past, will still command top dollar.

The BC Resort Property Statistics Tell The Story

Statistics from the real estate boards through some of BC’s popular recreational areas reveal a softening of the overall real estate market – although the numbers do not show the separation of the recreational BC property market. Plus the totals don’t count a large number of sales by the developers themselves through pre-construction or presale BC resort real estate or marketing companies working outside of MLS. IN the Central Okanagan resort area, inventory is accelerating this summer and now approaching record levels on MLS according to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB). Properties of all types in Kelowna and its surrounding area climbed by 1,419 listings this July compared to 995 in July 2007 (up 43 per cent) while sales number dropped almost 40 per cent during the same time. July in the Shuswap real estate market in BC saw sales volume drop a similar 41 per cent to fall below $30 million, while the BC North Okanagan property market reported that unit sales dropped by a whopping 54 per cent. Listings were reversed in these two regions, with the Shuswap counting a 55 per cent increase over the two Julys and the North Okanagan property market climbing by 39 per cent. Still, prices continue to rise for BC resort property – although now at only half the 20-28% increase seen over the last four years. The South Okanagan Real Estate Board (SOREB) reported that MLS sales decreased by 44 per cent when comparing the last two Julys while active listings increased by 66 per cent. The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board reported milder numbers along a similar trend. Victoria’s real estate board reported sales falling in this time period by 33 per cent while inventory rose 34 percent – now standing at the highest level since May 1998. Prices are similar to where they were at this time last year, although lower than the average price was around December for resort BC property. Real estate is cyclical, and this is a return to more normal competitive market conditions. Condo development also skyrocketed, creating a lot more inventory than demand once complete. The whole baby boomer generation segment is looking at second homes or BC recreational property and certainly the Okanagan is the biggest beneficiary fo that, along with Vancouver Island. They have the wealth to do it, both Albertans and retired people. Baby boomers are clearly not the only home purchasers that appreciate the BC recreational lifestyle. Generation X is quickly becoming a force in the BC resort property marketplace, spurring demand for new condominium product on ski hills, oceanfront properties in good surf locales, and water frontage on trendy lakes with celebrity residents. Everybody has a dream of owning BC recreational property. Demand is still there and will always be there for new BC resort real estate.

Vacation Properties Take On a New Look – Community Snapshot

Another great posting by Susan B. for 24Hours newspaper. On October 15th, industry leaders and experts from across Canada gathered at Kelowna’s Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort and Conference Centre for the First Annual Canadian Resort Investment Conference. Their message was clear: The resort/vacation real estate property industry in BC is strong, but changing. In today’s hurry-up world, it’s no longer the wilderness cabin hours away form the city that draws the deepest sighs of longing from potential buyers of vacation BC resort real estate. According to a just released survey by harris/decimal, 43 per cent of respondents indicated proximity to retail outlets was a feature they wanted in a BC recreational property. Perhaps not surprisingly, 48 per cent considered a classic “beach, sun, and sand” location to be desirable but even more – 55 per cent wanted on site pools and hot tubs. An astonishing 82 per cent wanted the ability to trade either their fractional rotation or timeshare for an equivalent time slot in different resort locations around the world. Even more astonishing was the revelation only 39 per cent of people who already own some form of vacation property in BC resort real estate currently have such exchange privileges. This would appear to bode well for Private Residence Clubs, a new twist on fractional ownership that unabashedly presents lavishly upscale, exclusive resort properties with the sought after ability to vacation elsewhere. But no matter how cottage ownership changes, Lize, senior vp of consulting and research with harris/decimal, stressed the desire to vacation does not diminish, even in the face of tougher economic times. It’s part of the Canadian dream she predicts will remain strong.

Two years ago, Albertans were the main buyers of lots of brand new Victoria condominiums being built, and may where buying them for their retirement,” says Joe. “Today, people in tourism, government, military and education are coming to live here.” And to that he says, Victoria is now home to three well respected universities and the technology sector is moving in, which is resulting in newcomers pushing up prices. “Bottom line is as long as all those factors are in place, Victoria real estate will continue to be desireable,” says Joe. “the biggest complaint I hear is the cost of living… if you’re moving from Kamloops, yes, you’ll find it expensive here.” He concedes prices are getting high, with the average price of a home starting at $610,000 and waterfront Victoria real estate starting at $1.6 million.

