This trend is more apparent with waterfront homes in North Nanaimo as the average $sqft has increased by under 1%.
In North Nanaimo, a levelling off of demand has increased the average days on Market (DOM)for a newly listed home from just over two weeks to days in 2017 to slightly over four weeks in 2018.
