Home assessments increase average of 12% in Nanaimo as real estate market cooled
NANAIMO — Property valuations ticked upward once again locally and across the province, however the data likely doesn’t reflect today’s reality.
Recently released data from BC Assessment showed many residential and commercial property increases on Vancouver Island rising between 10 and 20 per cent, with a typical single family home’s value in Nanaimo jumping by 12 per cent to $786,000.
Strata residential properties in Nanaimo climbed on average by 18 per cent to $470,000 for the typical home condo, apartment and townhome, noted BC Assessment deputy assessor Maurice Primeau.
He emphasized the valuations are based on market conditions on July 1, 2022, which was a stronger real estate market compared to the present climate.
