The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reported 825 sales with a value of $348,068,856 through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in the first quarter of 2026. This compares with 911 sales worth $366,534,616 to the end of March 2025. As of March 31st, there were 2923 properties of all types available for purchase through the MLS® compared to 2660 at this time last year.
Sales in the BC Northern region in the first quarter of 2026 ticked downward from a slower previous quarter. At 954 sales on a seasonally adjusted basis, housing market activity was 9.1 per cent below historical averages and 8.1 per cent below the level of Q1 2025. With 1,762 active listings at the end of March 2026 (seasonally adjusted), the region remains about 20 per cent below average long-term levels of inventory. The average sale price in the board area fell to $433,250, 0.7 per cent below the previous quarter.
Market activity took a broader downturn throughout the board region. Seasonally adjusted sales rose from the prior quarter in only Quesnel and Williams Lake. Meanwhile, seasonally adjusted sales fell in Prince Rupert, Fort St. John, Kitimat, 100 Mile House, Prince George, Terrace, and Smithers. The sales-to-active listings ratio fell to 18 per cent, keeping Northern markets near the higher end of balanced conditions. Worsening market activity may reflect ongoing weakness in the Northern economy, exacerbated by US tariffs that directly hinder several key regional industries. Moreover, the Bank of Canada’s policy direction remains increasingly uncertain amidst sharp oil price shocks and weak economic conditions. Looking ahead, the North is looking for prolonged stability in the global economy and a tariff-free renegotiation of the USMCA to reignite growth. We hope these two factors, coupled with relatively favorable affordability conditions, will strengthen regional sales through the second half of the year.

The REALTOR® members of the BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reported 4750 property sales worth $2.1 billion in 2025 through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), up from last year’s 4665 sales worth $1.9 billion.
Sales in the BC Northern region in the fourth quarter of 2025 ticked downward from a close-to average previous quarter. At 1,008 sales on a seasonally adjusted basis, housing market activity was 4.2 per cent below historical averages and 7.2 per cent below the level of Q4 2024. With 1,811 active listings at the end of December 2025 (seasonally adjusted), the region remains about 30 per cent below what we consider healthy long-term levels of inventory. The average sale price in the board area fell to $436,495, 4.2 per cent below the previous quarter.
Market activity took a broader downturn throughout the board region. Seasonally adjusted sales rose from the prior quarter in only Terrace and Smithers. Meanwhile, seasonally adjusted sales fell in Prince Rupert, Quesnel, Fort St. John, Kitimat, 100 Mile House, Prince George, and Williams Lake. Overall, despite weakened sales activity in the fourth quarter, the board region had 4,070 residential sales in 2025, surpassing 2024 while falling just shy of its long-run average. The sales-to-active listings ratio fell to 18.5 per cent, keeping Northern markets within balanced conditions, edging towards a seller's market. However, slower quarterly sales activity relative to Q4 2024 and the preceding quarters of 2025 may reflect the lingering effects of tariffs on the bedrock industries of the Northern economy. Looking ahead, the North and the rest of Canada will be crossing their fingers for an ultimate trade resolution with the US, such that prospective buyers re-enter the market and stimulate a strong recovery throughout the province.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board reports 3764 properties worth $1.6 billion sold through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in the first nine months of 2025. At this time last year, 3602 properties worth $1.5 billion had changed hands. As of September 30th, there were 3472 properties of all types available for sale through the MLS®, up from 3361 properties at the end of September last year.
Sales in the BC Northern region in the third quarter of 2025 ticked upward from a relatively weaker previous quarter. At 1,049 sales on a seasonally adjusted basis, housing market activity was 1.4 per cent below its 10-year average, and 7.1 per cent above the level of Q3 2024. With 1,716 active listings at the end of September 2025 (seasonally adjusted), the region is roughly 30 per cent below what we consider healthy long-term levels of inventory. The average sale price in the board area rose to $455,864, 0.1 per cent above the previous quarter.
