🌲 **More Than Real Estate. A Legacy of Stewardship.**

At **Pemberton Holmes**, we've been helping shape Vancouver Island communities for more than 138 years. But our history isn't just about buying and selling homes—it's also about protecting the places that make this Island so special.

Did you know that one of our early leaders, **F.B. Pemberton**, was an advocate for preserving some of Vancouver Island's most treasured natural areas, including what is now **Cathedral Grove**? Later generations of the Holmes family continued that legacy by championing parks, farmland, greenbelts, and thoughtful community planning.

It's a reminder that real estate isn't just about property—it's about caring for the communities and landscapes we call home.

Take a few minutes to read this fascinating piece on the conservation history behind Pemberton Holmes and discover how a commitment to Vancouver Island has extended far beyond real estate.

💚 We're proud to be part of a company whose values have stood the test of time.

📊 **July 2026 Market Statistics | Vancouver Island Real Estate Board**

July brought a continuation of the balanced market we've been seeing across Vancouver Island. While buyers had more homes to choose from, sales activity slowed compared to last summer, and benchmark prices remained steady.

Here's how **July 2026** compares to **July 2025**:

🔹 **Active Listings:** 4,598
⬆️ **+2%**

🔹 **Units Sold:** 707
⬇️ **-11%**

💰 **Benchmark Prices (Vancouver Island):**

🏡 **Single Family Homes:** $794,500
⬆️ **+0.7%**

🏘 **Row & Townhomes:** $548,900
⬇️ **-0.3%**

🏢 **Condos & Apartments:** $407,300
⬆️ **+0.9%**

📈 **What does this mean?**

July's numbers tell an interesting story. While fewer homes sold compared to last year, benchmark prices have remained remarkably stable. With inventory continuing to edge upward, buyers are benefiting from more selection and less urgency, while sellers are finding that well-priced, well-marketed homes are still attracting attention.

This isn't a market that's slowing down—it's a market that's becoming more balanced. That creates opportunities for both buyers and sellers who have the right strategy.

Whether you're considering a move this year or just keeping an eye on the market, understanding these trends can help you make informed decisions.

📩 If you'd like to know what's happening specifically in **Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, Bowser, or the surrounding Oceanside communities**, I'd be happy to provide a local market update.
