Strong demand for recreational property all over BC, especially waterfront lots, helped propel property values on the islands to their highest level in many years, perhaps ever.
According to BC Assessment, which mails out assessment notices every January to property owners, most real estate on the Charlottes has increased in value significantly over the past year.
“Most homes on the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) are worth more on this year’s assessment roll than they were on the 2007 assessment roll,”
