Home sales trended downward in northern B.C., and the northeast was no exception, with seasonally adjusted sales falling in that region of the province, according to the B.C. Northern Real Estate Board.
The total value of 59 properties sold in Fort Nelson in 2025 was $10.9 million. Of these, 25 were single-family homes, six were homes on acreage and 16 were manufactured homes on a lot.
“Half of the 25 single-family homes sold in 2025, sold for less than $180,000,” the B.C. Northern Real Estate Board wrote in their update for the end of 2025. “As of December 31, there were 93 properties of all types available (for sale) in the Fort Nelson area.”
The number of properties for sale at the end of last year decreased from 2024, when the board reported 108 listings.
Northern B.C. saw 4.2 per cent less market activity than what is typically expected and 7.2 per cent less than the same period in 2024.
“Market activity took a broader downturn throughout the board region. Seasonally adjusted sales fell in Prince Rupert, Quesnel, Fort St John, Kitimat, 100 Mile House, Prince George, and Williams Lake. Overall, despite weakened sales activity in the fourth quarter, the board region had 4070 residential sales in 2025, surpassing 2024 while falling just shy of its long-run average,” wrote the BCNREB.
“The region remains about 30 per cent below what we consider healthy long-term levels of inventory,” explained the board.
In Fort St John, half of the 303 single-family homes sold cost less than $395,000. According to the real estate board, the average property in Fort St John stayed on the market for about 130 days in Q4 of last year.