Market activity varied widely across the board region. Seasonally adjusted sales rose from the prior quarter in Williams Lake, Prince George, Terrace, Fort St. John, Kitimat, 100 Mile House, and Prince Rupert, while declining in Smithers and Quesnel. Overall, sales activity in the North strengthened in the third quarter, demonstrating ongoing stability amidst prevailing uncertainties that continue to hamper the most expensive regions in the province. As the sales-to-active listings ratio stabilizes around 20 per cent (1.5 per cent higher than in Q2 2025), Northern markets are nearing the upper threshold of balanced conditions, edging toward seller-market territory. However, the ongoing impact of tariffs has continued to affect many integral industries of the northern economy— and may begin affecting sales activity moving into the final quarter of the year.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reports 2345 properties sold through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in the first six months of 2025, up from the 2281 sales reported in the first half of 2024. The value of these properties was $1 billion compared with $938 million in 2024. At the end of June, there were 3627 properties of all types available for purchase through the MLS® of BCNREB, up from 3597 at the same time last year.
Sales in the BC Northern region in the second quarter of 2025 ticked slightly downward from the previous quarter. At 988 sales on a seasonally adjusted basis, housing market activity was 6.2 per cent below historical averages and 2.1 per cent below the level of Q2 2024. With 1,822 active listings at the end of June 2025 (seasonally adjusted), the region is roughly 20 per cent below what we consider healthy long-term levels of inventory. The average sale price in the board area rose to $455,243, 9.8 per cent above the previous quarter.
Market activity varied widely across the board region. Seasonally adjusted sales rose from the prior quarter in Kitimat, 100 Mile House, Quesnel, Prince Rupert, and Smithers, while declining in Fort St. John, Prince George, Terrace, and Williams Lake. Overall, sales activity in the North remained strong through the second quarter, demonstrating remarkable resilience to growing uncertainties that affected other regions of the province. As the sales-to-active listings ratio stabilizes around 18% (marginally lower than in Q1 2025), northern markets remain in a largely similar position to the previous quarter. However, the ongoing impact of tariffs—which heavily affect many cornerstone industries of the northern economy—may yet hamper sales activity moving into the second half of the year.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reported 917 sales with a value of $368,280,839 through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in the first quarter of 2025. This compares with 817 sales worth $327,442,096 to the end of March 2024. As of March 31st, there were 2885 properties of all types available for purchase through the MLS® compared to 2896 at this time last year.
Sales in the BC Northern region in the first quarter of 2025 ticked slightly downward following strong activity in the previous quarter. At 1,034 sales on a seasonally adjusted basis, housing market activity was 3.1 per cent below historical averages and 11 per cent above the level of Q1 2024. With 1,777 active listings at the end of March 2025 (seasonally adjusted), the region is roughly 23 per cent below what we consider healthy long-term levels of inventory. The average sale price in the board area fell to $414,417, 2.5 per cent below the previous quarter.
Market activity varied widely across the board region. Seasonally adjusted sales rose from the prior quarter in Williams Lake, Smithers, Quesnel, and Fort St. John, while declining in Kitimat, 100 Mile House, Prince George, Prince Rupert, and Terrace. Relative to other regions of the province, sales activity in the North remained strong during the first quarter while following the provincial trend of accumulating inventory. Despite a stable sales-to-active listings ratio of about 19% (marginally lower than Q4 2024), the threat of tariffs, largely directed at the bedrock industries of the northern economy, has the potential to upend a strong start for Northern markets.

The REALTOR® members of the BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reported 4667 property sales worth $1.9 billion in 2024 through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), up from last year’s 4229 sales worth $1.7 billion.
Sales in the BC Northern region in the fourth quarter of 2024 ticked upward following strong activity in the previous quarter. At 1,096 sales on a seasonally adjusted basis, housing market activity was 2.7% above historical averages and 23% above the level of Q4 2023. With 1,759 active listings at the end of December 2024 (seasonally adjusted), the region is roughly 25% below what we consider to be a healthy, long-term level of inventory. The average sale price in the board area fell to $424,814, 1.8% below the previous quarter.
Market activity around the board region was largely positive. Seasonally adjusted sales rose from the prior quarter in Prince George, 100 Mile House, Fort St. John, Kitimat, Terrace, and Smithers, while declining in Prince Rupert, Quesnel, and Williams Lake. Overall, the housing market in the BC Northern Board, while remaining in a similar state of balance, saw some heightened activity in the form of higher sales and active listings. With a sales-to-active listings ratio of about 20% (slightly higher than Q3), we expect momentum to continue building into 2025 as the Bank of Canada cuts towards its neutral range, encouraging market entry from prospective buyers previously on the sidelines. From these policy announcements, housing market activity may begin to accelerate as borrowing costs continue to improve for buyers.
