Single-Family Homes Still Reigning

- Year-over-Year Price Increase: 6.33%
Condos: Cooling Sales, Steady Prices
Condo sales took a bit of a breather this May, with a 43% drop in units sold compared to last year. However, the average sale price still ticked up 4%, landing at $400,021.This might be the opportunity buyers have been waiting for — more choice, slower pace.
Townhomes: Lower Listings, Higher Value
Row/townhouse sales were down 28%, but average sale prices still grew by 5.56% year-over-year. With fewer listings and strong demand, townhouses remain a competitive segment.
What Does This Mean for You?
Whether you’re house-hunting in Courtenay East or selling your slice of Comox, timing and strategy matter more than ever. With fewer listings and faster sales in key markets, buyers need to be pre-approved and ready to move. Sellers? Make the most of low inventory and list with a strategy tailored to your neighborhood.
