TRUCK BLAST tickets still available!
One of my fondest childhood memories was going to Monster Trucks UNLEASHED each spring at the Perth Motorplex in Australia.
I relive my youth this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY by sponsoring Truck Blast 2022 at Shirley Macey Park in Gibsons on BC’s BEAUTIFUL Sunshine Coast. The main event will be monster truck drag races but the undercard has a chili cookoff, greased pig wrestling, a celebrity photo session, and even a stunt show with me in the driver’s seat!
It’s ALMOST sold out but if you hurry, there’s still a handful of tickets up for grabs at TruckBlast.ca!
Market Update - April 2022
Interest rate hikes and uncertain work from home arrangements seem to be causing some buyers to take pause. This could be the calm before the spring real estate market frenzy, or the first signs of the Sunshine Coast moving towards a more balanced real estate market.
I expect to see a continued increase in inventory over the next 3-6 weeks as investors cash in on a peaking market and those with somewhere to go decide this spring is the time to pull the trigger.
Summer may be slower than normal this year as many Canadians are ready to travel after a couple of years staying close to home. As such, real estate may take a back seat.
At the end of last month, we had 64 detached homes listed (22 under $1M) so more inventory is coming on the market.
Here are the rest of the numbers for March 2022 as well as year-to-date.

March 2021 saw 171 total sales: 84 of them were single- family detached and the average price of those homes was $1,114,000. The average time on market was 10 days, and the total dollar volume of sales was $142,896,000.
March 2022 had 101 total sales: 55 of them were single-family detached houses with the average price of those homes being $1,190,000. The average time on market was 9 days, and the total dollar volume of sales was $98,147,000.
