Buyers Have the Wheel: More Choice, Softer Prices, and a Market That Rewards Patience

June is traditionally one of the busiest months in real estate, and while we did see 719 total sales across Greater Victoria, the pace has clearly moderated compared to last year. That total is 5.5 per cent below the 761 sales recorded in June 2025, though it edges just slightly above May’s 713. The story of this market continues to be one of choice: with 4,054 active listings at month end — up 7.3 per cent year-over-year — buyers are in no rush and are shopping carefully. Benchmark prices for both single family homes and condos in the Victoria Core drifted lower, down 0.6 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively from a year ago.


On the ground, I’m seeing well-prepared homes in desirable locations still attract strong interest and multiple viewings, but the days of unconditional offers within hours of listing are firmly behind us. In Oak Bay and along the waterfront, quality and presentation matter more than ever. Properties that are priced right and show well are moving; the rest are sitting. Sellers who invest in staging and accurate pricing are the ones getting results. For buyers, this is the most favourable negotiating environment in years.


“The second quarter of 2026 continues the trend we’ve been reporting over the past months as inventory levels have gradually increased and created more choice for consumers. Our market remains active and balanced, but we’re no longer operating in the low-inventory environment that drove intense competition and pressure on pricing during the pandemic years. Today’s buyers have more options and more time to make informed decisions.” — Fergus Kyne, Chair, Victoria Real Estate Board


Sales Activity


A total of 719 properties sold in June, down 5.5 per cent from June 2025’s 761 and up a hair from May 2026’s 713. The property-type breakdown tells an interesting story: single family home sales of 388 were off only 3.5 per cent year-over-year, while condo sales of 182 plunged 26.9 per cent from last June’s 249. Townhouse sales, by contrast, surged 25.3 per cent to 94 from just 75 a year ago. The condo slowdown is the headline — with inventory up 12 per cent in that segment and new purpose-built rentals entering the market, condo buyers are taking their time. Townhouses, meanwhile, continue to benefit from the “missing middle” supply gap: demand is strong and new product is limited.

Inventory &amp; Market Balance


Active listings ended June at 4,054 — up 0.6 per cent from May’s 4,029 and 7.3 per cent above the 3,778 listings on the market a year ago. That’s the highest June inventory figure we’ve seen in several years, and it’s fundamentally shifting the dynamic between buyers and sellers. At a sales-to-active-listings ratio sitting in the 17–28 per cent balanced range, the BCREA would call this a balanced market — but the trajectory is clearly favouring buyers. Months of inventory continue to creep up, giving purchasers the luxury of comparison shopping and the confidence to include subject conditions. For sellers, this means your property isn’t just competing with a handful of similar listings — it may be competing with dozens.

Benchmark Prices


The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark for a single family home in the Victoria Core slipped to $1,326,500 in June — down 0.6 per cent from last June’s $1,334,500 and down from May’s $1,339,000. Core condos saw a steeper decline: the benchmark fell 1.9 per cent year-over-year to $549,200 from $559,900, easing from May’s $551,400. The condo correction reflects the combination of rising inventory and new rental supply that’s giving buyers alternatives. Townhouses across the region saw their Core benchmark at $841,200 — essentially flat year-over-year — a testament to continuing strong demand for that middle-market product.


In Oak Bay, the single family benchmark stands at $1,846,800 — essentially unchanged from a year ago and reflecting the enduring premium that buyers place on the municipality’s character homes, school catchments, and proximity to the waterfront. Across the broader region, Greater Victoria’s single family benchmark sits at $1,174,100 (down 0.5 per cent year-over-year), while Westshore comes in at $1,023,400 (down 1.8 per cent) — still offering one of the most affordable single family entry points in the core Capital Region. On the Peninsula, single family benchmarks rose 1.3 per cent to $1,282,000, bucking the regional trend.

Where the Action Was: Sales by Municipality


Greater Victoria’s neighbourhoods don’t move as one. The table below breaks down every residential transaction recorded in June by municipality — split by property type — and grouped by area. The colour intensity on each unit count reflects relative activity: green is lower activity, red is highest.


One deliberate choice in how this data is presented: Victoria and Victoria West are reported separately, even though VREB’s Mark I table combines them. The Johnson Street Bridge is a genuine boundary for buyers — someone drawn to Vic West’s waterfront proximity, walkability, and converted industrial character is making a fundamentally different decision than a buyer focused on Victoria’s downtown condo towers or heritage neighbourhoods. The figures here are drawn from the Mark II table, which segregates the two areas.


