Red happens, green wins. The down years came in short clusters: the early 1980s, the late 1990s, 2009 and 2011, and 2023. The biggest single-year drop was 11% in 2009, and every dip was followed by a return to growth.
Time in the market beats timing the market. Pick any ten-year stretch since 1982 and the average single family price ended higher than it started, even the weakest decade, 1993 to 2003. Most people buy a home to live in for years, and that is exactly the timeline where the growth adds up.
Condos swing more. Condo prices rose about four times since 2000, but the ride has been bumpier, and the condo average took roughly ten years to climb back past its 2008 high.

A note on the numbers: these are average sale prices from VIREB Graphstats for Zone 1, Campbell River, and are not adjusted for inflation. In a smaller market a handful of high-end sales can move the average in any single year, so the long-term trend matters more than any one year. Single family figures exclude acreage and waterfront. 2026 figures are the 12 months ending August 31, 2026. Updated each January.
