PAUL GALINSKI reporter@prpeak.com
Real estate sales in January 2024 were considerably higher than those recorded during January the previous year.
“There was an increase in both value and volume, with single-family homes leading the market,” said Powell River Sunshine Coast Real Estate Board president Neil Frost. “The average monthly selling price for single-family homes rose by 3.3 per cent compared to 2023, with the median price increasing by 16 per cent. Nonresidential properties also saw growth, particularly in vacant land sales.”
Frost said overall, the real estate market in
the qathet region experienced robust activity in January 2024, with increased demand and rising prices across various property types.
In the single-family homes category, in January 2024, there were 14 sales, valued at $9,287,050, compared to 10 sales, valued at $6,422,500, in January 2023.
In the mobiles and
manufactured homes category, there were no sales in January 2024 or January 2023.
Condo, apartment and duplex sales in January 2024 amounted to two, valued at $845,000, compared to two, valued at $570,000, in January 2023.
Totals for residentials sales were 16 in January 2024, valued at $10,132,050, compared to 12 in January 2023, valued at $6,992,500.
In terms of non-residential sales, there were three parcels of vacant land sold in January 2024, valued at $540,000, compared to one parcel, valued at $150,000, in January 2023.
Grand totals for residential and non-residential combined were

Overall, the real estate market in the qathet region experienced robust activity in January 2024, with increased demand and rising prices across various property types.
The average MLS residential price in BC in January 2024 was up 10.5 per cent at $957,909, compared to an average price of $866,922, the low-point for average prices over the past two years, according to BCREA chief economist Brendon Ogmundson.
The total sales dollar volume was $3.8 billion, an increase of 42.9 per cent from the same time in the previous year.
price of a single-family home in January 2024 was $663,361, with an average of 58 days on the market. In January 2023, the average single-family dwelling sold for $642,250, with an average of 99 days on the market. There were 38 new residential listings in
at the end of January 2024, and 55 non-residential listings, for a total of 179 active listings at the end of the month.
According to the BC Real Estate Association (BCREA), there was a 29.4 per cent increase in residential unit sales in January 2024 over January 2023.
“Home sales are on a clear uptrend to start 2024,” stated Ogmundson in a media release. “A sharp decline in fixed mortgage rates and expectations for future Bank of Canada rate cuts is driving sentiment in the market and bringing pent-up demand off the sidelines.”

Yearly real estate sales figures drop
PAUL GALINSKI reporter@prpeak.com
Total real estate sales in the qathet region for 2023 were substantially less than those recorded in 2022.
“Overall, 2023 was down from 2022 in both overall dollar volume, homes sold and number of listings,” said Neil Frost, president of the Powell River-Sunshine Coast Real Estate Board (PRSCREB).
“Prices were also down from the historic highs of 2022.
“If you look at the statistics that have PRSCREB prices down four to five per cent, that does not tell the whole story. When you look at the benchmark
Statistics in 2023 down from record highs in 2022
prices of say your average family homes, prices are down significantly. The homes that were selling for say, $650,000, are now selling for around $600,000, or less in some cases. So, it’s good news for buyers who have been waiting for prices to come down.”
Frost said for sellers, while sale prices are down, the region is still at historically high prices, just not at the heights reached in the peak of 2022.
“We also saw homes for sale under $500,000 and even $400,000 in 2023; prices unheard of in 2022,” said Frost. “Of note, the price of new homes stayed about the same.”
According to yearend statistics from the local real estate board, in single-family residential sales, there were 194 in 2023, totalling $140,341,051, compared to 249 in 2022, totalling $183,614,240.
In the mobile and manufactured home category, there were 25 sales totalling $5,978,300 in 2023, compared to 31 sales totalling $8,678,954 in 2022.
For condos, apartments and duplexes, there were 36 sales in 2023, totalling $15,270,100, compared to 43 sales in 2022, totalling $20,386,150.
Totals for residential sales were 255 in 2023, totalling $161,589,451, compared
to 323 in 2022, totalling $212,688,150.
On the non-residential side, there were 43 parcels of vacant land sold in 2023, totalling $12,321,599, compared to 97 parcels in 2022, totalling $32,031,900.
In the industrial, commercial and institutional category, there were 10 sales in 2023, totalling $4,587,970, compared to 18 sales, totalling $6,223,536, in 2022.
Totals on the non-residential side indicate 53 sales in 2023, totalling $16,909,569, compared to 116 sales in 2022, totalling $38,255,436.
Grand totals for residential and non-residential indicate 308 units sold, totalling $178,499,020 in 2023,
compared to 439 units, totalling $250,943,780 in 2022.
The average single-family home in 2023 sold for $723,407, with an average of 68 days on the market. The average price in 2022 was $737,407, with an average of 36 days on the market. The median selling price in 2023 was $635,000, compared to $660,000 in 2022.
In 2023, there were 553 new residential listings for the year, down from 582 in 2022. On the non-residential side, there were 150 new listings in 2023 and 184 in 2022. Grand totals show 703 new listings in 2023 and 766 in 2022.
In terms of the buy-
er and seller profiles, 79.6 per cent of sellers were local residents. Of those who were selling, 60.2 per cent were parting with their primary residence.
Frost said 38.5 per cent of sellers are moving into long-term care or estate sales, suggesting a demographic shift.
In terms of buying statistics, 45.3 per cent were local in 2023 and 54.7 per cent were out of area. Of those buying, 75.8 per cent were purchasing for a principal residence.
“Overall, the statistics demonstrate a balance between local and non-local participation,” said Frost, “in both selling and buying.”
