Where can buyers find the best value in August 2025?
Leading for affordability, Comox Peninsula shows an average of $160,000. This reflects the specific mix of sales in August rather than a broad reset of pricing, but it places the Peninsula at the top for entry-level detached purchases this month.
In second place, Mt Washington averaged $610,000 with limited sales but strong +17.14% year to date growth. Cumberland followed at $766,667, down year over year yet up +7.57% year to date, which suggests value with momentum.
The mid-range affordability group includes Courtenay City at $823,731 and Courtenay East at $830,583. Both remain accessible relative to the rest of the Valley and show steady to mixed trends on the annual and year-to-date comparisons.
Comox (Town of) comes in at $887,078, close to the $900,000 mark. At the high end of the list, Courtenay South averaged $1,143,000, which places it outside the affordability bracket for many buyers this month.
Courtenay North, Union Bay/Fanny Bay, and Merville/Black Creek reported no detached sales in August, so monthly averages are listed as N/A and their placement reflects year-to-date context only.
Key Takeaways
- Best value tier: Comox Peninsula, Mt Washington and Cumberland show the lowest average prices this month.
- Steady middle: Courtenay City and Courtenay East remain relatively accessible while showing mixed trend signals.
- High-price outlier: Courtenay South sits well above one million dollars and is not part of the affordability set.
- Data caveat: N/A markets reflect thin or no detached sales in August; treat these as incomplete monthly signals.
