Yes, it is time to buy...interest rates remain exceptionally low, sellers are aware that it is firmly a buyer's market (serious sellers will listen to valid offers), and the spectre of inflation is in the wings. So much paper currency has been printed, globally, for all these bailouts, and nothing is backing same...except a government.
A purchase on Salt Spring Island or another of the Southern Gulf Islands has a "protected investment" aspect, due to the Islands Trust (with its "preserve and protect" mandate). The Trust capped growth on all Gulf Islands, in the mid-1970s, and so there will always be a limited inventory available on any of these stellar islands.
Salt Spring is the largest and the best serviced of the Gulf Islands, and offers both ease of access to major centres and also a wonderful sense of being "apart". A year round lifestyle is available on Salt Spring.
This gem of an oceanview property offers privacy (a land configuration that is like a "double lot"), exceptional wide-angle and secure views of ocean/islands/mountains, including Mt. Baker's majesty (a true panoramic vista), good all day sun exposure/year round, a community water system, and proximity to shopping in Ganges Village, to the Sailing Club, to golf and to all amenities. The post and beam rancher style home is a great rental option/holding property, for now, and easy to either renovate into a 21st Century gem, or, start anew. The area and the land itself, with that stellar view, are worth it! This is one of the very best oceanview properties on special Salt Spring Island!
Bring your designer/architect, and walk this one, soon. To be a saavy investor, one must recognize the signposts of change, and do so "before the pack". Motivated seller, wonderful land, superb views, an easy renovation to enjoy fully...this is a "best buy". How may I help you to purchase this property on beautiful Salt Spring Island?
