Incoming Victoria Real Estate Board president Wendy Moreton says she is looking forward to another active year for the Victoria area’s real estate market. “It may be hard to compete with 2015’s activity; it was a very busy year for sales in our area,” she says. “The strong demand that kicked in early in 2015 took many by surprise and that demand outpaced supply in popular areas throughout the year.”
Moreton has called Victoria home for more than 20 years and has worked in local real estate since 1999. “One of the best things about the greater Victoria area – and one of the biggest surprises to many moving here from elsewhere – is the huge variety of property available. Victoria offers everything from urban micro lofts to rural estates and everything in between. All local properties include our wonderful climate and year-round outdoor activities that make us the envy of the rest of the country,” she says.
Working at the board table this year with Moreton is president elect Mike Nugent, secretary-treasurer Andrew Plank, past president Guy Crozier and directors Sandi-Jo Ayers, Ara Balabanian, Kyle Kerr, Tony Wick and Cheryl Woolley.
