<h2>February 2026</h2>
<p>Victoria Real Estate Board Market Report &#8211; February 2026<br />
While some large markets across Canada have experienced significant price drops over the last year, the Victoria Real Estate Market has remained quite resilient. Overall sales have slowed in recent months, and listing inventory remains on the higher side, but prices have only dropped slightly. Interest rates remain stable so not much should change in the market in the coming months.</p>
<p><em>Below are some statistics for January 2026 and Year end throughout the Greater Victoria region</em></p>
<h3><strong><u>Listing Inventory:</u></strong></h3>
<p>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 % compared to the previous month of December and a 9.6 % increase from the 2,395 active listings for sale at the end of January 2025. This higher inventory is great for Buyers, increasing their choice and allowing more time to make Buying decisions.</p>
<h3><strong><u>Sales:</u></strong></h3>
<p>A total of 339 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this January, 19.7 % fewer than the 422 properties sold in January 2025 and 7.6 % fewer than in December 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 25.3 % from January 2025 with 109 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 21.1 % from January 2025 with 153 sold. Overall sales were quite low in January. With the current higher inventory levels, only about 1 in 7 homes are selling per month. Therefore, Sellers must price there homes correctly to attract showings and offers.</p>
<h3><strong><u>Average Victoria Real Estate Prices:</u></strong></h3>
<p>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 % to $1,265,500, up from December&#8217;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 % to $537,800, down from the December value of $549,900. Year over year, prices are down in most sectors of the Greater Victoria market. This is to be expected as inventory levels increase while sales drop. Victoria is a desirable city that continues to attract new residents, allowing the market to remain buoyant even in slower economic times.</p>

<h2>September 2025</h2>
<p>Victoria real estate market has slowed slightly over the course of the summer, while listing inventory has increased over the last year, leaving more choice for Buyers while Sellers must price their properties correctly to attract interest.</p>
<p><em>Below are some of the statistics for August 2025</em></p>
<h3><strong><u>Listing Inventory:</u></strong></h3>
<p>There were 3,600 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of August 2025, a decrease of 2.8 % compared to the previous month of July and a 12.8 % increase from the 3,191 active listings for sale at the end of August 2024. This increased inventory is putting some downward pressure on prices.</p>
<h3><strong><u>Sales:</u></strong></h3>
<p>A total of 525 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this August, 3.7 % fewer than the 545 properties sold in August 2024 and 22.8 % fewer than in July 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 16 % from August 2024 with 152 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 6.3% from August 2024 with 268 sold. Condos are struggling the most in this market. Single family sales numbers have actually increased from a year ago.</p>
<h3><strong><u>Average Victoria Real Estate Prices:</u></strong></h3>
<p>The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in August 2024 was $1,287,400. The benchmark value for the same home in August 2025 increased by 1.6 % to $1,308,100, down from July’s value of $1,338,800. The MLS® HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in August 2024 was $559,200 while the benchmark value for the same condominium in August 2025 decreased by 1.4 % to $551,300, down from the July value of $563,300. Overall prices are now only up 1.6% from one year ago and seem to have topped out in July as we are now seeing slight monthly drops in all sectors over the last month. The Bank of Canada is leaning towards dropping the overnight interest rate at the next meeting next week, so let’s hope this helps to prop up the market in the coming fall months.</p>
