Qualicum Real Estate

The Qualicum real estate market sees a wide range of properties and property types. When it comes to percentages, duplexes make up only a small amount of listings on the market, and are often located in Qualicum Beach, the largest community in the area. Duplexes for sale in Qualicum are built in West Coast and ranch style primarily, as they are typically older homes—most of which have been built in the 1980s and 1990s. However, their desirability lies in their substantially-sized lots, modern interior upgrades, and convenient locations. Duplexes in this area are almost always sold full duplexes, with square footage (of the entire property) falling between 1,300 square feet and 2,800 square feet.

Qualicum Duplexes Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the cost of a Qualicum duplex compare to a single-family home?

A: The average price of a full duplex and a single-family detached home in Qualicum are about the same. While the square footage is divided into two units, a duplex offers income potential, where a detached property does not.

Q: What is an HRV and do all duplexes come with one?

A: HRV stands for "heat recovery ventilator", which provides fresh air inside of the house, taken from outside. Not all duplexes have this, but some property owners have installed this for the well-being of their tenants.

Q: When purchasing a duplex, how common are exiting tenants?

A: This is something that is dependent on the property and the old property owner. Sometimes, when purchasing a duplex, the property will already be tenanted, however sometimes this is not the case.
