NANAIMO REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE
September 2026

Hi there,

As we head into fall, the Nanaimo real estate market is showing some interesting patterns. Here's what the latest numbers tell us about buying, selling, and inventory in our community right now.

WHERE WE ARE IN SEPTEMBER

Here's what the August data shows us across Nanaimo:

ACTIVITY IN AUGUST
651 units sold — down 4% from last year. August is traditionally quieter as families return to school, but that's normal for this time of year. What matters is that we still have healthy buyer interest in Nanaimo.

INVENTORY FOR NANAIMO BUYERS
4,498 active listings in the region — up 2% from last year. More inventory is good news for buyers searching for homes in Nanaimo. You have more to choose from, which means better leverage when making an offer.

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES (NANAIMO'S MAIN MARKET)
298 single-family homes sold in August — down 11% from a year ago. This is typical seasonal slowdown, not a sign of weakness. Nanaimo single-family homes remain a strong choice for families and retirees alike.

CONDOS & APARTMENTS
70 condo apartments sold — down slightly from last year. Condos in Nanaimo continue to attract first-time buyers and downsizers looking for lower maintenance and affordability.

ROW/TOWNHOUSES
79 row/townhouses sold — up 11% from last year. These remain popular in Nanaimo for buyers who want space but less upkeep than a single-family home.

What this means for you: The Nanaimo market is steady and healthy. Whether you're buying or selling, now is a good time to make a move.