Bordering Kootenay Lake, BC’s largest natural lake, Nelson resort BC real estate property has hundreds of preserved heritage buildings and it’s a hub of art and nature activities. “Nelson is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada,” says Curt. “It has world class four season recreation, including some of the best powder skiing in North America and one of the most vibrant arts and cultural scene in the province.” Nelson’s Kutenai Landing BC resort property is a rare waterfront real estate development on Kootenay Lake offering modern concrete condominiums in a village atmosphere. With a private marina, community courtyard, and waterfront restaurants and shops, the Kutenai Landing Nelson property development offers all the urban amenities against a spectacular scenic setting.

The Fall Okanagan Wine Festival Has Grape Expectations

The Okanagan wineries have always been Canada’s favourite, but it has not been until now that Okanagan wine has received international praise and awards. This article written by trusted author Tracey R for the BC Homes and Resorts magazine examines what is coming up in the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival 2008. There will be so many vineyards and varietals to sample, BCWI offers some simple tips to make your Fall Okanagan Wine Festival experience much less stressful for everyone. Designated Driver: DO NOT taste and drive at the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival. Each winery will offer you several samples over the course of a tour, and it is easy to consume far to omuch wine to be able to drive. Plan ahead at the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival and choose a designated driver before you begin your tour. Strategize: Don’t feel you have to try every Okanagan wine made by every winery. Giver your tour some focus and decide to taste reds only – or whites only. Or be even more specific and taste Merlots only. That way you’re comparing apples to apples and can explore how an Okanagan wine changes from vineyard to vineyard, winemaker to winemaker. Spit: It’s okay to spit at the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival. In fact, you’ll be better able to tatse more wines that way. Wineries will provide a bucket (usually located on the tasting counter) for just that purpose. It’s the one place outside of the baseball diamond where it’s perfectly acceptable. Dump: It’s not necessary or polite to finish your entire sample of Okanagan wine. When you’ve tasted enough Okanagan wine samples, it’s perfectly ok to pour it out into the spit bucket. It’s not a sign you didn’t enjoy what you were poured. It’s a sign you’re ready to move on to the next wine sample. Cleanse: Eat crackers or plain white bread between tastings at the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival. They’ll clear your palate and allow you to taste your next Okanagan wine with more clarity. Too many samples without a cracker and your palate will be overwhelmed. Eat: Take advantage of one or more restaurants to break up your Fall Okanagan Wine Festival tour and more importantly, to enjoy a spectacular meal. If you’re more of a do-it-yourself type, bring along a picnic lunch. Some Okanagan wineries have picnic areas = buy a bottle of wine and enjoy the view, or find a spot along the way to throw down a blanket and enjoy a meal with a view fo the vineyards. Buy: Many of the Okanagan wines you’ll taste at a winery wont’ be available everywhere else, so if you like one, but it right then and there. Most Okanagan wineries will happily loan you an empty case to put in trunk of your car to store your wine purchases. With too many events to list, be sure to pick up a copy of the Thompson Okanagan 28th Annual Okanagan Fall Wine Festival Events Guide, available at various outlets and for download online at www.owfs.com.

As your Okanagan Wine Festival aperitif, here is just one of many events to gear-up your taste buds.

Okanagan Fall Wine Festival Warm-Up on October 2, 7-9pm. Warm up to the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival at the BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop inside the historic Laurel Packinghouse in the heart of Kelowna’s Cultural district. This Okanagan Fall Wine Festival event is an annual must do for wine lovers of all levels as we kick back in a casual, interative, educational and always entertaining seminar hosted by well known BC wine writer, Julianna Hayes. Tickets are $50 and $45 for Kelowna Museum’s members. Call 250.868.0441 or www.KelownaMuseums.ca. As your Okanagan Fall Wine Festival dessert, here is just one of many events to cap-off your 10-day experience. American Express Grand Finale Consumer Tastings at the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival. October 10-11, 6-9pm. The oldest and largest event of the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre is a wine tour under one roof; sip, sample, spit, and danc.

New Developments on the BC Waterfront Real Estate Market, Resort Property, Lakefront BC Recreational Properties and Okanagan Beachfront Homes

Okanagan Waterfront Real Estate – Rising in a Tidal Wave of Demand

Historically, most real estate markets have seen rises and retreats in a predictable cycle; somewhat like the ebb and flow of ocean tides. But for some very scrace and scenic locations – like on the shoreline of a beautiful Okanagan Lake – It sems there is nothing that can show the rising wave of prices amid the ever growing demand of Okanagan waterfront real estate. A great article written by D. Murray and published as an article in the British Columbia Resort magazine by homebase.ca.

