BRITISH COLUMBIA – 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.
