Victoria real estate activity tempered by political and economic uncertainty
A total of 642 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this April, 5.3 per cent fewer than the 678 properties sold in April 2024 but 4.7 per cent more than in March 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 10.1 per cent from April 2024 with 187 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 0.6 per cent from April 2024 with 335 sold.
“While sales were up from March, activity in April was most likely impacted by events in play well beyond our immediate real estate market,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “Political uncertainty associated with the federal election, combined with broader economic concerns stemming from the United States tempered our spring market growth. And yet like last month, despite these external factors, the Victoria market demonstrated continued stability, as evidenced by flat price growth and steady inventory levels.”
There were 3,425 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of April 2025, an increase of 13.3 per cent compared to the previous month of March and a 13.5 per cent increase from the 3,017 active listings for sale at the end of April 2024.

Victoria real estate market stable in the face of uncertainty
A total of 613 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this March, 4.3 per cent more than the 588 properties sold in March 2024 and 16.1 per cent more than in February 2025. Sales of condominiums were up 14.1 per cent from March 2024 with 202 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 2.1 per cent from March 2024 with 292 sold.
“The economic uncertainty the world faces right now certainly colours our local real estate market,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “In spite of this, our market remains as it has in recent months – stable and balanced. Inventory levels this past month held steady at over three thousand listings, which meant that there was a good amount of selection for buyers, while relatively flat pricing meant more predictability for sellers and buyers.”
There were 3,023 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of March 2025, an increase of 14.9 per cent compared to the previous month of February and an 14.2 per cent increase from the 2,647 active listings for sale at the end of March 2024. “As in past months, the balanced market in March softened the demand-side pressures of markets we’ve seen in recent years. There is more time for decision making, which is a positive aspect for both sellers and buyers,” adds Chair VanderWal.
“Thoughtfully priced and presented homes are selling well and we do see instances of multiple offers, which is often a hallmark of the spring market. For the best outcomes in your property search or sale, connect with your favourite local REALTOR® to navigate the current market.

February a steady month for Greater Victoria buyers and sellers
A total of 528 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this February, 12.3 per cent more than the 470 properties sold in February 2024 and 25.1 per cent more than in January 2025. Sales of condominiums were up 26.3 per cent from February 2024 with 192 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 4.5 per cent from February 2024 with 234 sold.
“February was another stable month for local real estate,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “The combination of slowly growing inventory and slightly increased sales means that our market remains in balance from the start of the year, which creates comfortable conditions for both buyers and sellers. Nearly two years of steady prices combined with recent favourable interest rates are positive factors for our market. Thus far, 2025 has been a good year to buy and sell.”
There were 2,630 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of February 2025, an increase of 9.8 per cent compared to the previous month of January and an 11.3 per cent increase from the 2,364 active listings for sale at the end of February 2024.

2024 Victoria real estate market year in review
A total of 421 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this December, 28 per cent more than the 329 properties sold in December 2023 and a 23.6 per cent decrease from November 2024. Sales of condominiums were up 25 per cent from December 2023 with 135 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased 20.9 per cent from December 2023 with 191 sold.
A grand total of 6,893 properties sold over the course of 2024, an 11 per cent increase from the 6,207 sold in 2023.
“2024 was a fairly calm year for local real estate,” said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Laurie Lidstone. “And this is what we like to see for consumers! It has been a year of stability and predictability. Prices have been relatively level for the past two years now, which has made it easier for buyers and sellers to navigate transactions with confidence. Even though 2024 had more months with over 3,000 listings than we have had in many years, we do continue to see low inventory levels when compared to long term averages. If inventory remains low and we see an increase in demand, we could very quickly return to a market where there is upward pressure on pricing. This is why the Board will continue to advocate for gentle density development in 2025.”