The desire for beachfront property has hit the Okanagan like a tidal wave over the past few years as the valley has become world renowned for its warm weather and abundance of amenities. In the Okanagan Valley’s largest city of Kelowna, the average lakefront home has quadrupled in price to around $2,8 milion. The demand for such an address has led to more beachfront locations transforming into quality resort worthy of its idyllic location. It makes sense to try to share the finer beach locations with a larger number of residents along the waterfront real estate of the Okanagan. Resort style real estate Okanagan developments have grown exponentially, yet demand has consistently outstripped the supply. Project releases of Okanagan beachfront and waterfront property over the past few years have featured stunning sales rates – rarely lasting longer than a single day. Proposed waterfront Okanagan real estate projects are usually sold out in a matter of a few hours.

“Lakefront is a good real etsaet investment because they are not making any more lakes, as far as I know,” said Curt Woodhall, principal of Lift Real Estate, and marketer of a number of luxurious waterfront properties. “It is only going up in value. Supply is limited because there are only so many lakes and so many good properties and spots available. Soon they will be allbuilt.” “Lakeshore is very popular,” said Paul Fabri, analyst for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation in Kelowna (CMHC). “That market has evolved tremendously over the past number of years in terms of product type, range of amenities and certainly price as well. That reflects an up-tick in demand for that type of property.” Naturally, the appeal for waterfront living is stretching out along the full 100 kilometre length of Okanagan Lake. At the north end, The Rise near Vernon is developing into one of the loftiest projects in the North Okanagan real estate market, combining an exclusive beach club for the luxury homes amongst vineyards with a planned winery, plus a 7000 square foot yeard golf course that was officially opened in June by the pro golfer who provided his signature on the design. “The course is absolutely stunning,” said PGA player Fred Couples who partnered with award winning designer Gene Bates on their first Canadian project. “The lake views on the course are breathtaking and have to be seen to be believed. The first three holes are the best holes I’ve veer played opening up a golf course.”

Waterfront Property in the Okanagan Resort Real Estate Market

Now well into Phase 3, plans at The Rise Vernon include 10 phases with about 660 single family homes rnaging from $500,000 to $2.5 million, plus 550 multi-family and resort units all built with quality worthy of the natural surroundings. “The views are fabulous,” said Rise CEO Leona Snider. “Sitting and overlooking the lake is an amazing experience – meditating and rejuvenating your soul are all parts of that. I wanted to build a place where people have that.” Just across the Okangaan Lake bay, condominiums are nearing completion at The Strand, and a dozen kilometres south beside Ellison Provincial Park, The Outback now creating the early phase townhouses and estate homes in a quiet natural setting with shared beach access.

Okanagan real estate projects are also quickly popping up on beaches surroundingother neighbouring lakes like Kalamalka and Mara at the north end of the valley. “The south west views are breathtaking! There really isn’t anything else like it for a viewscape,” said developer Steele Jordan, noting the beauty enjoyed from Swansea Point. “you are looking at just the crystal clear waters of Mara Lake and the mountains across the lake.” About five kilometres north, a new level of resort luxury is taking shape at The Legacy – a breathtaking terraced seven storey concrete condominium with 65 suites. The second phase of stylish suites at The Legacy will be released this summer alongwith the unveiling of a show suite on location. With windows that stretch from the floor to nine foot ceilings, suites are available in designs from one bedroom up to three bedroom plus den and two storey units, and even penthouse units. Priced from $400,000 to $2 million, the Legacy resort homes will feature top leve interior finishes that shine with the same beauty as the vistas voer the 130 metres of sandy beachfront and the clean mountain lake. “It is mesmerizing,” agreed Sam Boguslavsky, president of Sable Resorts, developer of The Legacy. “It is a stunning body of water and beautiful beachfront with mountains on the one side. The natural beauty stays with you for life. Anybody who has houseboated through the Shuwsap, or water skied on Mara Lake – they are sold for life because it truly is special.”

