Downtown, Campbell River - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Downtown Campbell River: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks
If you own property in Downtown Campbell River and you're still going off your last tax assessment, you're probably leaving money on the table. Here's what's actually happening on the ground right now.
The Vibe: What's Going On in Our Neighbourhood
Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two very different stories right now.
Houses - Steady, With a Bit of a Breather
The average sale price for a house in Downtown sits at $749,900, and listings are coming in around $599,900 this month. Homes are selling at 98.35% of list price - so buyers are getting a small discount, but sellers aren't getting crushed. That's a stable market, not a falling one.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $813,885
- Predicted market value: $826,540
- 3-month moving average: $790,903 (values are climbing)
- Price per square foot: $241
- Average days on market: 55 days
- Estimated monthly rent: $3,526
- Rental yield: 5.10%
- Growth rank: 1 out of 9 neighbourhoods in Campbell River
That last point is worth repeating. Out of 9 comparable neighbourhoods in Campbell River, Downtown ranks first for recent value growth at 4.43%. Merecroft, Campbelton, and Quinsam Heights are all cheaper - and none of them are outpacing us right now. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell than Merecroft (55 days vs. 43), so we're not in a frenzy. But the fundamentals are strong.
Condos - Big Numbers, Big Potential
The condo picture in Downtown is a different league entirely. We're talking an average HonestDoor Price of $2,207,160 and a predicted market value of $2,353,345. Values have moved 7.08% recently, and Downtown condos rank first for growth across all comparable neighbourhoods in Campbell River.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $2,207,160
- Predicted market value: $2,353,345
- 3-month moving average: $2,290,104 (trending up)
- Average days on market: 53 days
- Estimated monthly rent: $7,425
- Airbnb estimate: $354 per night
- Airbnb rank in Campbell River: 1 out of all neighbourhoods
- Growth rank: 1 out of 9 neighbourhoods in Campbell River
Condos are selling at 96.46% of list price, so buyers have a little room to negotiate. But with values climbing and Downtown holding the top Airbnb rank in all of Campbell River, the income potential here is real. Merecroft condos average $1,759,378 and Campbelton comes in at $1,472,166 - both well below what Downtown is commanding.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters Right Now
Here's the thing about government assessments - they're a snapshot from months ago, sometimes longer. They don't know that Downtown Campbell River just ranked first for growth in the city. They don't factor in what buyers are actually paying today.
The HonestDoor Price is a real-time check on what your property is worth in the current market. For houses, that number is $813,885 - already higher than the average sale price of $749,900. For condos, the HonestDoor Price of $2,207,160 is climbing toward a predicted value of $2,353,345. That gap between the old assessment and today's reality is exactly where homeowners either win or get caught off guard.
Check your HonestDoor Price now. Don't wait for the city to catch up.
The So What - Should You Sell This Summer?
If you're a house owner thinking about listing this summer, here's the honest read. The market is stable, not hot. Homes are sitting for about 55 days, and buyers are getting a small discount off list price. You're not going to get a bidding war, but you're also not going to panic-sell. Price it right from day one and you'll move it.
The bigger story is the growth trajectory. House values are up 4.43% recently and the predicted value of $826,540 is above where most recent sales landed. That means the market may still have room to run. If you can wait a few months, the numbers suggest patience could pay off.
For condo owners, the case for selling is even more interesting. Downtown holds the top Airbnb rank in Campbell River and the top growth rank. Buyers looking for income properties are going to be drawn here. If your condo is well-positioned for short-term rental, that's a real selling point - and it's one you should be putting front and centre in any listing.
Bottom line - Downtown Campbell River is leading the city right now. Whether you're selling, renting, or just keeping score, the numbers are working in your favour.
