The number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the BC Northern Real Estate Board totaled 216 units in December 2025. This increased by 25.6% from December 2024.
Home sales were 11.6% above the five-year average and 6.4% above the 10-year average for the month of December.
On an annual basis, home sales totaled 4,067 units over the course of 2025. This was a modest gain of 1.3% from 2024.
“Sales activity held a strong and steady momentum throughout 2025, with December finishing the year above the long-term averages for the month,” said Victor Khong, Chair of the BC Northern Real Estate Board. “If there’s one trend we observed in the past year it was stability, especially compared to other housing markets that were roiled by the tariff chaos. The overall annual average price also recorded a modest increase over 2024. All told, our market is in good shape as we head into 2026.”
The average price of homes sold in December 2025 was $419,529, down modestly by 2% from December 2024.
The more comprehensive annual average price was $443,881, an increase of 4.1% from all of 2024.
The Board cautions that the average residential price is a useful figure only for establishing trends and comparisons over a period of time. It does not indicate an actual price for a home due to the wide selection of housing available over a vast geographic area (the Board serves an area covering over 600,000 square kilometers or 72% of the province).
The dollar value of all home sales in December 2025 was $90.6 million, a sizable gain of 23.1% from the same month in 2024.

Months of inventory numbered 5.7 at the end of December 2025, down from the 7 months recorded at the end of December 2024 and below the long-run average of 7.2 months for this time of year.
