# Prince George housing: rent and home prices

What it costs to rent or buy in Prince George, how many homes there are, and how fast new ones are being built.

**What these numbers tell you**

Use the dates and coverage notes to compare like with like. Advertised rents, rents paid by existing tenants and assessed property values describe different parts of the housing market.

## Terms explained

- **Median**: The middle value, rather than the average.
- **Vacancy rate**: The share of rental units counted as vacant in the source survey.
- **Housing starts**: New homes where construction has started; these are not necessarily ready to occupy.

### Provincial housing target

BC's Housing Target Order asks the city to complete at least 1,803 net new homes in five years from August 2024 (75% of the 2,404 the Province estimates are needed).

Five-year target 663 / 1,803

- Year 1 (Aug 2024 to Jul 2025) 284 of 273
  104% of the year's target met
- Year 2 (Aug 2025 to Jul 2026) 379 of 302
  125% of the year's target met

Net new units: move-in-ready units completed minus units lost through demolition.

## Affordability

By BC standards Prince George is affordable: incomes are above the provincial median and homes cost about half as much. That doesn't mean it's easy for everyone, especially renters. Sums are shown so you can check them.

### Home value to income, 2021

4.5×

BC: 9.2× ($785,000 ÷ $85,000)

$400,000 median home value ÷ $88,000 median household income = 4.55

Both from the same census, so they line up. Lenders often treat 3 to 5 times income as the comfortable range.

Statistics Canada, 2021 Census; income is for 2020

### Sale price to income, 2025

6.1×

$537,028 average detached sale price (2025) ÷ $88,000 median household income (2020) = 6.10

Mixes a current price with a 2020 income, the latest available for the city, so it overstates the ratio somewhat.

BC Northern Real Estate Board (MLS®); Statistics Canada, 2021 Census

### Income needed to rent a 2-bedroom

$56,880

1 bedroom: $48,560

$1,422 × 12 months ÷ 30% = $56,880 a year

Based on the common rule that rent should take no more than 30% of gross household income.

CMHC Rental Market Survey, October 2025

### Average 2-bedroom rent as a share of median income

19.4%

$1,422 × 12 = $17,064 ÷ $88,000 = 19.4%

Uses the median of all households. Renter households typically earn well below the overall median, so their share is higher.

CMHC Rental Market Survey, October 2025; Statistics Canada, 2021 Census

### Households paying 30% or more on shelter

15.7%

Renters 29.1% (BC 37.8%) · owners 9.5% (BC 19.3%)

4,990 ÷ 31,705 households = 15.7% (BC 25.5%)

Shelter costs include rent or mortgage, property tax, condo fees and utilities.

Statistics Canada, 2021 Census; income is for 2020

### Households in core housing need

7.1%

Renters 17% · owners 2.5% · BC 13.4%

2,215 ÷ 31,260 households = 7.1%

A home that is too costly, crowded or in need of major repairs, where the household couldn't afford an acceptable local alternative.

Statistics Canada, 2021 Census

### Monthly shelter costs, 2021

| Measure | Prince George | BC |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Median, owners | $1,260 | $1,320 |
| Median, renters | $1,020 | $1,370 |
| Median household income (2020) | $88,000 | $85,000 |

Owners' costs include mortgage payments, property tax, condo fees and utilities; renters' include rent and any utilities they pay. Census shelter costs cover all renters, including long-time tenants, so they sit below CMHC’s current average rents.
