BC Assessment Predicts Price Growth for Nelson and Beyond

As real estate activity continues to evolve in Nelson and throughout the West Kootenay region, many homeowners and investors are wondering what the next year could bring. A recent article by Sarah Lord for My Nelson Now offers valuable insight into current projections from BC Assessment, which suggest that property values across the Kootenays are expected to rise by up to 10% in 2025.

According to the report, Nelson and Salmo are forecasted to see increases of approximately 2%, while Castlegar, Fruitvale, Montrose, and Silverton could experience more substantial gains of 3–6%. These figures highlight continued confidence in our region’s real estate market, particularly among buyers seeking affordability, lifestyle, and long-term value.

This regional growth is driven by factors such as interprovincial migration, strong demand for lifestyle-oriented communities, and a steady interest in both primary residences and investment properties. While the projected increase in Nelson is more modest, it reflects the city's already solid position in the market, where price growth has been consistent over the past few years.

Whether you're considering selling, buying, or holding, understanding where the market is headed can help you plan with confidence. You can read the full article by Sarah Lord here:👉 Kootenay Property Values Predicted to Rise in 2025