Waterfront properties across all districts are shown as a single row, as VREB does not attribute them back to individual municipalities in their published data.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers


If you’re buying


This is the strongest buyer environment since before the pandemic. With 4,054 active listings and sales down 5.5 per cent year-over-year, you have time and leverage. Condo buyers in particular will find the most options — inventory in that segment is up 12 per cent from last year, and the benchmark is down nearly 2 per cent. Use subject conditions, get your inspections done, and compare properties carefully. Townhouses remain the most competitive segment with a 25 per cent jump in sales, so if you’re targeting that category, be prepared to move a little more quickly. In every case, working with a REALTOR® who knows the neighbourhood-level dynamics will save you money and stress.


If you’re selling


Preparation has never been more important. With inventory at 4,054 listings — levels we haven’t seen in several years — your home is competing with a deeper pool of alternatives. Properties that are accurately priced from day one, well staged, and professionally marketed are still selling within a reasonable timeframe. But overpriced listings are languishing. The average days-on-market for single family residential sits at 36 days. If your home has been on the market longer than that without meaningful interest, it may be time for a pricing conversation. Remember: the benchmark for a Core single family home has slipped from $1,339,000 in May to $1,326,500 in June. The market is telling us what it will pay.


The waterfront and Oak Bay micro-market


Waterfront properties across all districts saw 42 transactions in June, generating $63.4 million in total volume and averaging $1.51 million per sale. That average reflects a broad range — from waterfront condos to oceanfront estates — but the volume confirms continued appetite for Victoria’s signature lifestyle. In Oak Bay, 29 properties changed hands, overwhelmingly single family (23 of 29), at an average of $1.88 million per sale. The Oak Bay single family benchmark of $1,846,800 remains the highest in the VREB region, reflecting the premium buyers attach to the village character, heritage homes, and walkable schools that define this community. If you’re considering a move in this micro-market, hyperlocal knowledge makes all the difference — I’d love to walk you through what’s happening on your specific street.

Spring Has Sprung — and So Has Inventory: What Record Supply Means for You

May brought the spring market everyone was waiting for — but it arrived on buyers’ terms. A total of 713 properties sold across Greater Victoria, down 5.9 from the 758 that traded hands a year ago, yet up a healthy 10.9 from April’s 643 sales. The headline story? Active listings hit 4,029 at month-end, the most inventory on the MLS® in eleven years. That supply-side shift is giving buyers breathing room they haven’t had in over a decade.


On the ground in Oak Bay and the Core, I’m seeing exactly what the data suggests: well-prepared buyers are taking their time, touring multiple homes, and negotiating with more leverage. Meanwhile, sellers who price accurately from day one are still getting strong results — while those who test the market with aspirational pricing are sitting. The gap between the two outcomes is wider than I’ve seen in a long time.


“There’s no more waiting – the spring market is here. With the most inventory for sale that our market has had in eleven years, we’re seeing buyers take advantage of the many homes to choose from. Buyer expectations around pricing and features have changed with market conditions and they have more time to make decisions and are viewing more properties. To meet buyer demands, motivated sellers need to enter the market with competitive pricing and an understanding of their property’s value in the current environment.” — Fergus Kyne, Chair, Victoria Real Estate Board


Sales Activity


Single family homes accounted for 385 sales in May, down 4 from the 401 that sold last May. Condos saw a sharper pullback: 188 units changed hands, a 14.9 decline from the 221 condo sales in May 2025. The townhouse segment moved in the opposite direction with 98 sales, up 8.9 year-over-year from 90. The condo market feels the weight of new inventory most directly — condo active listings are up 12 year-over-year and the sell-list ratio has dropped to 36 from 46 last May. Townhouses, by contrast, remain relatively tight with strong buyer interest, particularly in the Westshore where new-build product continues to attract young families.

Inventory &amp; Market Balance


Active listings climbed to 4,029 at the end of May, up 8.6 from the 3,710 available in April and 8.4 higher than the 3,716 on the market at the end of May 2025. With 690 residential sales against that inventory, the sales-to-active-listings ratio sits at roughly 17 — right at the threshold between a balanced market and a buyers’ market according to the BC Real Estate Association’s framework. For context, that ratio was running well above 20 for most of 2024. The shift is real: buyers now have nearly six months of supply in several property types, which means negotiation leverage has moved meaningfully in their direction.

