South Courtenay Real Estate Market
Older, established, and closer to everything than people think.South Courtenay real estate market values sit below the newer east side and that gap is almost entirely about the age of the housing rather than the quality of the location.
South Courtenay Real Estate Market Overview
South of the river is where a good deal of Courtenay's mid century housing sits. Established streets, mature trees, lots that are generally larger than the newer subdivisions and a short run into the town centre.
It has the things that tend to matter more the longer you live somewhere. Space between houses, gardens that have grown in, and a position that puts the downtown, the river and the highway all within a few minutes.
The discount to newer housing is the opportunity. An older house on a bigger lot in a settled street is a different proposition from a new build on a small one, and a fair number of buyers eventually work out that they prefer the first.

An area average will mislead when the condition spread is this wide. Nearby comparable sales and the actual state of your house are what settle it. I don't guess your home's value.
