After a few years that felt like a roller coaster nobody actually wanted to ride, the Canadian housing market is finally starting to calm down. And for people thinking about buying a home in Prince George, that shift matters.

According to the latest RE/MAX housing market outlook, 2026 isn’t shaping up to be a dramatic rebound year. Instead, it looks more like something buyers have been craving for a while: steadier conditions, improving inventory, and a more predictable Prince George real estate market.

For anyone watching Prince George homes for sale over the past few years, that kind of balance feels like a win.

Buyers in Prince George are warming up again
Confidence across Canada is slowly returning, and Prince George real estate is no exception. Roughly one in ten Canadians plans to buy a home in the next 12 months, driven by softer prices, more choice, and signs of stability. Locally, buyers who paused during peak uncertainty are starting to re-enter the Prince George housing market and explore real estate listings again.

Many people are asking the same question: is it a good time to buy in Prince George? While every situation is different, the current mix of pricing and inventory is giving buyers more breathing room than we’ve seen in a while.

First-time home buyers are a big part of the story
First-time buyers now make up about half of all potential buyers nationwide, and that trend is showing up in Prince George too. Younger buyers and first-time home buyers in Prince George are feeling cautiously optimistic, especially as affordability improves compared to larger B.C. cities.

For many, buying a starter home in Prince George or an entry-level property feels more achievable than it did even a year ago. Condos, townhouses, duplexes, and smaller single-family homes in Prince George are getting renewed attention from buyers planning their first move into homeownership.

Interest rates could unlock more Prince George home sales
Interest rates remain a major factor for anyone buying a house in Prince George. Nearly a quarter of Canadians say that an additional 0.5 to 1 per cent drop would be enough to move forward. With rate cuts already happening through 2025, even small changes could bring more buyers back into the Prince George real estate market in early 2026.

For buyers watching affordability closely, explainable payments and predictable financing often matter more than timing the absolute bottom.

Neighbourhood choices in Prince George are shifting again
Location is back on the radar. As return-to-office expectations increase, commute times and neighbourhood flexibility are once again shaping how people search for homes in Prince George BC. Buyers are balancing affordability with lifestyle, looking closely at Prince George neighbourhoods near schools, downtown, UNBC, CNC, parks, and trail systems.

Whether it’s family-friendly neighbourhoods in Prince George or homes with space for pets, buyers are being more intentional about how a home fits real life Monday to Friday.

Prince George and Canadian markets are finding balance
Across Canada, markets are stabilizing. Ontario and B.C. saw prices cool, Prairie markets held steady, and Atlantic Canada continues to show modest growth. Here in Prince George, the real estate market is trending toward balance, offering buyers and sellers clearer expectations and fewer surprises.

Inventory has improved, pricing has cooled from peak levels, and the gap between buyer and seller expectations is slowly narrowing.

The bottom line for Prince George home buyers
Canadians haven’t given up on homeownership. They’re just approaching it with clearer eyes and firmer expectations. For anyone thinking about moving to Prince George, relocating within the city, or buying their first home, 2026 may not be flashy — but it could be dependable.

And honestly, dependable is underrated.

If you’re thinking about buying a home in Prince George, selling your current place, or just want to talk through Prince George real estate trends and neighbourhood options, I’m always happy to help. No pressure, no confusing jargon, and yes… plenty of cat analogies if needed 😺

My name is Jason Luke and I am a real estate agent at RE/MAX Core Realty in Prince George, and as such, my goal is to build long term relationships and to provide the best possible real estate service to my clients and help any of their family and friends they introduce me to. I strive to be known in the industry and our community as caring, industrious, and informative. I believe I am only successful if my clients are truly happy with their real estate purchase.

I have been a real estate agent for the past 20 years. I also have several years managerial and ownership experience in the service and entertainment business, including owning a Mongolie Grill Restaurant, a Yuk Yuk’s Comedy franchise, 3 nightclubs and a Record Recording Company. I have accomplished five years of University education, including the Business Management program at Kwantlen University College, and The Real Estate Trading Services program at The University of British Columbia.

I am only one of the few Realtors in British Columbia designated a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, working with seniors with patience and care while they go through the real estate process. I am also versed in the following areas: Relocations and Transfers, Downsizing Specialist, Title searching, Legal Update, Foreclosures and Court Ordered Sales. I also continually seek out training seminars, reading and video materials, and relevant real estate education courses.

I have been married for over 25 years and have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy. I enjoy volunteering my time with my kids sports and in the hockey community. I coach my youngest daughters team, and play hockey myself. I am involved in sponsoring many sports teams and do a large part of that in hockey.

I spend an equal amount of time with my clients. I only work with a few clients at a time to ensure them my full attention. A realtor that has a large team with several listings, administrative assistants, and buyer’s agents, cannot give you their full attention and in most cases, you won’t even work with the “Big Agent” you hired, but rather their hired buyer’s agent.

I will be there to assist you throughout the selling process, when you move into your new home, and even after you have moved in! I will keep in contact with you and make sure I answer any future questions you may have. My websites are also filled with educational information that you may find helpful at PrinceGeorgeHouseHunter.com and jasonluke.ca.

Good news from the BC housing market 👋

The latest November stats show a market that’s balancing out — and that’s a good thing.

• Average price: $965,914

• Active listings: 38,895 homes available, up 9.1%

• Sales-to-active listings ratio: 13%

• More choice for buyers, steady ground for sellers

Translation? 🏡

More listings mean buyers can breathe a little easier, while prices holding steady means the market isn’t wobbling. This is a healthier, more predictable market — and that’s where smart decisions shine.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching from the sidelines with a coffee and a cat 🐈☕, having local insight matters more than ever.

When people say “leave it all to the cat”… sometimes they mean it 😺💰

True story: a Roman cat had millions set aside just to make sure it was cared for for life. No job, no mortgage stress, just naps, snacks, and someone else handling the paperwork. Must be nice, right?

While I can’t promise your cat a trust fund (yet), I can help make sure your home plans are set up purr-fectly for whatever life stage you’re in — downsizing, upsizing, or planning ahead so everything lands on its feet 🐾🏡

If you’ve been keeping an eye on real estate headlines lately, you might expect nothing but doom and gloom. But when you look closer — especially here in Northern BC — the story is actually a pretty pawsitive one 🐾🏡

According to November market stats, the average home price in Northern BC sits at $437,726, up 4.5% year over year. That steady price growth is great news for homeowners and shows continued confidence in our region’s housing market.

What really stands out is value. While markets like the Okanagan and Kamloops continue to see much higher average prices, Northern BC remains one of the most affordable places to buy a home in the province. For buyers, that means more house for your money. For sellers, it means strong interest from people looking to put down roots in a community that still offers real value.

Sales activity also remains solid, with 262 homes sold across the region in November. That tells us buyers are active, motivated, and still moving forward with their plans — even as the market adjusts.

The big takeaway? Northern BC continues to be a stable, attractive place to buy and sell. Prices are holding, demand is there, and our market isn’t seeing the extreme swings happening elsewhere. That kind of balance is exactly what many buyers and sellers are looking for.

If you’re wondering what these trends mean specifically for Prince George or your own home, I’m always happy to talk it through — no pressure, just good info and a few cat-like instincts to help you land on your feet 😺
