The stock

Houses account for 121 listings, land for 31, apartments for 14 and commercial for two. Three-bedroom (55) and two-bedroom (44) homes dominate, then four (20), five-plus (13) and six one-bed units. The 31 plots stand out and suit self-builders, though building lots on the island may need to meet sewer, water and setback rules. See land in Canada and apartments for the national picture.

Median home size of 202 m² reflects retirees' larger homes, many with single-level layouts and garages. Older houses may need roof and wiring checks, and a few neighbourhoods have strict tree-protection bylaws that limit renovation.

Life on this coast

The town has a beach promenade, forested trails and a village with galleries and cafés. Day-to-day needs are met next door in Parksville, and Nanoose Bay and Lantzville run south toward Nanaimo, the island's main hub with ferries to the mainland. Port Alberni is across the island to the west through a mountain pass. Halfmoon Bay is on the Sunshine Coast across the Strait of Georgia and is not a neighbour. Health services and ferry times affect daily life, so test them.

Buying from overseas

Federal rules stop most non-Canadians buying residential property until 1 January 2027, and no extension has been announced, though a replacement framework is reported. BC adds a 20% foreign buyer tax. Heating, strata costs and coastal erosion are items for your inspection. Review our Canada consultation guide, the financing page and the Canada overview.

Closing costs include BC property transfer tax on a sliding scale, legal fees and title insurance. Ask your lawyer for a full list before you sign.
