British Columbia · CITY / REGIONAL MARKET · Sep 2026
Explore the provider’s Nanaimo market across all its communities: resale prices, listing activity, rentals and the property types behind the numbers.
THE SEP 2026 SNAPSHOT
139 sales were recorded across all property types in Sep 2026. The median sold price was $725,000, 9.0% above the same month a year earlier. Recorded sales were 0.0% higher than the 139 recorded in Sep 2025.
358 new sale listings were recorded during the month. The active-listing observation was 864. Sales divided by active listings gives 16.1%; this is a monthly activity ratio, not a prediction of how quickly a particular home will sell.
161 months in the all-types series have recorded sales, with 1,735 sales across the latest 12 calendar months. 3 individual property types have sales in that period. The supplied series runs from Nov 2011 through Sep 2026. Missing periods remain unavailable.
The listing-days measure was 49, compared with 77 property days. A rental median is not shown unless at least five rentals and a usable rent are recorded in the same month. A resale rental median is not a rental estimate for a future new home.
Among property types with at least five sales, the lowest observed median was $494,950 for condo apartments; the highest was $815,000 for detached homes. These are different groups of homes, so the spread reflects property mix as well as location and size.

The vertical scale fits the selected observations. Sale-price points require five recorded sales; rents require five recorded rentals. These are historical resale observations, not builder prices or forecasts. Missing months and unavailable observations appear as gaps.

THE LONGER RECORD
All property types. Sales are summed only over available months; 2026 ends in September and the first year can also be partial. Price ranges are the lowest and highest qualifying monthly medians in each year, not an annual median or the range of individual sold prices. Partial years should not be compared as full-year totals.

BRING IT BACK TO YOUR SEARCH
Start with the matching property type, then compare above-grade space, bedrooms, parking, ownership costs and location. An all-types median can move when a different mix of homes sells.
Historical resale prices describe past transactions. Builder prices, deposits and financing at a future closing date need their own assessment.

Prepared by Team Arora from a supplied HouseSigma aggregate market-trend export captured October 24, 2026 and imported 2026-10-25. Monthly observations end in Sep 2026. October month-to-date observations are excluded from monthly charts and summaries. Distribution charts are separate provider snapshots captured October 24 and can include ongoing-month activity. This independent interpretation is not operated or endorsed by HouseSigma.
The provider geography is British Columbia / Nanaimo / all communities (municipality ID 10522; community ID all). Provider boundaries can differ from municipal, postal and everyday neighbourhood boundaries. Similar names in other parent markets remain separate. Province and region directories do not claim province-wide medians or add overlapping geography counts together.
Headline medians, price-chart points and annual price comparisons require at least five sales in each relevant month. Historical tables retain small sale samples with a label. Rental medians require at least five rentals and a plausible positive value in that month. Missing values are not filled from another month. Year comparisons use the exact calendar month; counts, listing days, distributions and provider indicators retain the qualifications shown alongside them.
Medians reflect the mix of homes transacted, not same-home appreciation or investment returns. Provider popularity is platform-specific and its scale is not independently verified. Our sales-to-active ratio is calculated from the displayed counts, with no market-temperature classification. These figures are historical resale context, not project sales, appraisals, rental guarantees or forecasts. Data has not been audited against individual transactions.
