SALT SPRING ISLAND ISLANDS REAL ESTATE WINTER 2014 I 1

Did you know?

The mls system is geographic. A Salt Spring listing is geographically

placed in the Salt Spring category. A realtor uses a Board affiliation as the

portal to place a listing on the mls system. Mayne appears in Mayne segment,

Pender in Pender category, Salt Spring under Salt Spring, & so on.

Did you know? The Southern Gulf Islands (Galiano, Mayne, Saturna,

Penders, Salt Spring, Thetis, Gabriola) are located in a Board “grey area”. These islands are in a region with

overlap between three Boards: Vancouver, Victoria, Vancouver Island. The mls itself is geographic. In a “grey region”, a realtor can choose Board affiliation for the input

portal onto the mls. Galiano, Mayne, Saturna are mainly Vancouver Board portals. Salt Spring & Penders use

either Vancouver or Victoria boards as input portals onto the mls. Thetis & Gabriola are mainly a Vancouver Island board portal option. Thus, if a buyer does a search only through an individual realtor’s board affiliation, they will not find an overall Gulf Islands listing picture. Buyers do need to keep to the geographic broad mls, to discover all

listings, on all the Southern Gulf Islands, without any limit.

2 I ISLANDS REAL ESTATE WINTER 2014 SALT SPRING ISLAND

Did you know? The Southern Gulf Islands are not municipalities.

They are under the provincial government body known as the Islands Trust. Strict zoning

controls/bylaws were put in place in 1974 to control development on the Gulf Islands, in

order to preserve & protect them, for the benefit of all B.C. residents. Two trustees are elected for each island, at the civic elections time. On

Salt Spring, there is also an elected CRD (Capital Regional District) director. This civic election year, both the trustees & the CRD director are

being elected for a four year term.

Did you know? In a quest for listings, some realtors will speak

poorly of fellow realtors. This is against the realtor code of ethics. If you hear a realtor saying something negative about another realtor, & the realtor being maligned isn’t

present to speak on their own behalf, then you need to question the motives of that realtor who is speaking against the other realtor. There are

such things as jealousy, envy, & spite. Speak up when you hear it. Let the maligned person

know. Otherwise, you accept the bad behaviour. More info about the realtor code of ethics? Real estate Boards are happy to share this

important information with the public.

Did you know?

The Chamber of Commerce is spearheading an initiative to see a completed boardwalk in Ganges Harbour. So far, two meetings have been held with all the stakeholders present

(Trust, CRD, Harbours, Pathways, land owners, among others). The original boardwalk

plan (20 plus years ago) suggested that the boardwalk would end at Peck’s Cove.

If you have ideas about a completion of the boardwalk/Harbour walk, call the Chamber office ...share your thoughts!

Did you know? The Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce is the only B.C. Chamber that cannot benefit from

government funding that is there for all other provincial chambers... because Salt Spring is a part of the Islands Trust, & not a municipality. The Chamber is dependent on local sponsors

to facilitate good outcomes for local business. Who is in business? Perhaps anyone supplying

a service or an item for sale. The Chamber Board is all volunteer. Interested in creating

proactive & productive outcomes for the Salt Spring community? Volunteer on the

Chamber. Make a difference.

Thinking of buying? Read this tip!

Let’s say you want your future home to have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a view, plus you want to be allowed to build a seasonal cottage and raise chickens... The first things are easy to find, but the last two may be difficult depending on the property. Salt Spring’s various governing bodies, the CRD & Islands Trust, have very strict (and sometimes contradicting) rules about what you can build where, as well as how big and for what purpose. There are also by-laws regulating agriculture, farm stands, home-based businesses, and scads of other things. From the start, it’s important that you inform your Realtor of your exact plans for the property. The necessary research must be done to ensure you have the right zoning and are also informed of the potential and/or limitations of your prospective property. That’s what we do! For more information, contact me. I’ll be glad to help.

WHY the “QUIET SEASON” is ... A GOOD TIME TO LIST YOUR HOME!

The least number of houses are available for buyers to view in winter since many homes are temporarily off the market while owners are away. Lots of listings come “back on the market” in spring.

“Quiet Season Buyers” tend to be “SERIOUS BUYERS”.

It is my belief that the ratio of number of showings to offers is highest during the winter & early spring months than in summer.

Make your home stand out from the crowd when there are the fewest number of listings. Choose your timing for best success.

INCREASED DEMAND + DECREASED SUPPLY = BEST TIME TO LIST
