Leading for affordability, Errington, Coombs and Hilliers averaged $793,565. Prices are down on both the annual and year to date comparisons, which creates room for buyers who want detached homes at the most accessible levels in the region.

Parksville ranks second at $856,784 and shows steady gains on both measures. Bowser and Deep Bay sit third at $878,141 with softer readings versus last year and year to date. These areas offer value while giving access to coastal amenities.

Moving up the scale, French Creek averages $907,757 with a small annual dip but a positive year to date trend. Qualicum Beach follows at $954,681. Nanoose steps into the premium tier at just over one million, and Fairwinds tops the list above $1.37 million, placing it outside the affordability bracket for most buyers this month.

Whether you are buying, selling or simply working out what your property is worth, the number matters more than the opinion. Market conditions on Vancouver Island shift by community and by month, and a value that was right in the spring may not hold by the fall.

I do not guess your home's value. I prove it, using actual market value and real market movement so you can protect your equity and move forward with confidence. Send me the address and I will show you the numbers.

You have reached the end of this article, but there is a great deal more to Vancouver Island than any one community. I have lived here for more than 30 years and watched these communities grow, shift and adapt. What I have learned is that most people choose the right house in the wrong community, and that the questions worth asking are practical ones about services, distance and what daily life actually requires. Keep working through the regions and communities at Living on Vancouver Island.
