Port Hardy Real Estate Market
The one town up here with enough going on to set a benchmark.Port Hardy real estate market data carries more weight than any other set of figures on the north Island, because this is the largest town in the region and the one every other market is measured against.
Port Hardy Real Estate Market Overview
Port Hardy has the hospital, the airport, the ferry terminal that runs north to Prince Rupert and across to Bella Coola, and the shops that everyone from Woss to Winter Harbour drives in for. That concentration of services is not repeated anywhere else in the region.
The economy has moved on from what it was. Commercial fishing and forestry are still here and so is a substantial aquaculture industry, alongside tourism that has grown steadily as more people work out that Cape Scott and the Broughton Archipelago exist.
Everything else up here trades relative to this town. A house in Port Alice or Port McNeill is priced partly by what the same money buys in Port Hardy. That makes this page the sensible starting point even if Port Hardy is not where you intend to end up.

- What it shows. A full year of completions, prices and days on market.

- Ask yourself. Which direction has the town moved over the year?

Questions About These Numbers
Yes. Any graph on this page will send it out at whatever frequency you set, and you can adjust or end it whenever you like.
For a lot of people, yes, and it is the most practical town in the region for it. The hospital, the airport and the shops are the reason, and they are the things people miss most in the smaller places.
It is the northern link, running up to Prince Rupert and over to Bella Coola. It matters more for the traffic it brings through the town than for daily life here.
Port Hardy is larger and carries more services. Port McNeill is tidier and has a good deal of newer housing. They price differently for reasons that are more about the housing stock than the towns.
A town figure will not settle it. What has sold near you, the condition of the house and whether you have any outlook over the bay are what actually decide the number. I don't 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.