Benchmark Prices


In the Victoria Core, the MLS® HPI benchmark for a single family home edged up 0.3 year-over-year to $1,339,000 from $1,335,500 — essentially flat. On a month-over-month basis it ticked down $100 from April’s $1,339,100. Core condo benchmarks fell more noticeably: down 1.9 to $551,400 from $562,100 a year ago, and down from April’s $558,300. The townhouse benchmark in the Core held at $836,800, down from last May’s $853,000. Overall, prices are stable to slightly softening — which is exactly what you’d expect with inventory at an 11-year high and a sales-to-listings ratio near the balanced-market boundary.


In Oak Bay, the single family benchmark sits at $1,857,900 — the highest of any sub-area on the board and up from $1,852,500 a year ago. Demand for character homes on larger lots in this neighbourhood remains remarkably resilient. Across the broader region, Greater Victoria’s single family benchmark is $1,181,700 (virtually flat year-over-year from $1,181,300), while the Westshore came in at $1,028,100, down 2.8 from $1,057,700 last May — reflecting the price sensitivity in that more first-time-buyer-heavy market. The Peninsula single family benchmark rose 4.3 to $1,292,000, making it the strongest-performing sub-region for detached homes.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers


If you're buying


This is the most favourable buying environment we’ve seen since 2015. With 4,029 active listings to choose from, you have genuine selection — and the data backs up the shift in leverage. The sales-to-active-listings ratio at roughly 17 puts us right at the edge of a buyers’ market. Condos in particular are offering value: the Core benchmark has dropped 1.9 year-over-year and days on market have crept up. Take your time, view broadly, and negotiate confidently — but don’t mistake patience for passivity. Well-priced homes in desirable locations, especially single family homes in Saanich East (121 sales this month) and Langford (92 sales), are still moving at a solid pace.


If you're selling


Pricing strategy is everything right now. The 11-year inventory high means your home is competing against more alternatives than at any point in recent memory. Sellers who entered the market in May with competitive pricing saw results — the overall sell-to-list ratio remains at 97, meaning well-positioned homes are selling near asking. But overpriced listings are languishing: days on market have climbed to 42 from 38 a year ago. Work closely with your REALTOR® to benchmark against recent comparable sales, not aspirational pricing. A clean, well-staged home priced at fair market value will still attract buyers in this environment.


The waterfront and Oak Bay micro-market


Waterfront properties across all districts accounted for 39 sales totalling $67.0M in May — an average of $1.72M per transaction. This is a market that operates by its own rules: inventory is limited, emotional value is high, and buyer pools are often international or interprovincial. In Oak Bay specifically, 29 residential transactions closed for a combined $52.6M, with an average sale price of $1.82M. The Oak Bay single family benchmark of $1,857,900 continues to outpace every other sub-area on the Board, reflecting persistent demand for the neighbourhood’s character homes, walkable village, and ocean-adjacent lifestyle. If you own waterfront or Oak Bay property and have been contemplating a move, this remains one of the segments where seller positioning is strongest.

April delivered exactly what the spring market needed: steady activity, growing inventory, and prices holding firm without the pressure we saw during the frenetic years of 2021-2022. A total of 643 properties changed hands across Greater Victoria last month — virtually identical to the 642 sales we recorded in April 2025, and up 11.1 from March's 579 transactions. This is a market that's functioning, not lurching.


What I'm seeing on the ground matches the numbers. Buyers are out in force at open houses, particularly for well-priced properties in the $900K to $1.4M range. But they're also discerning — overpriced listings are sitting, while realistic sellers are finding qualified buyers within reasonable timeframes. The 3,710 active listings give buyers genuine choice without overwhelming the market into distress territory.


