The April market stats are out and there are definitely a few interesting shifts happening here in the Oceanside area.

Single family homes are still moving steadily, with sales up slightly from March, although prices dipped a bit month over month. Condos and townhomes saw a noticeable jump in activity, which tells me more buyers are getting back out there and exploring different options as we move further into spring.

Every spring market has its own personality and this one feels a little more active and balanced so far. If you’ve been thinking about making a move, downsizing, or just wondering what your home might be worth in today’s market, I’m always happy to have a conversation.

One of the things I love about living in the Oceanside area is how there’s always something going on, especially this time of year.

I came across a handful of great local events happening around Parksville and Nanoose Bay over the next couple of weeks, everything from live music nights and music bingo to spring markets, tulip displays, puppy yoga (yes, puppy yoga 🐶), and even a garden gnome workshop. It’s a good reminder that you don’t have to go far to find something fun to do.

Whether you’re new to the area or have lived here for years, it’s always worth checking out what’s happening locally. You might just discover a new favourite tradition.

Some events do require tickets, so if anything catches your eye, you can find more details here:

The March market stats are out and from what I’m seeing here in the oceanside area, things are picking up a bit as we head into spring.

We saw more activity in several categories and homes are generally selling a little quicker, which is pretty typical for this time of year as buyers start getting serious again. I always find this season interesting because it sets the tone for what the rest of the year might look like.

If you’ve been wondering what the market is doing or how it might affect your own plans, I’m always happy to chat about it!

Spring is here 🌷 and so are more listings

But here’s the thing: more inventory = more competition too.

👉 The smartest move? Get pre approved and ready before you start seriously shopping.

The best homes don’t sit long this time of year.

The numbers are in for February, and we’re seeing some interesting movement in the Parksville/Qualicum market.

Single family homes saw a notable increase in both average sale price and units sold, while days on market dropped compared to January. Condos and townhomes slowed slightly, but land sales picked up with higher prices and more activity.

Every segment of the market is moving a little differently right now, which is why local knowledge matters more than ever when buying or selling.

I’ve also included stats from other areas across Vancouver Island so you can see how the market is performing across the region.

If you’re curious about what these numbers mean for your home, your plans, or your neighbourhood, feel free to reach out anytime I’m always happy to chat!

After 32+ years in real estate, I’ve seen the things most buyers miss. The little details that can save you big headaches later.

When I tour a home, I’m always looking a little closer… at things like what’s behind the walls, how the house holds up, and how it really compares to the market.

It’s easy to fall in love with a home, but making sure it’s a smart move takes experience.

📊 The January Vancouver Island market stats are in, here’s what stood out in Parksville/Qualicum this month.

To start the year, activity softened across most segments, which is fairly typical coming off the holiday season. Single family homes saw both prices and sales ease back compared to December, while days on market increased, pointing to a more measured, patient market. Condos held fairly steady on pricing, though sales were slightly lower month to month. Townhomes were a relative bright spot, with more sales activity compared to December, even as prices dipped modestly. Lot sales slowed in volume, but average values were up from last month.

Overall, January reflects a more balanced, slower paced market where pricing and strategy remain key. If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year and want to talk through what these numbers mean for you, I’m always happy to help.

First, do not wait until you find “the one” to get your financing in place. In this market, the homes that feel right do not sit around, and being ready makes all the difference.

Second, pay attention to how a home feels, not just how it looks online. Photos can hide things like road noise, layout issues, a leaky roof or even how dark a home feels inside.

And finally, do not assume the asking price is the final price. Some homes are priced to leave room to negotiate, while others are priced to attract multiple offers. Understanding that difference can save you a lot of money and stress.

Buying in 2026 is not about rushing, it is about being prepared and having the right guidance when the right home shows up 🏡

The December Vancouver Island market stats are here, and here’s what stood out to me in Parksville this month!

Single family homes continued to show strength, with average sale prices climbing and homes selling a bit faster, even though overall sales dipped slightly. Townhomes were a standout, seeing solid price growth and shorter days on market, suggesting continued demand in this segment. Condos saw more sales activity, but longer days on market, which tells me buyers are taking their time and being more selective. Lots also picked up some momentum, with more sales and significantly shorter days on market compared to last month.

Overall, we’re seeing steady price resilience across most property types, with activity varying depending on the segment. As we move toward the new year, strategy and pricing matter more than ever. If you’re thinking about buying or selling in 2025 and want to talk through what these numbers mean for you, I’m always happy to help.
