A lot of people tend to hunker down in their homes in winter and do not feel like venturing out into the frigid cold more than necessary. This year has been very unique, the deep freeze and massive snow dump we experienced in December 2013 and the 2 week Chinook in January. Fort St. John is still the hottest real estate market in B.C. yet the idea of selling or buying a house in the winter is not every ones ideal.
However, January, February sales statistics are very similar to the “Spring Market” May and June – comparing the number of homes sold in a month. Fort St. John has a very consistent rate of home sales. There are probably still people who question if homes actually sell in winter, but a Fox Business article published December 12, 2013 gives tips to help people sell their homes that can be of help as residents want to sell their Fort St. John real estate.
