Figures are September 2026 sales.  Condo and land numbers are based on very few sales (4 condos and 1 lot), so their averages can swing widely from month to month.  The townhouse dip reflects an unusually high-priced group of sales last September rather than falling values.

What It Means Right Now

If you're selling:  With 40 new single family listings in September versus 56 a year ago, well-priced homes face less competition.  Homes are still averaging 68 days to sell, so pricing it right from day one matters.  Find out what your home is worth today.

If you're buying:  Inventory is down to 129 single family homes from 151 a year ago, so good homes in popular areas will not sit long.  Land buyers have their best selection in years, with 60 lots and acreages for sale.  Get new listings sent to you first.

October: Two Elections

Campbell River elects a new mayor and council on October 17, and British Columbians vote in a provincial election on October 24.  Some buyers and sellers may wait to see what the results mean for housing policy and taxes, but election pauses usually last only a few weeks, and fewer active buyers can mean more room to negotiate.  Read more in our October market update.

About these numbers: average sale prices, sales and days to sell are from the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) Graphstats report for Zone 1, Campbell River, covering September 2026 sales.  Single family figures exclude acreage and waterfront.  Averages can move sharply in a month with few sales, so the trend over several months matters more than any one month.  Statistics © 2026 Vancouver Island Real Estate Board.  Erika Haley & Associates, REMAX Ocean Pacific.  Not intended to solicit properties already listed for sale.
