Life in Swan Lake West

Swan Lake West is the semi-rural area on the north edge of Vernon, west of Swan Lake along Highway 97 and Old Kamloops Road. You get larger lots, small acreages and country views, while Walmart, Superstore and the north-end shopping are only minutes away and downtown is about 10.

Jurisdiction is a patchwork here, so it's worth checking for each property. The Blue Jay subdivision is inside the City of Vernon, Stepping Stones Crescent addresses are in the Township of Spallumcheen, and much of the rest is in the Regional District of North Okanagan. That affects taxes, services and what you're allowed to build.

Nature is right on your doorstep. The Swan Lake Nature Reserve has a 1.8 km trail and a three-storey viewing tower for birdwatching (no dogs allowed), and the Grey Canal Trail has a trailhead on Blue Jay Road.

Selling a home in Swan Lake West?

If you're thinking about selling, I can tell you what your home is worth in today's market and what buyers here are looking for. Here are the questions sellers ask me most.

What is my Swan Lake West home worth?

How long does it take to sell in Swan Lake West?

That depends on price, condition and the season. When we meet, I'll show you how long similar homes have been taking to sell right now, and how pricing affects it.

What do buyers need to know about a rural property in Swan Lake West?

Buyers and lenders will ask about the water source (well records or water system), the septic system, zoning, and whether the land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Gathering those records before you list avoids delays and renegotiation.

Should I get a septic or well inspection before listing?

Often, yes. A recent septic pump-out and inspection and a well flow and water quality test give buyers confidence and keep the deal together.

What does it cost to sell a home in BC?

Commission in BC is always negotiable. My standard fee is 6% on the first $100,000 of the sale price and 3% on the balance, plus GST, shared equally with the brokerage that brings the buyer. On an $800,000 sale, for example, that's $6,000 + $21,000 = $27,000 plus GST. That covers a lot of work behind the scenes, from me and from the technology I put in place, all aimed at getting you the best price and the easiest possible sale. Your other costs are legal or notary fees and any mortgage discharge costs or penalties. In BC the buyer, not the seller, pays property transfer tax. I'll give you a net-proceeds estimate before you list.
