## Park Presence in Duke Point

Two park points are attributed to Duke Point in the supplied dataset. These include Jack Point and Biggs Park, which is listed with a source locator. The second point is Harmac Arboretum, also categorized as a park within the neighbourhood scope. Both entries derive from OpenStreetMap Overpass API data retained in the source ledger.

The presence of these two parks establishes a baseline for green space mapping in the area. However, the data does not specify distances, accessibility, or the condition of these facilities. Consequently, the count reflects mapped points rather than verified amenities or resident usage patterns. This limitation prevents any conclusion about the impact on property values or lifestyle appeal. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The amenity data confirms only point locations and does not establish access, quality, or buyer demand. Sources:

## City market context

From the Nanaimo market article, 22 September 2026:

Nanaimo's September 2026 housing market reports a 0% absorption rate with one sale against 833 active listings. This extreme buyer's market condition reflects a significant divergence from earlier 2026 months where sales volumes were higher. Nanaimo's September 2026 market shows a Sales to Active Listings Ratio of 0%, with only one recorded sale against 833 active listings. This extreme buyer's market condition is supported by three independent sources measuring city-level transactions and inventory.
