We’re officially halfway through 2026, and the Fort St. John real estate market has continued to show steady activity through the second quarter.
As we moved from spring into summer, more homes came onto the market, giving buyers more options. At the same time, sales also increased, showing that buyer demand remained strong across the region.
In Q2, Fort St. John saw 307 active listings, 204 homes sold, and an average of 38 days on market. Compared to the first quarter, this shows a noticeable increase in activity and a faster-moving market overall.
Looking at Q1 compared to Q2, active listings increased from 223 to 307, while homes sold rose from 115 to 204. Average days on market also dropped from 66 to 38 days, which tells us that homes are moving quicker than they were earlier in the year.
What this means is that while buyers had more selection in Q2, well-priced homes continued to attract attention and move steadily. The market remains relatively balanced, but with stronger buyer activity heading into summer.
For sellers, this is a good reminder that pricing, presentation, and marketing still matter. Homes that show well and are priced correctly are standing out. For buyers, having more inventory creates opportunity, but the best properties are still moving quickly.
As summer continues in Fort St. John and the Peace Region, it’s a great time to stay connected to the local market, whether you’re thinking about making a move or simply keeping an eye on what your home may be worth.
Enjoy your summer, keep it local, and make the most of everything our community has to offer.
