As housing affordability continues to challenge many across British Columbia, Courtenay remains a desirable location for both families and retirees seeking a balance of lifestyle and value. However, with interest rates still elevated and rental demand increasing, buyers are looking for ways to make homeownership more sustainable—and adding a secondary suite is one of the best options.
A suite can significantly offset mortgage payments, providing monthly rental income while also increasing the overall value of your property. Whether it’s for a long-term tenant, a family member, or a short-term rental (subject to local bylaws), homes with legal suites are in high demand.
In Courtenay, we’re seeing more buyers prioritize income potential, especially those entering the market for the first time or downsizing but wanting flexibility. With limited rental inventory, a suite also gives you a unique advantage in today's competitive market—making your property more appealing now and into the future.