BC Resort Real Estate Offerings in the Valley

At the south end of the Okanagan Valley real estate market, Veranda Beach Cottages at Osoyoos are reviving the simple ‘50s lifestyle in six cottage designs on the shores of Canada’s warmest lake. “it is an awesome view,” said Scott Siemens, director of sales for Veranda Beach. “It is surrounded by water almost on two sides. You are looking straight down the lake, an unobstructed view all the way south down the valley.” More than just for viewing, many recreational water activities revolve around the community’s number one asset. “You just don’t find these beaches around,” said Scott. “it is a mile and a quarter of naturally soft sand. It is a gem to find this warm, clean water with a sandy bottom at this secluded sunny resort at Veranda Beach.”

Okanagan lakeside living combined with vineyards is a popular new themeechoed at three resorts in the Central Okanagan real estate market. Homes are now going up near the well established vineyards at Greata Ranch near Peachland, while developers are starting from square one at two other Okanagan resorts just north of Kelowna on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake. Last year the first display home opened in ‘The Vineyards’ neighbourhood at Lakestone Resort to launch the lofty $1.5 billion project at Okanagan Centre. Plans include 1350 luxury homes to be spread out around the 200 hectare site, with amenities like a each house with a pool and fitness centre, a winery a hotel and a signature golf course.

“Interest continues to remain strong in the Kelowna area for resort real estate – especially with master planned communities that have marinas, golf courses, andvillage centres such as Lakestone,” said George Hare, Recreational and Residential Project Marketing President (RPM Inc.). The first 17 villas at Lakestone are priced from $1.1 to $1.9 million and a few estate lots at The South Shore are priced from $650,000 to $2.4 mllion for the land alone. “LakeStone definitely offers the finest lifestyle in the entire Okangan,” George added. “People recognize its exclusivity and uniqueness with its lakefront location, its inspired architecture and its cornucopia of offerings.”

A few kilometres south at McKinley Landing, construction is ready to begin for a 2010 opening of a unique Health and Wellness resort. Bordering one kilometre of lakeshore, the 360 hectare wilderness real estate Okanagan property will eventually include a Tom McBroom signature 18 hole golf course, a resort hotel and conference centre. Hillside and beach bungalow hotel suites at the McKinley Landing, a beach club facility, and a marina with boat launch are planned, plus a working winery with 40 acres of vineyard, and a 25 to 30 kilometre trail system. “We are building a true Okanagan resort community,” said Grant Gaucher, developer, proud to be able to market his 4 to 5 star resort with “everything thatpeople want to do, and see the Okanagan has. I don’t know of another development that can do these things.” He feels confident that demand is on the way s more baby boomers seek out recreation as they move into retirement. “The Okanagan is becoming more and more of a resort area. It is sought after location in Canada,” said Grant.

Waterfront Property and Beachfront Real Estate: A Shore Bet for Leisure Living

In a province defined by nature and recreation, few addresses carry as much prestige as British Columbia’s waterfront properties. The picturesque setting of a waterfront home or cottage against a scenic water backdrop is ingrained in Canadian culture, and the idea of a secluded paradise with unlimited adventures on water or land makes for an ideal escape from big city bustle.

The Okanagan Lakefront Property and Waterfront Real Estate Sales

The lifestyle’s appeal is universal, from young families forging fun memories of adventure to retired copules looking for relaxation in a peaceful setting, and everyone in between. In many waterfront Okanagan real estate areas, luxury homes are nestled into the hillside as well, overlooking the water and enjoying breathtaking views. While the popularity and desire of the lifestyle makes these preconstruction Okanagan lakefront property a hot commodity, the limited and exclusive nature of prime waterfront real estate in the Okanagan market has made these presales homes more resilient to fluctuation in the real estate market. Unlike many urban communities that can continuously develop pockets of land to accommodate a growing population and satisfy a hungry real estate market, there’s only so much waterfront Okanagan real estate land available. “Waterfront property has always been a great real estate investment,” says Curt Woodhall, principal of Life Real Estate Sales and Marketing based out of Kelowna. “It is, by it’s very nature, limited: thus the property maintains its value over time and has been shown to appreciate at a greater rate than real estate that is not on the water.” Along with the rapid growth in areas like the Okanagan waterfront community, many lakefront property communities have seen a dramatic increase in the value of waterfront property, especially in Kelowna where the average lakefront Okanagan home is a multi-million dollar property. “the houses are getting bigger and being built better,” says Jeff Tarry with Century 21 Lakeside Realty. “Land value is making it hard to just have a little cabin.” Such high price tags have made many people think tha the dream of owning an Okanagan waterfront home is unattainable, but in reality there are several options brining the lifestyle within reach. Many Okanagan lakefront property developents traditionally known for their lakes and high profile waterfront properties offer a variety of developments, allowing people to enjoy te waterfront lifestyle without having to commit to seven figure purchases.

