March Newsletter 2025

by John Cooper

This week a record number of new single family detached homes were introduced to the Nanaimo market. This is the highest number of new listings we have seen since August of 2024. That said, we have also seen an increase in sales. 19 single family homes sold in the last 7 days which is 7 more sales than we saw last week. There is an increasing amount of uncertainty entering the Nanaimo real estate market and I am predicting sales volume to be “throttled” while we collectively make sense of the impact the US tariffs will have on the local real estate market.