&quot;The overall market in Greater Victoria continues to remain in balance. Inventory levels are staying strong, and new listings coming onto market in recent weeks will help serve our traditionally busy spring season. The collective track record from the past several months of balance and stability in our market is likely underpinning the confidence of buyers and sellers this season. Current not-too-hot and not-too-cold conditions are setting the stage for a very reasonable spring market for consumers. It's a Goldilocks real estate market leading into our busier months – and there is choice, inventory is diverse, there is a wide range of properties at different price points, and interest by buyers is also brisk. Of course, your experience can vary depending on where and what type of property you seek in our area, which consists of many different micro-markets. If you're considering a move this spring season, it's a great time to connect with your favourite local REALTOR® to weigh your options.&quot; — Fergus Kyne, Chair, Victoria Real Estate Board


Sales Activity


The property-type breakdown tells an interesting story this April. Single family homes recorded 331 sales, down 1.2 from last year's 335 — essentially flat. Condominiums showed more life with 198 sales, a 5.9 increase over April 2025's 187 units. Townhouses came in at 78 sales, down modestly from 79 last year. The condo strength suggests first-time buyers and downsizers remain active, taking advantage of the more accessible price points in that segment. Meanwhile, the single family market is seeing more considered decision-making from buyers who have genuine options to compare.

Inventory &amp; Market Balance


Inventory continues its healthy climb. The 3,710 active listings at month-end represent a 13.8 jump from March's 3,261 and an 8.3 increase from the 3,425 listings we had in April 2025. This is precisely the inventory growth the market needed to cool the competitive dynamics that were pricing out many buyers. The sales-to-active-listings ratio remains comfortably in balanced territory — not so low that sellers panic, not so high that buyers feel desperate. Homes are selling, but buyers have time to do their due diligence.

Benchmark Prices


The MLS® Home Price Index tells a story of modest softening. The benchmark single family home in the Victoria Core now sits at $1,339,100, down 1.2 from $1,354,800 in April 2025 but up from March's $1,330,200 — suggesting we may have found a floor. Condos in the Core benchmark at $558,300, down 0.8 year-over-year from $562,900. These are not dramatic corrections; they're the kind of measured price adjustments that keep markets healthy and accessible.


Regional variation remains significant. Oak Bay continues commanding premium prices with a single family benchmark of $1,872,500 — reflecting the enduring appeal of the municipality's character homes, excellent schools, and village atmosphere. The Westshore offers compelling value with single family homes benchmarking at $1,029,500 (down 3.8 year-over-year), while Peninsula communities appeal to buyers seeking space and a slightly slower pace with benchmarks at $1,275,300.

Where the Action Was: Sales by Municipality


Greater Victoria's neighbourhoods don't move as one. The table below breaks down every residential transaction recorded in April by municipality — split by property type — and grouped by area. The colour intensity on each unit count reflects relative activity: green is lower activity, red is highest.


One deliberate choice in how this data is presented: Victoria and Victoria West are reported separately, even though VREB's Mark I table combines them. The Johnson Street Bridge is a genuine boundary for buyers — someone drawn to Vic West's waterfront proximity, walkability, and converted industrial character is making a fundamentally different decision than a buyer focused on Victoria's downtown condo towers or heritage neighbourhoods. The figures here are drawn from the Mark II table, which segregates the two areas.


Waterfront properties across all districts are shown as a single row, as VREB does not attribute them back to individual municipalities in their published data.

        <title>Market Report - April 2026</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



Victoria Real Estate Market Report for March 2026


April 1, 2026  A total of 579 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this March, 5.5 per cent fewer than the 613 properties sold in March 2025 and 24.5 per cent more than in February 2026. Sales of condominiums decreased by 18.8 per cent from March 2025 with 164 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 2.4 per cent from March 2025 with 285 sold.


&quot;Our market is following a fairly typical spring market trend,&quot; said Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Fergus Kyne. &quot;With sales and listings both increasing from the previous month, we're tracking a seasonal pattern that generally builds to the peak of the market in May or June.&quot;There were 3,261 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of March 2026, an increase of 12.3 per cent compared to the previous month of February and a 7.9 per cent increase from the 3,023 active listings for sale at the end of March 2025.&quot;We continue to observe a market which offers plentiful opportunity for both buyers and sellers. The current conditions of good supply and a reasonable level of consumer demand have created fewer high-pressure transactions and allowed time for both sides of the sale to make decisions and undertake due diligence,&quot; notes Chair Kyne. &quot;Every listing is unique in our market. Greater Victoria is a relatively small area which consists of many micro markets with varying conditions and demand. It's a good time to connect with your favourite local REALTOR® to ensure your property or your purchase gets the correct analysis and strategy it deserves.&quot;


The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in March 2025 was $1,344,900. The benchmark value for the same home in March 2026 decreased by 1.1 per cent to $1,330,200, up from February's value of $1,307,400. The MLS® HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in March 2025 was $558,100, while the benchmark value for the same condominium in March 2026 decreased by 0.8 per cent to $553,800, up from the February value of $545,600.