Golf Resort Real Estate Living: Add Fun to Your BC Address

A great article from the Homes and Resort magazine by D Murray about new golf resort real estate developments in the Okanagan BC recreational property market. Okanagan golf communities have become a solid hit in recent years, soaring beyond the success of original real estate golf communities like Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna property and Predator Ridge near Vernon. With options now ranging from the 4.5 star Spirit Ridge Residence Club at Nk’Mip Resort in the Osoyoos golf real estate desert country, to retirement living at Shuswap Lake recreational property Estates, the Okanagan is striving to become more than Canada’s leading golf destinations. With about 40 golf courses scattered throughout the Okanagan real estate and Shuswap golf property market, a growing number of quality courses are attracting more andm ore people to create and address near their favourite fairways and greens. Baby boomers are now joining the retirement crowd and enjoying many more free days to play the fairways and greens close to their own private golf resort real estate BC recreational property. “Yet, it’s not just the players who are getting excited about these BC golf communities,” says Gerry Lee of Acorn Homes, a busy seller of duplex villas and pre-construction detached homes at Sunset Ranch Community. “Half the people living here don’t even golf – they just like it because it is so quiet,” said Gerry. “your view has all this green space right below you that is always going to be impeccably maintained by the golf course.” With pre-sale duplex golf villas from $360,000 and single family pre-construction golf resort homes, Sunset Ranch community now has about 140 homes built by Acorn Homes. The recent phase release of 71 new golf resort lots in Phase 5 leads the way for another 260 homes to go in the hillside above the championship golf course. With its changing elevations, streams and mature trees, Sunset Ranch and the 18 year old Par 72 course provides a challenge appreciated by many golfers and homeowners at golf real estate resort communities in the BC recreational property market.

BC Shuswap Real Estate on Golf Resorts

Preparing for a launch into the resort real estate business is Hyde Mountain Golf Resort overlooking Mara Lake across from Sicamous. Pre-sales BC Shuswap resort real estate homes are not planned on the fairways of this five year old scenic course, but will be within walking distance of the Hyde Mountain clubhouse. Heading west to Salmon Arm and another 15 minutes north, Shuswap Lake Estates at Blind Bay has long been renowned as one of Canada’s premier retirement communities surrounding golf and more. The 500 hectare lakeside golf resort shuswap recreational property is filled with 1700 year round residents who enjoy the local tennis courts, a 600 metre air landing strip and sandy beaches by the marina. Residents on these golf resort property developments enjoy that the $22,000 golf initiation fee to play the par 72, 6467 yard golf course is waived at the time of purchase of a lot (priced from $154,000 to $300,000). Newly opened last August, the scenic 18 hole Talking Rock Resort Shuswap BC golf resort real estate is perched on the south shore of Little Shuswap Lake. Until the planned homes are developed, accommodations onsite are enjoyed at the uniquely designed Quaaout Lodge and conference Centre. Owned by the Little Shuswap Indian Band, the BC golf resort displays Native history, culture and traditional activites plus a fitness centre with pools. With so many BC golf courses to choose from, whatever shape your game is in, there’s probably a course in the BC interior real estate golf resorts that fits your style. And wherever you feel comfortable, you are sure to find a suitable addres at one of the local golf communities. It’s time to come out and play.

