Salt Spring Island
November...
...it speaks the tongue of grey...pearl, charcoal, racing green, uniform grey...sky and sea blend...cloud shimmers. A time to keep summer-summer firmly in our imagination as we drift down into shorter days.

What about the real estate market as November begins? Several years ago, Salt Spring and the Southern Gulf Islands became a Fall Market.
So many October events afoot on Salt Spring and the Gulf Islands, including the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend, that one doesn’t have to go anywhere at all...be a visitor in your own back yard.

In the great Pacific Northwest Coast region, both September and October can be harvest months of tranquil beauty.

There really is something for everybody on Salt Spring Island
Thoughtful is good. It allows time for a buyer to do due diligence, to have subject conditions on an offer, to be satisfied on the purchase. It also allows time for the seller to consider right pricing. A seller once again needs to prep to sell at optimum.
Summer-summer invites us to pay attention to the beauty shimmering around us.
Salt Spring and the Gulf Islands breathe blue, that lovely French blue palette, of sea and sky. You know...the hue that makes us dream.
It’s a short season. Remember your Omar Khayyam (“the bird is on the wing”), and give yourself permission to enjoy this season’s ease....
A kayak meander here, a sunset beach there, a drifting across a lake on a paddle board, an ice cream cone on a dock, a coffee at a seaside patio with a view...pack a picnic and scamper down to Ruckle Park (always a good place to start).
The ferry goes back and forth, to and fro, and the floatplanes chortle in and out. The Harbour ripples through the marina.
Somewhere out there, beyond the horizon, everyday concerns pile up...summer-summer turns away...later is the mantra. It can all wait.
Right now, a seal slides past, an eagle ponders from a tree, and summer smiles over Salt Spring...enjoy.
May is fully Spring on the Pacific Northwest Coast and the message of renewal is all around us. Are we listening? #saltspring #saltspringisland #realestate
Salt Spring Island and Spring’s restless energy invite discovery and that’s a reason to voyage to a nearby Gulf Island. #saltspringisland #saltspring
