🌞 Sunshine Coast Real Estate Market Update — September 2025
As we move into the fall season, the Sunshine Coast real estate market continues to show subtle shifts across all property types. The September 2025 data from the Greater Vancouver Realtors highlights a market that’s steady overall, but with clear differences between detached homes, condos, and townhomes.
🏡 Detached Properties: Steady Sales, Slight Price Softening
Detached homes saw 42 sales in September 2025, up 10.5% from the same month last year. Inventory levels dipped slightly, with 479 active listings, a 1.6% decrease year over year.
However, properties are taking longer to sell — the average days on market rose to 80 days, up 37.9% compared to September 2024.
The benchmark price came in at $873,300, down 1.7% from last year, showing mild price pressure even as activity remains healthy.
🏢 Condos: Small Market, Big Swings
Condo sales doubled year-over-year, with 4 sales in September 2025 versus just 2 a year earlier. Inventory stayed stable at 40 active listings.
The average days on market dropped significantly — from 142 days to 93, a 34.5% improvement, signaling stronger buyer engagement.
However, prices softened: the benchmark price fell 12.5% to $460,600. This may reflect both smaller sample sizes and shifting buyer preferences in a higher-interest-rate environment.
🏘️ Townhomes: Inventory Surge, Prices Holding
Townhome listings saw a major jump, up 71% year-over-year to 53 active listings. Sales held steady at 4 units, suggesting the market is balancing increased supply with consistent demand.
The benchmark price declined slightly by 1.1% to $748,600, while the average days on market shortened to 56 days, a 24% improvement from last year.