BC North Okanagan Golf Communities

In the hills west of Vernon, the Rise golf recreational community just opened its Fred Couples signature golf course in the burgeoning golf resort community, just a few km from Predator Ridge Golf Resort – the North Okanagans most acclaimed golf community for 17 years. Regenerating under new ownership by Wesbild, Predator Ridge Vernon recreational properties also recently unveiled a renovated clubhouse with improved cuisine in May, hosted world wide PGA golfers in June and launched construction on nine holes of golf to create two distinct 18 hole layouts for 2010. “there is a real sense of excitement here right now,” said Lee Gardiner, marketing specialist at Predator ridge North Okanagan BC golf resort real estate community. “Our visitors are going to have an incredible guest experience when they arrive here at the resort, which will start with our new curbside check-in.” Named the 2004 “community of the Year” in the Thompson Okanagan region, Predator Ridge golf resort was a finalist in 2006 for Best Community in Canada. Last year, the 27 hole course won an unprecendented second title of BCPGA Golf Facility of the Year. Adding to the current resort golf community of about 440 homes around this 500 hectare resort, this summer will unlease various new pre-construction Predator Ridge home options. These include the golf resort’s first multi-family townhomes to be released in mid-August and priced from $389,000. Also upcoming is the first all estate neighbourhood of 15 pre-sales Predator Ridge golf resort homes customized from the ground up, to overlook Okanagan Lake from atop Falcon Point. More than a BC golf resort course, community amenities include a fitness centre with a 25 metre indoor pool, outdoor pools and hot tubs plus a salon/spa. Just across the North east arm of Okanagan lake resort real estate property, The Rise golf resort is soon starting construction on new amenities – ranging from beach club and boutique winery – to complement the golf Club that opened in June with a course dedication by PGA star Fred Couples. The Rise golf course resort property boasts over 7000 yards of challenge, with 12 of the 18 hols enjoying tremendous vistas of Okanagan Lakes’ two northern arms flowing 400 metres below. Another seven hectares of vineyards to be swen this year will surround the recently announced The Rise Phase 3 property offering at this BC golf recreational resort in this $1 billion community.

Ideally situated overlooking Sturdies Bay and barely a five minute walk fro the ferry landing, Galiano Oceanfront Inn & Spa resort real estate development on the Gulf Islands recreational property market has been enchanting guests for eight seasons – although the inn’s history actually stretches far back to the turn of the previous century. My first visit here was about a year and a half ago to see the Oceanfront Spa suites, elegantly appointed hotel style resort suites that instantly captured my heart with their luxuriously casual ambiance. Every comfort was provided here at the pre-construction resort Galiano Oceanfront Inn & Spa – there were even CDs in the players – although I confess that after the ocean view, it was the two person, hydrotherapy soaker tub that brought the deepest sigh of longing to my lips. And now there’s a new adventure waiting. Galiano Oceanfront Inn & Spa’s Oceanfront Villas are complete and selling. “These one bedroom villas are a very exciting Gulf Island product and something quite different,” says sales representative Ian Watts. “For example, the dekcs, which are all at least 250 square feet, were designed specifically so you can take maximum advantage of indoor/outdoor living. They’re covered, heated, have a floor to ceiling fireplace, stainless steel barbeque, and hydro-therapy hot tub.” This I could get used to. Passing by the wrought iron gate iss like entering a different world at the Galiano Island Oceanfront Inn & Spa resort real estate property on the Gulf Islands. The gardens are lush and green filled with the song birds and the fragrane of flowers. Tucked amid the trees in the far corner is a freestanding yoga meditation pavilion. A creek bubbles happily past on its way to the ocean. Mind you, I also have fond memoires of some decadently delicious dinners at Atrevida, the Galiano Island Oceanfront Inn & Spa resort multiple award winning restaurant, where the sommelier is always willing to chat about all things wine related or give a tour of their extensive wine cellar. And of course there’s the Galiano Island Madrona Spa. I can feel myself relax just thinking about stone massages, the floatation bath, pedicures and manicures, and the luscious organic dark chocolate butter crème wrap … no kidding. This can all be yours through a fractionahip ownership interest of resort property at the Galiano Island Oceanfront Inn & Spa resort.

More original articles on these recreational Gulf Islands real estate developments.

