Here is the historical data for the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) for the years 1995 - 2012.
In the table below, there is a single asterisk (*) beside the years 2005 and 2006. Each annual report compares the sales data with the previous year and with the 2006 annual report the Board must have decided to change the way it tallied sales because the sales numbers for 2005 jumped significantly compared to the actual 2005 annual report. Then in 2007 the sales total for 2006 were significantly lower than the actual 2006 report indicating to me that the VIREB went back to its old tally method. Therefore, I decided to ignore the data for the year 2006 - I went with the sales data in the 2005 and 2007 annual reports for the years 2005 and 2006.
The double asterisk (**) denotes name changes - the Duncan area was renamed Cowichan Valley and West Coast was added to Port Alberni. This change occurred in 2007.
Beginning in 2003, the VIREB adds the following note to its Annual Sales data:
The Board Totals figures also include: Zone 7-North Island, Zone 9-Out of Board Properties, and Zone 10-Islands figures which are not listed separately in this table.
Here is the VIREB Historical Average Sales Price for the same years.
