Coming into 2020, the housing market on Vancouver Island looked strong. With the exception of Parksville/Qualicum and Nanaimo, virtually every community on the island favoured the seller. Just before March, realtors and analysts were anticipating a hot spring selling season, with the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) predicting price growth between 3.6% and 6% for most communities on the island.

Then COVID-19 hit. While the impact of the coronavirus is being felt across every sector of the economy, it’s the housing market that sits in a painful wait-and-see pattern. In mid-March, when the outbreak officially hit the B.C. market, housing activity on Vancouver Island dropped dramatically. For example, only 189 single-family homes sold on the island in March 2020; this number increased slightly to 246 homes sold in April, and by the end of May residential real estate activity seemed to be making a comeback with more than 455 single-family homes selling across the island.

The real test, however, is whether housing prices can remain stable. According to the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s (VIREB), the benchmark price of a single-family home was $528,800 in May; quite surprisingly, this was 3% higher than the same time frame from the previous year. (Benchmark pricing tracks the value of a typical home in the reported area.) Townhomes and condo-apartments also seem to be weathering current market challenges well, with both property types reporting a 3% year-over-year increase in prices in May 2020.

Still, real estate boards across B.C. continue be conservative in their estimates of how well residential housing will perform this year. Most are predicting a year marked with lower than normal sales activity, which could translate into stagnant or falling prices as the year ends. According to the BCREA, the advantages in favour of a sooner rather than later bounce-back are the current low interest rates and continued pent-up demand.

On the other hand, the slower economy, the market uncertainly, and a prediction that a return to normal isn’t in the cards means that many anticipate a tough go for island housing markets for the foreseeable future.