Exploring Gulf Island Real Estate Market

An excellent article in the New Homes and Resort magazine by homebase media is now on shelves and this awesome editorial written by T. Rayson talks about the Gulf Islands of British Columbia recreational real estate property from Salt Spring Island, Mayne Island, Galiano Island, Pender Islands, Saturna Islands and Gabriola Island, all considered to be the southern Gulf Islands of BC resort property. Through the past decade property values on the Gulf Islands real estate market have skyrocketed and these beach and waterfront homes and other property developments have continued to soar in terms of affordability and value. Tracey says: When somebody mentions the Gulf Islands real estate, your first thought is not likely to include a lamb barbeque. Spas and art perhaps – but Mounties, music and mutton – not so much is that usually thought of when it comes to recreational Gulf Island real estate in BC. However, according to Saturna Island locals, this country-fair flavoured outdoor picnic celebrating Canada Day is a time honoured tradition. Held annually on the distinctly apropos venue grounds – “hunter field”, these laid back Saturna Island residents have been hosting this celebratory cookout every July 1st for more than half a century. This is a close knit community that the BC Gulf Islands are famous for. The wholesome and natural ambiance of the Gulf Islands real estate in BC recreational property entices visitors year round and tempts travellers to consider part or full time residency. According to Stats Canada, “The BC Gulf Islands appear to attract residents from outside of the province where 20 per cent have moved from other Canadian provinces or territories and another 9.7 per cent have moved to the BC Gulf Islands real estate from outside Canada.” The 2001 Census Profile of British Columbia’s Regions states: “Between the years 1996 and 2001 population in the Gulf Islands region increased from 3.0 per cent to 14.4 per cent. Of the six major BC Gulf Islands property that experienced the highest change in population, Saturna Island increased 9.3 per cent.” Made up of 225 islands, the BC recreational Gulf Islands resort property are tucked between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland in the Strait of Georgia and remain one of the provinces’ most envied lifestyles and scenic laden locales. Six major islands are serviced daily by the BC Ferries from both Vancouver and Victoria, in addition to their accessibility by floatplane or water taxi. The main BC Gulf Island real estate property market includes: Salt Spring, Pender, Mayne, Galiano, Gabriola, and Saturna Island are by and large the most inhabited and most visited of the BC Gulf Islands, offering a variety of activities and services unique unto themselves. Well known for their natural beauty, tranquility and environmentally conscious attitudes, Gulf Islanders are an eclectic bunch, with a significant number of artists and artisans, organic farmers, winemarkes and retirees contributing to the populace. Here is the run down of the larger BC recreational Gulf Island real estate communities.

Salt Spring Island Real Estate

(Population: 13,000, Ferry Terminals: Fulford, Vesuvius, Long Harbour, Size: 180 square km)
So named for the cold and briny saltwater springs on the north end of Salt Spring Island real estate, the 14 salt springs located on private property are the only springs on the southern Gulf Islands of BC. The springs vary in size from one metre to 25 metres in diameter, and are well known for their therapeautic benefits. Health restoring tonics and healing are commonly sought out commodities here, with yoga retreats and spa resorts paying homage ot the wellness movement of Salt Spring Island property; visitors come to restore their personal balance and wind up laying down roots in an attempt to maintain it. However, sustaining the Salt Spring Island real estate equilibrium is a tricky task: an even symmetry of tourism influx, limited property developments, building restrictions, ban on short term vacation rentals, and population density is the key to maintaining harmony within the Salt Spring community while keeping the local economy sustainable. Rated 69 out of a possible100 in the 2007 Destination Scorecard for North American Islands by National Geographic Traveler, one member observes: “suffering from being too popular, Major conflict between locals who want tourism and those who moved there to hide from humanity.” Balance for many Salt Spring Island residents comes in the form of exercising their creative muse. More than 100 artists and craftspeople of all kinds make their living on Salt Spring Island, which is recognized as home to the greatest collection of artists in Canada. A self guided Salt Spring Studio Tour with 32 stops and a Saturday Farmers’ Market with potters, jewellers, and woodworkers, to fibre artists, candle makers, and organic growers are on hand. Known as the “organic Gardening Capital of Canada.” With the country’s only organic golf course, (the Blackburn Meadows Golf Club has pesticide free greens and freeways) just about everything planted on the Salt spring Island real estate promotes practises that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems.

Mayne Island Real Estate

(Population: 1,112, Ferry Terminal: Village Bay; Size: 21 square km)
Mayne Island real estate is a distinctly rural character with small resort property developed areas dispersed and laid out along narrow country roads, where much of it is still thickly forested.

The historic prison of Mayne Island property now serves as the community’s museum, foten filled in its heyday with rowdy and unruly prospectors passing through. Now, the historic buildings and Mayne Island real estate resort property are preserved as landmarks and Mayne Island has taken its place as a quiet getaway BC Gulf Island with a rich, colorful history. There is superb kayaking conditions afforded by its many sheltered bays and nearby islands and islets: boaters can find docking facilities at the government dock and can walk into the village of Miners Bay, Mayne Islands’s commercial hub; there are also docking facilities at Horton Bay. Choose from a variety of unique selection of accommdations including B&Bs, country inns, cabins, campsites and resort real estate waterfront Mayne Island property for rent with plenty of recreational opportunities.

