Outside, a small shop is ideal for projects, tools, or a workshop, and covered RV parking means your camper, boat, or trailer always has a home. Acreage like this—private, scenic, and this close to town—is increasingly hard to find, especially at this price. Whether you're looking for a family homestead, a hobby farm starter, or simply a quieter way of life with Mount Prevost as your backdrop, 4041 Cambrai delivers exceptional value.</p><p class="block-p" style="text-align: center"><strong>2 Acres • 2,300 Sq Ft • Two Floors • Mount Prevost Views • Shop • Covered RV Parking • 8 Min to Town</strong></p><p class="block-p">For more information client <a target="" rel="" href="https://cal-kaiser.com/mylistings.html/listing.1036935-4041-cambrai-rd-duncan-v9l-1n9.108772595" data-type="link">here</a>.</p> Fri, 15 May 2026 20:45:52 GMT https://cal-kaiser.com/blog.html/-new-listing-4041-cambrai-road-9019814 2026-05-15T20:45:52Z https://cal-kaiser.com/blog.html/a-weekly-update-of-the-cowichan-valley-market-9019813 <p class="block-p">Our weekly market update newsletter has been delivered!&nbsp; &nbsp;Don’t miss out on getting caught up on the highs and lows of listings and sales each week.&nbsp; Sign up below to have the Newsletter delivered to your email each week.</p><p class="block-p"><span data-type="button" class="blog-button"><a rel="" href="https://mailchi.mp/6eb85d8d5944/kaiser-associates-weekly-highs-and-lows-for-may-15-2026">Click here to check out our NEWSLETTER!</a></span></p><hr data-margin-top="0" class="margin-top-0 margin-bottom-0" data-margin-bottom="0" style="--margin-top: 0; --margin-bottom: 0;"><p class="block-p">We hope you enjoy our weekly Newsletter and would love for you to subscribe!</p><div data-type="embed" class="bv3-embed"><div id="mc_embed_shell"> <link href="https://cal-kaiser.com/cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-061523.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <style type="text/css"> #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; false;clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; width: 600px;} /* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.

Inventory has improved slightly, which means buyers are taking a bit more time to explore their options before making a decision. For sellers, this makes accurate pricing and strong marketing more important than ever. The good news is that well-presented homes that are priced correctly are still selling in a timely manner.

There are currently a good number of homes available, giving buyers more options than we’ve seen in some time. At the same time, it feels like the downward pressure we experienced over the past couple of years has largely settled.

For now, we don’t expect significant upward pressure on prices in the short term, but well-priced homes are still attracting solid interest.</p><p class="block-p"><span data-type="button" class="blog-button"><a target="_new" rel="" href="https://mailchi.mp/a521a65845b4/weekly-market-highs-and-lows-from-kaiser-associates-march-6-2026">Welcome to our weekly market report!</a></span></p><hr data-margin-top="0" class="margin-top-0 margin-bottom-0" data-margin-bottom="0" style="--margin-top: 0; --margin-bottom: 0;"><p class="block-p">We hope you enjoy our weekly Newsletter and would love for you to subscribe!</p><div data-type="embed" class="bv3-embed"><div id="mc_embed_shell"> <link href="https://cal-kaiser.com/cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-061523.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <style type="text/css"> #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; false;clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; width: 600px;} /* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.

It’s easy to assume that the assessed value is a true reflection of our home's market worth. But we took a deep dive into hundreds of our records and found the assessment number and the market value don’t match.</p><h3>The Truth About Tax Assessments</h3><p class="block-p">Cal's research revealed some significant discrepancies:</p><ul><li><p class="block-p"><strong>Under-Assessed Properties:</strong> A surprising <strong>37% of the reviewed listings sold for <em>less</em> than their assessed value.</strong> In some cases, homes went for a staggering <strong>$200,000 to $300,000 less</strong> than what the assessment authority believed they were worth.</p></li><li><p class="block-p"><strong>Over-Assessed Properties:</strong> On the flip side, some properties sold for <strong>$200,000 to $300,000 <em>more</em> than their assessed value.</strong> This shows just how wide the margin of error can be.</p></li></ul><h3>Why the Discrepancy?</h3><p class="block-p">It's a huge undertaking for assessment authorities to value every single property in an entire province each year. They rely on tools like Google Earth and street view pictures. While these tools are helpful, they simply can't capture the full picture.</p><p class="block-p">Think about it: these methods don't account for that brand-new kitchen you just installed, the upgraded bathrooms, or even necessary maintenance that hasn't been done that might increase the market value of a home. Conversely, they also don't factor in outdated interiors, like those shag carpets.</p><h3>Get the Real Picture</h3><p class="block-p">So, if your tax assessment isn't always accurate, how do you get a true understanding of your home's market value?</p><p class="block-p">Consulting an <strong>experienced and qualified real estate agent</strong>&nbsp;is the best way to understand the current market value of your home. Unlike generalized assessments, a local agent can provide a<strong> market valuation</strong> that takes into account all the unique features of your home, recent comparable sales in your specific neighbourhood, and current market conditions. This detailed analysis gives you a far more accurate and actionable valuation.</p><p class="block-p">Don't leave money on the table or misjudge your home's worth.