        <title>AI in Real Estate</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Will AI Change The Real Estate World?





You’ve probably noticed it everywhere...chatbots, instant search results, automated valuations, AI writing and AI images. It’s natural to wonder will AI evenutally replace real estate agents? The short answer is No. It will however change what great Realtors look like and that’s very good news for clients. 


What Ai Is Already Doing in Real Estate


AI has already quietly woven itself into the real estate industry in many practical ways. Online home values now update in real time, listing descriptions can be generated almost instantly and market statistics, trends and price ranges can be pulled together in seconds. Buyer search alerts are largely automated, chatbots can respond to questions around the clock and virtual staging or renovation ideas can be previewed digitally before any physical work is done.


In the past, a Realtor’s value was partly tied to access to information. Today, that information is everywhere, but information is not the same as wisdom. 


What Ai Can’t Replace


There are still many things AI simply can’t replace. It can’t walk into a home and truly feel how the space flows or how it lives. It can’t pick up on hesitation in a buyer’s voice, read between the lines during a negotiation, or spot subtle red flags during a showing. AI also can’t provide the emotional support a family often needs when making one of the biggest purchases of their lives.


Buying and selling a home isn’t just a transaction it’s deeply personal, financial, emotional and strategic. AI can give you data, but a great Realtor gives you judgment.


How Ai Will Change a Realtor’s Role





 Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way many industries operate, and real estate is no exception. Rather than replacing Realtors, AI is primarily removing the time consuming busywork that has traditionally taken up a large portion of an agent’s day.


Tasks such as drafting listing descriptions, running reports, tracking market trends, scheduling follow ups, managing paperwork and pulling comparable sales can now be handled far more efficiently with AI tools. As these administrative tasks become automated, Realtors will spend less time behind a screen and more time focusing on the parts of the job that truly matter.


This shift allows agents to concentrate on the areas where human expertise makes the biggest difference negotiating on behalf of clients, providing thoughtful advice, developing strategic approaches, protecting clients interests, spotting opportunities in the market and helping buyers and sellers avoid costly mistakes.


 AI Staging, Design &amp; Visualization 


One of the most exciting advances in real estate AI is happening in visual technology. Tools such as Kling, virtual staging platforms and AI renovation previews are transforming how properties are presented to buyers.


These technologies can now remove clutter from listing photos, add modern furniture to empty rooms, change wall colours, flooring and lighting and display multiple design styles. They can even virtually renovate kitchens and bathrooms, convert daytime photos into dramatic twilight shots and create lifestyle images that help buyers emotionally connect with a home.


In the past, staging often required thousands of dollars, moving trucks, and weeks of preparation. Today, a property can be digitally staged in minutes in a way that is both beautiful and affordable.


This technology does not replace traditional in person staging, but it does provide sellers with valuable options. They can quickly see how a room could look, experiment with different design styles, attract more buyers online and stand out on MLS and social media platforms.


For buyers, this technology is especially powerful because it allows them to see the potential of a home rather than focusing only on its current condition.


For Realtors, these tools create new opportunities to market properties more effectively, tell stronger visual stories, attract greater attention to listings, create emotional impact and ultimately help homes sell faster.


How a Realtor’s Value Will Increase


 As data becomes more widely available through AI tools, the real value of a Realtor will increasingly shift toward strategy, interpretation, negotiation, risk management, local knowledge and emotional intelligence.


In many ways, this mirrors other professional fields. Anyone can look up stock prices online, yet people still rely on financial advisors to guide their decisions. Anyone can search for medical symptoms, yet doctors remain essential for diagnosis and treatment. AI can provide information, but professionals provide direction.


With AI as a powerful support tool, Realtors will be able to offer even stronger services to their clients. This includes more precise pricing strategies, predictive insights into market trends, faster response times, better buyer-to-property matching, smarter marketing campaigns, stronger negotiation leverage and real time understanding of market shifts.


Instead of simply reacting to the market, Realtors will increasingly be able to anticipate it.  


So, Will Realtors Be Replaced?


 The short answer is no, but the role of a Realtor will evolve. The future will favor agents who combine technology with expertise, market knowledge and genuine human connection. 


AI may change how the work is done, but the need for trusted guidance, negotiation skill and strategic thinking in real estate will remain more important than ever.

