November 2024 Nanaimo Market Update

by John Cooper

November 2024

In my weekly review of sales statistics, I've consistently predicted a slow rise in inventory and steady prices since April 2024. As we approach the final weeks of the year, these predictions are proving accurate. Average sale prices have remained within a 3% margin of their starting point, and inventory has increased across all asset categories. Overall, the market remains balanced, with realistically priced homes selling within an average of 36 days, while overpriced homes linger. Declining interest rates have contributed to market stability, but haven't driven price increases—a trend I anticipate will persist. The forecast for the next 6 to 12 months is a stable, balanced market with minimal appreciation.
