While many BC markets are seeing softening prices and weaker sales, Fort St. John’s local market continues to show modest gains and consistent activity.
According to the BC Northern Real Estate Board, both sales and average prices are up slightly from last year, showing steady demand and confidence in our local market.
What the numbers say:
🏠 Average sale price in Northern BC: up about 4–5% from 2024
📈 Total property sales: up 4% year-to-date
📉 Inventory: down roughly 7% from last year — fewer listings competing for attention.
💵 Median list price in Fort St. John: around $358,000–$370,000, holding steady throughout 2025.
What this means for sellers:
✅ Well-priced homes are selling — buyers are still active and motivated.
✅ Less inventory means less competition for your property.
✅ Listing before the new year can help you stand out as activity picks up in spring.
What this means for buyers:
✅ A balanced market creates opportunity — fair pricing and more choice.
✅ Prices are stable, not spiking, which makes timing favorable.
✅ With potential rate easing ahead, your buying power may improve.
Fort St. John continues to show the kind of balance and consistency that gives both buyers and sellers confidence.