Victoria Real Estate Market Report-February 2026






March 2, 2026  A total of 465 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this February, 11.9 per cent fewer than the 528 properties sold in February 2025 and 37.2 per cent more than in January 2026. Sales of condominiums decreased by 19.8 per cent from February 2025 with 154 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 12 per cent from February 2025 with 206 sold.


&quot;February's sales definitely picked up the pace compared with sales from the previous month,” said Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Fergus Kyne. &quot;Though our sales numbers are lower than they were in 2025, with an over 35 per cent increase month over month, and a very healthy amount of inventory currently available, it will be interesting to see how our spring market unfolds in the upcoming months.&quot;


There were 2,903 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of February 2026, an increase of 10.6 per cent compared to the previous month of January and a 10.4 per cent increase from the 2,630 active listings for sale at the end of February 2025.


&quot;Last month we reported how the market rested on the threshold between balanced and a buyer's market,&quot; notes Chair Kyne. &quot;Over the course of February, more activity led to increased sales which has helped to balance market conditions. When the market is in balance, it means excellent opportunities exist for buyers and sellers. If you've been waiting for the spring to start your home sale or search, now is a great time to connect with a local Victoria REALTOR® to start planning.&quot;


The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in February 2025 was $1,319,100. The benchmark value for the same home in February 2026 decreased by 0.9 per cent to $1,307,400, up from January's value of $1,265,500. The MLS® HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in February 2025 was $549,600, while the benchmark value for the same condominium in February 2026 decreased by 0.7 per cent to $545,600, up from the January value of $537,800.

        <title>Market Report - February 2026</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 






Victoria Real Estate Market Report for January 2026


A total of 339 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this January, 19.7 per cent fewer than the 422 properties sold in January 2025 and 7.6 per cent fewer than in December 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 25.3 per cent from January 2025 with 109 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 21.1 per cent from January 2025 with 153 sold.


“This year kicked off with sales in a similar pattern to what we observed in 2023 and ‘24,” said Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Fergus Kyne. “Those years signalled the return to more predictable, seasonal patterns after the intense pace of the pandemic-influenced market we saw earlier in the decade. Different this year is that there is much more inventory on the market. Healthy levels of inventory that meet demand are critical to smooth out any upward pressure on pricing. As we move through the year, it may well be inventory levels and a combination of external factors like interest rates, global trade tensions, and consumer confidence that ultimately determine the course for our market.”


There were 2,624 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of January 2026, an increase of 3.1 per cent compared to the previous month of December and a 9.6 per cent increase from the 2,395 active listings for sale at the end of January 2025.


“With the current strong level of inventory and fewer sales, the overall market in January rested on the threshold between balanced and a buyer’s market,” notes Chair Kyne. “A single month does not promise a long-term trend, but this does mean that January offered a good amount of selection for buyers and more defined outcomes for sellers. Our market area is small but diverse, and consists of many micro-markets, all of which have their own specific market conditions. This means that some areas may be in balance, while others may trend to a buyer’s market. To determine where a property is within the balance of markets, connect with your favourite Victoria REALTOR®.”


The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index* benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in January 2025 was $1,297,300. The benchmark value for the same home in January 2026 decreased by 2.5 per cent to $1,265,500, up from December’s value of $1,255,000. The MLS® HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in January 2025 was $545,900, while the benchmark value for the same condominium in January 2026 decreased by 1.5 per cent to $537,800, down from the December value of $549,900.

        <title> 'Bill 44' &amp;  'Build Canada Homes' </title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



What is Bill 44?


Bill 44 is officially known as the 'Housing Statutes (Residential Development) Amendment Act 2023'. It is one of the most significant housing laws passed in British Columbia in recent years.  Bill 44 was created to help address the province's ongoing housing shortage by changing how residential development works, especially in cities and towns with more than 5000 residents.






What 'Bill 44' Changes


Traditionally, many neighbourhoods in BC were limited to single family homes which by definition are houses where only one household lives on a lot.  Bill 44 rewrites those rules to allow more housing types on those same lots. This includes:






Triplexes






Fourplexes






Laneway homes






Other small scale multi-unit housing






 





In many areas, residents can now build 3 to 6 housing units where only one used to be allowed. In places close to frequent transit service, even more units may be permitted. 


Why the Change Matters


The province estimates that Bill 44 could unlock the creation of hundreds of thousands of new housing units over the next decade which will potentially ease housing prices and increase supply in high demand.


