May ’22 Update

Sales in the Powell River residential real estate market were at 38 in May, up from April’s 31 and certainly on par with May’s production generally over the years.  Demand is still high so there’s every reason to expect sales to continue to be steady through the summer.  It seems unlikely that we’ll hit the peaks of 56 and 52 that we sa...

February 2021 Update
