2013:  Another busy year at St Clare Villa St. Clare Villa remains a popular real estate option for home buyers seeking a newer home in one of Victoria's prime areas close to all amenities. In 2013, there were 5 sales: 104, 203, 206, 102 and 308.  This matches the prior year's 5 sales.  Since 2010, 14 suites have found new owners. This is impressive when compared to virtually every other condominium development:  many suites even in Oak Bay have difficulty finding buyers and unsold or expired listings are common, with prices requiring downward adjustment to be more attractive. The Life Lease arrangement at St. Clare Villa not only provides the security of a guaranteed buy back.  The pricing structure differs considerably from traditional strata condos.  It is easy to spend $50,000-$100,000 more on a condo in the area with similar interior features.  What is difficult to find is the quiet location away from busy roads yet close enough for e...

Available for sale is unit 308, a prime top floor corner suite of nearly 1100 square feet.  Windows on the East, South and North sides and overlooks the grotto area. Contact me for private viewing or for more information. Tony Joe, 250-370-7788 or tony@tonyjoe.ca

With the recent sales of suites 206 and 102 at St. Clare Villa, there have been 4 sales in 2013.  As a result, we are likely to exceed 2012's record of 5 resales in the complex. Suites currently available for sale: 308- Top Floor, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1082 square feet, East facing suite, $279,900 103- Patio suite, 2 bedroom plus den, 2 bathroom, 1147 square feet, South and West exposures, $259,900 People often ask:  "why is everyone selling??".  I wondered, too, until it was brought to my attention that most of the original owners were in their 70s and 80s when the development sold out in 1999.  14 years later, their needs or circumstances have changed. It is encouraging to see the activity in this fine complex.  Having experienced both strong and weak markets in the past 4 years at St. Clare Villa (there were no sales between 2001-2009), it is wonderful to see new owners enjoy the excellent location in quiet Oak Bay!

Despite the slow Victoria Real Estate market of 2012, St. Clare Villa enjoyed its busiest year since it was built in 1999! There were no resales in the period of 2002-2009 and below is a list of sales numbers since then: 2009-  1 sale 2010-  2 sales 2011-  1 sale 2012-  5 sales! St. Clare Villa has been fortunate in that available units have resold.  Accordingly, the years of only 1 or 2 sales have simply been because there were only 1 or 2 units available in the calendar year! For 2012, not only was there a record 5 sales but one of the suites enjoyed multiple offers from several interested parties.  The sales history of the complex is a testament to its appeal including location, proximity to amenities and so much more. You will note that of the 24 units, 9 have changed hands in the past 3 years.  This is expected, as residents move as necessitated by their increasing needs for care in the community.
