Nanaimo Real Estate Market Report: June 2020

NANAIMO – Nanaimo house market rebounds in June.

It seems as though the COVID-19 effect on the housing market has fully worn off in June with house sales soaring not just in Nanaimo but throughout Vancouver Island.

In Nanaimo, there was an increase of 19% on single-family home sales compared to June 2019 and in fact, sales increased by 87% compared to May 2020. The average sale price for Nanaimo single family homes was $581,603 which is slightly higher than May 2020 and pretty much on pace with June 2019.

Experts are being cautiously optimistic about the quick bounce back the market has made. Pent-up demand and the enticing low interest rates are a big part of the surge so it’s important to see what the next months will bring.

These are the benchmark numbers for Nanaimo and the Central and Northern Vancouver Island:
