Cowichan Lake · Vancouver Island
Every titled waterfront sale on the lake, what buyers paid and where they came from, and the paperwork that quietly governs a waterfront sale — published each quarter.

Receive the report
Shoreline, aspect, and dock rights make two properties on the same road worth very different sums. The report is where those differences show up.
It also shows what a single listing record conceals. The median waterfront sale this quarter closed in 41 days — but two of the five had already failed at least one earlier listing, and counted end to end the median time to sell was 85 days.

What's inside
Every sale
Each completed waterfront sale — list, sold, days on market, sale price against assessed value, and the earlier listings a single record hides. The whole table, not a headline.
Land and buyers
How much of each sale BC Assessment attributes to the land rather than the house, and where the buyers came from. The parts of a waterfront price that a lake-wide median hides.
The paperwork
Foreshore leases, dock permitting, riparian setbacks, septic — the documentation that holds up a waterfront sale, one topic at a time.
A confidential valuation
Shoreline, aspect, foreshore rights and dock status vary enormously between two properties on the same road. A lake-wide median tells you very little about your own title. I prepare individual waterfront valuations on a confidential basis, with no expectation of a listing.
