Which communities came out on top in August 2025?
At the top of the ranking, Courtenay South reported an average detached price of $1,143,000, rising sharply with gains of 23.97% year over year and 24.26% year to date. This makes it the most expensive community in the Valley by a wide margin. Comox (Town of) followed at $887,078. Although prices were down slightly compared with the same month last year, values are still ahead by nearly two percent on a year-to-date basis.
In the next tier, Courtenay East averaged $830,583, showing a softer annual comparison but remaining positive year to date. Courtenay City landed just behind at $823,731, maintaining steady momentum with both annual and year-to-date growth in the mid-single digits.
Cumberland held the fifth spot with an average price of $766,667. Despite being down compared to last August, Cumberland has grown more than seven percent year to date, highlighting its resilience. Mt Washington posted $610,000 from limited sales, which still supported double-digit growth across the year to date measure.
Lower on the list, Comox Peninsula averaged just $160,000. This dramatic reading reflects the mix of properties sold rather than a reset of overall pricing. Courtenay North, Union Bay/Fanny Bay, and Merville/Black Creek reported no detached sales in August, so their ranking is based on year-to-date performance only.
