June 2025 Vancouver Island Real Estate Board Statistics – Housing Market Weathering Uncertainty as Summer Unfolds
NANAIMO, BC – The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) recorded 858 unit sales (all property types) in June 2025, up 18 per cent from one year ago. Year-over-year active listings (all property types) were 4,542, up one per cent from the previous year.
In the single-family category (excluding acreage and waterfront), 474 homes sold in June, up 34 per cent from one year ago and an increase of 16 per cent from May. Sales of condo apartments last month came in at 77, a decrease of six per cent year over year and up four per cent from May. In the row/townhouse category, 93 units changed hands in June, up two per cent from one year ago and an increase of eight per cent from May.
Active listings of single-family homes were 1,527 last month compared to 1,566 in June 2024. VIREB’s inventory of condo apartments was 394 in June, down from the 440 listings posted one year ago. There were 365 row/townhouses for sale last month compared to 364 in June 2024. VIREB Chair Olivier Naud notes that VIREB’s housing market remains balanced, with approximately six months of inventory, an optimal situation for buyers and sellers.
“The continued economic uncertainty caused by the Trump administration’s tariff threats makes it difficult to forecast any long-term trends in the housing market,” says Naud. “However, despite some oddities and anomalies in local markets, the Vancouver Island housing market is proving to be remarkably resilient. It continues to buck the trend of declining home sales experienced on the Lower Mainland.”
Moving on to prices, the board-w0ide benchmark price (MLS® Home Price Index) of a single-family home was $803,400 in June 2025, up two per cent from one year ago. In the apartment category, the benchmark price was $406,600 last month, down one per cent from the previous June. The benchmark price of a townhouse in June was $554,800, up two per cent from the prior year.
In Campbell River, the benchmark price of a single-family home was $703,000 last month, down slightly from June 2024. The Comox Valley’s year-over-year benchmark price rose by four per cent to $874,700. In the Cowichan Valley, the benchmark price was $801,800, up one per cent from June 2024. Nanaimo’s year-over-year benchmark price rose by two per cent to $837,900, while the Parksville-Qualicum area saw its benchmark price increase by one per cent to $906,200. The cost of a benchmark single-family home in Port Alberni was $530,900, up three per cent from the previous year. For the North Island, the benchmark price of a single-family home rose by nine per cent to $477,900.
Please note: The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) transitioned to a new MLS® System in July 2020 and now uses a significantly different data model, which has affected our categories and terminology. For the board-supplied graphs, single-family is now referred to as single-family detached, apartment as condo apartment, and townhouse as row/townhouse, which now includes patio homes. However, when reporting HPI numbers, VIREB still refers to single-family, apartment, and townhouse in the media release.
