As autumn turns to shorter days and rainier weather, the real estate market is easing into it’s traditionally quieter, more thoughtful pace.
We’re seeing plenty of inventory, some softening in prices, and buyers taking their time — the typical seasonal shift that’s giving people space to explore options without the rush. StatsCentre data shows listings staying close to their highest point of the year, while the 12-month trends in sales and benchmark pricing reflect a steady re-balancing. With a sales-to-active ratio just over 10%, the advantage remains on the buyer’s side.
There is plenty of local nuance and small distinctions can matter, especially if you’re preparing to buy or sell. If you’re curious about what’s happening on your street — or with your specific property type — I’m happy to walk through the details with you.
Detached Homes
Sales held steady at 45 in October, matching last year’s pace. Active listings reached 445 (+3.5% YoY), and the benchmark price dipped 3.4% to $870,100. Homes averaged 80 days on market, with Gibsons and Roberts Creek leading activity thanks to lifestyle appeal and mid-range price points.
Condos
Five condo sales were recorded (down from eight last year), with inventory up 19% to 37 active listings. The benchmark price softened 6.6% to $481,600, the sharpest adjustment among all property types. Days on market averaged 88.
Townhomes
Townhomes remained stable with five sales and 46 listings, resulting in a 10.9% sales-to-active ratio. The benchmark price eased 3.8% to $752,700, with homes spending an average of 79 days on market. Downsizers and retirees continue to be the key drivers in this segment.

Market Takeaway
Across the Coast, we’re seeing 7–14 months of inventory, confirming a broad buyer’s market heading into winter. Prices have eased slightly across all communities, listings are taking longer to sell, and buyers have regained negotiation power. Well-priced homes are still selling successfully — but strategy matters more than ever.
