I trust this message finds you well and that you enjoyed a splendid Thanksgiving. Following are the sales statistics for the Cowichan Valley for the month of September. As of today, October 10th, I've noticed a rise in market activity, a typical occurrence for this time of year. Typically, the market gains momentum a few weeks after Labour Day.
I'm more than willing to engage in a conversation about our present market. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards, Paul