Local governments must update official community plans and change zoning restrictions so that small scale multi-unit housing is allowed on previously single family lots. This shift aims to make it faster and easier for builders and homeowners to propose new housing options. 


In many cases, Bill 44 also reduces or eliminates public rezoning hearings,  speeding up the development process for projects that follow official plans.


How It Affects Residents in BC


 


 Homeowners 






Some people worry about change in neighbourhood character, especially where new multi-unit buildings replace single homes. 






You may be able to build more units on your property than before, such as a laneway home or multiple rental units.






 


 Environment &amp; Neighbourhoods 






Some critics, especially in places like Greater Victoria are concerned about impacts on urban tree canopies, local ecosystems and neighbourhood character, saying that municipalities now have less ability to protect trees and green spaces in development decisions. 






 


 Local Government Planning 






Municipal councils now have less control over zoning decisions in residential areas and must align their official community plans with Bill 44’s requirements, even if local residents prefer different rules. 






 


 Infrastructure Pressure 






Some communities like Sooke have raised concerns that rapid housing growth could stretch infrastructure (roads, sewer systems, schools) if development outpaces planning and funding. 






What This Means for You


Bill 44 is a major shift in how BC plans and builds housing.  For many people, it could mean:






More housing options and potential rental homes.






A chance to use land more profitably or flexibly.






Change in neighbourhood look and feel.






Debate over environmental and community planning priorities.






These policy updates signal a decisive change in British Columbia’s approach to the housing shortage. Rather than expanding outward, the province is focusing on adding modest levels of density within established communities. This approach is intended to expand housing choices that fall between detached houses and high rise developments, offering more practical options for families and everyday households. By prioritizing ground level and family suitable homes, the province hopes to improve affordability for middle income earners while maximizing the use of existing roads, utilities, schools and public services.


At its core, the shift acknowledges that maintaining low density neighbourhoods indefinitely is not realistic if British Columbia is to meet the housing needs of a growing population. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, developer or just curious about how BC is tackling the housing crisis, Bill 44 sets the stage for big changes in the places we live and shapes how BC communities grow in the years to come.


Build Canada Homes: 


A New Era for Canadian Housing


In September 2025, the federal government launched Build Canada Homes which is a bold, centrally coordinated effort to tackle Canada’s chronic housing shortage by significantly increasing the supply of affordable housing nationwide. 





BCH was created as a special operating agency under Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada (HICC), with three core mandates:






Build affordable homes — leading the planning, management and construction of large scale housing projects. 






Finance affordable housing — offering low cost financing and incentives to non market housing providers, nonprofits, Indigenous communities and others.






Catalyze the housing industry — promoting modern construction methods (e.g. factory-built / modular housing), leveraging public lands and attracting private capital to scale production.






Overall, the goal was to double the pace of housing construction in Canada over the next decade and make housing more affordable and accessible. The program was capitalized with an initial 13 billion dollars earmarked for land acquisition, financing and construction support. 


In November 2025, the government released the Investment Policy Framework.  The new framework outlines how Build Canada Homes will invest and prioritize projects that are ready to build within 12 months, provide deep and long term affordability, use innovative and fast construction methods, demonstrate strong partnerships and incorporate Canadian made materials. Proposals will soon be accepted through a new online portal launching in late November.


Implications For The Market


Build Canada Homes could reshape the landscape. Here’s how:






New supply — especially rentals and affordable housing: By enabling large scale builds (including mixed income, non market and supportive housing) BCH could increase overall housing stock easing supply pressure, especially in high demand markets.






Faster approvals and streamlined process: By consolidating previously fragmented housing programs (federal lands initiatives, financing supports, etc.) under one agency, BCH aims to reduce red tape and speed up housing delivery which means more certainty and predictability for developers and builders. 






Demand shifts — opportunity for investors &amp; clients seeking affordability: Given rising housing costs, BCH’s emphasis on affordable, non market and mixed income housing may offer new client segments: first time buyers, lower income households, renters and others.






Potential for development, especially on public lands: Public land is being leveraged to facilitate projects this could create opportunities for redevelopment, conversions and new housing products in markets where land supply is tight. 






Key Data Analysis





 A recent report by Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) suggests that while BCH is a welcome step, its initial impact will be modest. 


Key takeaways from the PBO report:






BCH is projected to add around 26,000 units to Canada’s housing supply over the next five years. 






