## Stable Sales Activity

HonestDoor reported 46 sales in Northfield for the period ending September 30, 2026. This figure represents all property types within the neighbourhood boundary as defined by the source. The observation was collected on September 29, 2026, and reflects transactions closed during that month. No prior period comparison is available in the supplied records to assess momentum.

A subsequent report dated October 10, 2026, also lists 46 sales for Northfield. This identical count suggests consistent transaction activity across the two adjacent months. Without price or inventory data, the stability of volume cannot be interpreted as a signal of buyer confidence or seller urgency. The neighbourhood remains at a steady state in terms of closed deals.

## Local Amenity Profile

Eighty amenity points are mapped within Northfield, with parks forming the largest category at 20 locations. Transit stops number 40, indicating multiple access points along major corridors such as Bowen Road and Meredith Road. Schools include Forest Park Elementary School, Woodlands Secondary School, and Nanaimo Christian School. These counts reflect mapped presence only and do not confirm catchment boundaries or service quality.

Recreation facilities total 12, including Beban Park Pool, Frank Crane Arena, and Cliff McNabb Arena. Three grocery stores serve the area: Country Grocer, Quality Foods, and Sabzi Mandi Supermarket. One childcare centre, CEFA Early Learning, is also mapped. The density of these points supports daily living needs, but no evidence links them to specific buyer preferences or demand patterns.