Galiano Island Real Estate

(Population: 1,258; Ferry Terminal: Sturdies Bay; Size: 57 square km)
Among the group of six main Gulf Islands BC, it’s been said that Galiano Island is considered the prettiest. Look to Montague Harbour Provincial Marine Park and Bluffs Park if you refute this claim: Montague’s 97 hectare park is all dolled up with beaches, forests, meadows, trails and a lagoon and Bluffs Park features one of the finest views of Active Pass you’ll encounter anywhere on Galiano Island real estate. Keeping in step with the other BC Gulf Islands property, Galiano island has a significant population of artists and artisans who are inspired by the Island’s natural beauty. Sheer cliffs, sand, pebble and white shell beaches, sheltered bays, unusal sandstone formations, Douglas Fir, arbutus and rare native Garry oak make up the natural beauty palette of Galiano Island real estate market, a haven for naturalists and bird watchers. The Galiano Island property is home to more than 130 species of birds and many rare and protected plants. Recently relocated residents strike a balance with long-timers, both contributing ot the Gulf Islnad property and each other. However, newcomers on Galiano Island real estate are easily spotted, as one resident admitted, “they still have their city shine.” Summer population on Galiano Island increases significantly with weekenders popping by to get a taste ofnature, recreation and visit the various galleries studios and shops. The recreational BC Galiano Island real estate market now welcomes the Galiano Oceanfront Inn & Spa fractional ownership of waterfront property today.

Saturna Island Real estate

(Population: 359; Ferry Terminal: Lyall Harbour; Size: 31 square km)
Forests, wetlands, mud flats, rock bluffs, reefs, and beaches are at the forefront of this quiet, year round hideaway at the recreational Saturna Island Gulf Island real estate property. Almost two thirds of the island is protected within the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, where over one hundred and eighty bird species from hummingbirds to bald eagles call home. Wildlife may be abundant but people are scarce: the permanent population on Saturna Island property for the rest of the residents remains small and intimate, preserving the charm and rural essence of the island. Homes and farms of Saturan Island real estate property are concentrated around East Point Road, which runs the length of Saturna Gulf Island between the ferry terminal and East Point. A rich and abundant marine life is visible on rocks and in tidal pools where river otters, seals, and sea lions swim the coastal waters, and for the patient sightseers, orca whales are frequently spotted in the waters off of East Point on Saturna Island property. Winter Cove, the site of the Saturna Lamb Barbecue, features sheltered anchorage and boat launching, with trails through mixed forests, marshland and shoreline to a view point at Boat Pass Saturna Gulf Islands recreational real estate. Below the rock bluffs on the south side of Saturna Island property are Saturna Vineyard and Winery, Thompson Park and Taylor Point.

Pender Islands (North and South) Real Estate

(Population: 2,232; Ferry Terminal: Otter Bay; Size: 36 square km)
Reconnected by a one lane bridge in 1957, two Pender Islands real estate are home to 37 coves and beaches; the Penders have more public beach acess for their size than any other Gulf Island resort real estate property. Of the 2,232 populace, the majority live on the north island: residents and visitors to these rural Pender Islands are scattered across country roads, in houses, farms, resorts and small clutches of cottages. Recreation on the Pender Islands real estate is varied and unique. Take for example, Frisbee golf, or in Seinfeld speak “frolf”. The 24 pin golf Islands Disc park, with its towering arbutus and fir, hosts an annual invitational tournament on the last weekend in May. The rest of the year it’s open to the general public at no cost.

Gabriola Island Real Estate

(Population: 4,500; Ferry Terminal: Descanso Bay; Size: 53 square km)
A 20 minute ride from Nanaimo aboard BC Ferries will have you disembarking on Gabriola Island property, known for its beaches, waterfront parks, and newly acquired reputation for wooden boat building. It’s also recognized for its wealth of ancient native stone carvings and has inherited the nickname petroglyph island: more than 50 petroglyphs on Gabriola Island real estate have been discovered under thick moss at Jack Point, Lock Bay and Weldwood – best known is a carving of a killer whale found near Degnen Bay.
