NORTHERN BC – 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.