A warm start to winter sales in the Victoria real estate market
A total of 551 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this November, 39.8 per cent more than the 394 properties sold in November 2023 and a 15.7 per cent decrease from October 2024. Sales of condominiums were up 55 per cent from November 2023 with 186 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 36.3 per cent from November 2023 with 263 sold.
“I’ve found that buyers and sellers are feeling optimistic right now,” said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Laurie Lidstone. “With the steady decrease we’ve seen in interest rates and the continued balance in the market, consumers are feeling more comfortable and empowered to make the big decisions around home ownership knowing that they have a fairly stable real estate environment to navigate.”
There were 2,836 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of November 2024, a decrease of 10.3 per cent compared to the previous month of October and a 7.3 per cent increase from the 2,644 active listings for sale at the end of November 2023.

Victoria market exceeds expectations but remains balanced
A total of 654 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this October, 60.7 per cent more than the 407 properties sold in October 2023 and a 14.5 per cent increase from September 2024. Sales of condominiums were up 32.6 per cent from October 2023 with 187 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 76.2 per cent from October 2023 with 340 sold.
“Sales did increase notably over last year, but it’s important to include some context,” said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair-Elect Dirk VanderWal. “October 2023 saw the fewest sales in that month since 2008, which distorts a year-over-year comparison; in fact, last month’s sales count was almost exactly on the ten-year average for the month. With that context, although we’ve certainly seen a notable increase in sales month over month, this does signal a return to a more average market for this time of year. The number of homes available on the market has remained relatively consistent, which has also created the benefit of a more balanced market for buyers and sellers, even with the increase in sales numbers.”
There were 3,161 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of October 2024, a decrease of 6 per cent compared to the previous month of September and a 14.7 per cent increase from the 2,756 active listings for sale at the end of October 2023.

Victoria real estate market current conditions benefit buyers and sellers
A total of 571 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this September, 15.8 per cent more than the 493 properties sold in September 2023 and a 4.8 per cent increase from August 2024. Sales of condominiums were up 21.9 per cent from September 2023 with 189 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 19.3 per cent from September 2023 with 272 sold.
“The real estate market in Victoria right now is much more stable and more predictable than it has been in recent years,” said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Laurie Lidstone. “We have seen a few solid months of near-balance in the market, which means it’s neither a seller’s nor a buyer’s market and positives exist for both sides of a transaction. With downward trending interest rates and stable pricing combined with more inventory on the market, our current conditions are the most comfortable for consumers to navigate that I’ve seen in a few years.”
There were 3,361 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of September 2024, an increase of 5.3 per cent compared to the previous month of August and a 24.5 per cent increase from the 2,699 active listings for sale at the end of September 2023.

Victoria’s summer real estate market meets seasonal expectations
A total of 545 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this August, 0.2 per cent more than the 544 properties sold in August 2023 and a 16.5 per cent decrease from July 2024. Sales of condominiums were up 10.4 per cent from August 2023 with 181 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 7.7 per cent from August 2023 with 252 sold.
“The final month of the summer is generally a rather relaxed one in terms of real estate sales and listings,” said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Laurie Lidstone. “Many folks pause their home shopping activities or pause their sales listing to make the most of other summer activities and vacations. It’s no surprise that sales this year were so close to the sales from 2023 and that listings declined slightly from the number we saw in July.”
There were 3,191 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of August 2024, a decrease of 4.7 per cent compared to the previous month of July and a 28.2 per cent increase from the 2,490 active listings for sale at the end of August 2023.

Victoria housing market remains steady for buyers and sellers over summer
A total of 650 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this July, 9.2 per cent more than the 595 properties sold in July 2023 and a 1.7 per cent decrease from June 2024. Sales of condominiums were up 6.5 per cent from July 2023 with 213 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 8.9 percent from July 2023 with 319 sold.
“The month of July delivered another steady month of sales and listings, as we’d expect for an average summer season in our market,” said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Laurie Lidstone. “The sales in
July tracked very closely to June numbers, which may have surprised some who expected that summer vacations would take more buyers out of the market. We did see inventory shrink a little from the previous month. This is not unusual for this time of year, but it is a trend we’ll keep an eye on because inventory levels are crucial to keeping our market balanced.”
There were 3,348 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the
end of July 2024, a decrease of 3.2 per cent compared to the previous month of June and a 38.4 per cent
increase from the 2,419 active listings for sale at the end of July 2023.
