FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Fort St. John’s real estate market is significantly more active so far this year compared to 2024, according to the BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB).

The board has released its latest quarterly report, which says 149 properties with a combined value of $56.1 million have sold in Fort St. John as of March 31st.

That’s a sharp increase from the 108 properties worth a total of $40.6 million sold in the city within the same time frame last year.

This year’s figure includes 62 single-family homes, 20 half-duplexes, 13 homes on acreage, four manufactured homes in parks and 16 manufactured homes on land.

No information was available in the report regarding the average sale price of a single-family home in the city. 

However, the number of properties on the market in Fort St. John as of the end of March sits at 402, down from the 454 available at the same time in 2024.
