The last 3 weeks have seen the highest number of homes selling in a 21 day stretch in 2025. 82 new single family homes were listed in Nanaimo in the last week. That's 6 more homes available than the previous week. Sales also increased with 28 homes selling in Nanaimo in the last week (up from 26 last week). I'm expecting to see this trend continue for the next 14 to 21 days.

This Week in My Life

This week was very busy with new listings. We introduced 5 new listings to the market in the last 7 days. This included a “like new” home in South Nanaimo (video here),  a gorgeous home in Departure Bay (video here), a suited home in the University District (video here), a home with a suite in South Nanaimo (video here), and a low bank waterfront in Lower Lantzville (video here). 

This past weekend, I went on a quick road trip to Vernon with Avery, June, & their cousin Parker. We attended the Okanagan Fighting Championships, and my daughters got to watch me referee MMA, in person,  for the first time (video here). They say they enjoyed it and would do it again. That is a win for me!

We also took a moment this week to celebrate our love for Nanaimo (post here).