Roughly half of those units are expected to be 'affordable homes' for low income Canadians. 






That boost represents only a 2.1 increase to the baseline projection for new home construction over that period modest relative to nationwide housing demand. 






The PBO notes that total federal spending on housing programs is expected to decline by 56 between 2025–26 and 2028–29, due to expiry of funding for existing programs. BCH only partially offsets that decline.






Simply put: while BCH will help, it’s not a silver bullet to Canada’s housing supply shortage. The program’s early output is relatively limited compared to the size of the problem. Nevertheless for lease holders and buyers, those 26,000 units could be meaningful, especially in tight rental or affordable housing segments.


Insights &amp; Signals Ahead 





 Looking ahead, we should keep an eye on the developments and opportunities related to BCH:






Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) and land-redevelopment sites: BCH has already issued RFQs for properties in major markets including in Ottawa and Winnipeg. In urban/suburban markets, this may create opportunities for new rental or affordable housing developments.






Modern construction methods (modular, factory built, mass timber, etc.): As BCH invests in new building technologies, faster construction could lead to more inventory coming to market potentially increasing supply quicker than traditional builds. 






Shifts in supply vs. market demand impact on rents and prices: If supply increases substantially or even gradually, this could alleviate some pressure on rent growth which might influence demand for resale homes, rental demand and investor interest.






Affordable / supportive housing: Focusing on rental, lower cost housing or affordable options (seniors, lower income, new immigrants, first time renters/buyers), BCH’s rollout could open new opportunities. 






Progress Made, Challenges Remain


Build Canada Homes represents a significant shift in how the federal government approaches housing supply with centralized, coordinated and strong tools (land, financing, innovation). This signals potential new supply, especially in affordable and rental housing and an evolving market landscape.


However, the numbers released so far show the impact will be modest at least in the short term. The projected 26,000 new units over five years are welcome, but they don’t erase Canada’s broader housing deficit.  BCH is not a quick fix but a meaningful, long term piece of Canada’s housing puzzle.

Victoria Real Estate Board Market Report- December 2025


January 2, 2026  A total of 367 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this December, 12.8 per cent fewer than the 421 properties sold in December 2024 and 18.6 per cent fewer than in November 2025. Sales of condominiums were down 21.5 per cent from December 2024 with 106 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 2.6 per cent from December 2024 with 186 sold.


There were 6,918 sales over the course of 2025, a 0.36 per cent increase from the 6,893 sales in 2024.


&quot;2025 was another consistent year for local real estate,&quot; said 2026 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Fergus Kyne. &quot;Despite global economic uncertainty, property sales in the Victoria market were steady and pricing remained relatively balanced. One of the most significant factors in 2025 was the amount of available inventory. We saw the second highest number on record of new listings enter the market. The ample inventory was good news for sellers and for the stability of our market. Buyers had more choice and time to make decisions, while sellers benefitted from clearer expectations around pricing and timelines.&quot;


There were 2,544 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of December 2025, a decrease of 19.3 per cent compared to the previous month of November but an 11.1 per cent increase from the 2,290 active listings for sale at the end of December 2024.


The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in December 2024 was $1,316,700. The benchmark value for the same home in December 2025 decreased by 4.7 per cent to $1,255,000, down 1.7 per cent from November's value of $1,276,700. The MLS® HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in December 2024 was $546,100 while the benchmark value for the same condominium in December 2025 increased by 0.7 per cent to $549,900, a decrease of 0.6 per cent from the November value of $533,100.


&quot;MLS® Home Price Index trends this year varied by region and by property type,&quot; added Kyne. &quot;According to the MLS® HPI, single family home values in the Victoria Core softened, while the Westshore saw modest gains. Condo values remained relatively flat. As we move into 2026, inventory levels will continue to shape the market. Wise sellers will track pricing trends for their specific area and factor in that consumers react positively to properties that are well-presented and offer good value. If you are thinking about making a move this year, it's a smart idea to contact your local Realtor to understand the current conditions and to build your strategy.&quot;

 This year brought growth, connection and so many meaningful milestones. I proudly celebrated 20 years of dedicated service as a Realtor reflecting on two decades of trusted relationships.

To all of those that I've had the privlege of working with this year, thank you for putting your confidence in me. Guiding you through one of life’s biggest decisions is something I never take lightly. Your trust, loyalty and support are the foundation of my business and I am truly appreciative of each and every one of you.
