Notes on the Comox Valley market
Community spotlights, buyer and seller guides written for British Columbia, and what Ray is seeing on the ground.
Most of what follows is the answer to a question a client asked first. Some pieces walk through buying here, some through selling here, and the community spotlights cover the communities themselves in more depth than a listing description ever will.
