FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The value of properties sold in Fort St. John was higher in 2025 compared to 2024, as per the BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB). 

Its year-end press release said 649 properties were sold at a combined value of $278.9 million in 2025 – up from the 646 properties worth $242.4 million sold in 2024. 

These include 303 single-family homes, half of which were sold for less than $395,000. 

The properties sold include 41 parcels of vacant land, 76 half-duplexes, 68 homes on acreage, 20 manufactured homes in parks and 57 homes on land. 

On December 31st, 2025, the number of properties still on the market had increased to 352 while at the end of 2024 only 331 properties were listed in the Fort St. John area. 

On the other hand, in Fort Nelson, property sales numbers increased but only by a small margin – 59 properties worth $10.9 million were sold in 2025 compared to 57 worth $9.3 million in 2024. 

Half of the 25 single-family homes up for sale in Fort Nelson in 2025 were sold for less than $180,000. 

Other properties included six homes on acreage and 16 manufactured homes on land. 

The report stated only 93 of all types of properties were available on the real estate market at the end of 2025, which is a decrease from the same time in 2024 when there were 108 properties for sale. 

Some 4,750 property sales worth $2.1 billion were reported by the BCNREB across northern B.C. in 2025, which is higher than the 4,665 sales worth 1.9 billion in 2024.  

Additionally, seasonally adjusted sales – removing predictable, frequently occurring seasonal patterns using statistical methods – fell in Fort St. John. 

However, the board has linked the decrease in property sales to ongoing trade negotiations with the U.S.
