In February, the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) said that there has been some holding back from buyers due to uncertainty around tariffs. 

VIREB CEO Jason Yochim reports that sales of all property types in February were unchanged from one year ago.

“Open houses are busy, phones are ringing, and realtors are showing homes, but some buyers are holding back, which we attribute to the economic uncertainty unleashed by threatened American tariffs that have now become a reality,” says Yochim.

Yochim adds that real estate on the Island may be exempt due to the demographic of homebuyers. 

“However, forecasts indicate that British Columbia won’t be affected as much as other parts of Canada. Vancouver Island is also somewhat insulated from any unpredictability around mortgage rates due to its large population of retirees, many of whom don’t require mortgages.”
