Nanaimo Real Estate Market Report: January 2021

As with previous months, low inventory is the primary reason behind the weaker sales. The demand is there, but the listings are not. Despite the high demand, properly pricing your home remains the key to a quick sale, especially in homes between $500,000 and $700,000.

These are the benchmark numbers for Nanaimo in January 2021, as well as central and northern Vancouver Island:

Nanaimo’s benchmark price increased to $604,500, up 10 per cent from the previous year.
Campbell River’s benchmark price for single-family homes was $528,000, which is up slightly from last month but a 13 per cent increase from the previous year.
Comox Valley’s benchmark price increased by 10.5 per cent from last year to $620,100.
Duncan reported a benchmark price of $561,900, which is 16.5 per cent higher than December 2020.
The Parksville-Qualicum area increased almost 12 per cent from the last year and but only slightly increased from last month to $686,600.
Port Alberni’s benchmark rose to $371,200, only a 6 per cent increase from last year. The only increase under 10 per cent on central and northern Vancouver Island.
