Now to convince my better half to sell out, pocket the difference and buy in Nelson or Courtenay...,

Most houses sell well above assessed, but $175,500 over asking must have been quite a bidding war...
Meanwhile in my building, one condo assessed at $230,200 just sold for $233,000, or $4,000 under asking after 13 days on the market. Another unit assessed for $243,200 and listed for $259,000 remains on the market for 43 days.

5 of 27 suites are allowed to be rented, currently 4 are rented.
No pets
No kids
Just sit quietly with your hands folded in your lap.

Yep. Those kinds of restrictions make sales tough.

And trying to get that message across here is like talking to a brick wall.

Yup. Had this discussion many many times with my now ex-strata council re: my Fairfield condo which I finally managed to sell in February after being on the market for 6+ months and two realtors. No rentals, no pets and no kids under 16 were all sale-killers - especially the first two caveats. However Fairfield being Fairfield there was no way I would ever get the 2/3 vote needed on that strata to change things. Owners in that particular building were adamantly opposed to the notion of rentals, period. No way, no how.....
My unit was assessed at $283K in 2015 and given the restrictions I almost felt fortunate at getting out and selling at $275.....

I'm on the strata and also sit on our recently formed bylaw review committee. Some of the justifications for the status-quo are real head-scratchers.
We're lucky to have 5 rentals. It almost went down to 3 several years ago when it dropped from 9.
The remaining unit currently on the market also reeks of cigarette smoke. Can't have a cat in the event you don't empty the litter box, but you can smoke your brains out...

Condo market is also way less active overall than SFHs lately
Showings signs of craziness too.
#10 – 2828 Shelbourne, 1996 built townhome, sold for $554,000. Purchased in 2011 for $475,000.
#910 – 728 Yates, 1 year old studio with no parking, sold for $338,000. Pre-sale price would have been around $220ish including GST.

$338 for a studio is pretty nuts.

doubtful that's a realtor. Perhaps someone who needs help crunching numbers on affordability or return on a rental or something like that.

I've seen this happen for a few years here in Gordon Head--bidding wars, sales completed hours after listings. It's amazing. In a way I hate to see it because I think it would be better for all concerned if prices cooled down.
Well, so much for cooling down.
I've been keeping an eye on prices and typical Gordon Head homes are going for between $1.2 and $1.4 million. Basically prices have doubled in less than a decade. It seems like just a few months ago the common asking price was $850,000 to $980,000 on average.

New stress test coming for mortgages will likely take 5% or more folks out of the house buying picture.
