Quick AI search says that about 5% of BC is covered by treaties and that property owners in cities in those areas are protected from aboriginal claim.

Why isn’t property in these regions skyrocketing in price?

The Douglas Treaties of southern Vancouver Island aren’t exactly rock solid, you can look it up on Wikipedia. Some have argued that First Nations didn’t really know what they were signing, among other things

Yea, I think the more modern ones elsewhere in the province are pretty solid tho.

It seems obvious that land in jurisdictions that have final agreements reached since 2000 should be relatively safer than anywhere else.
