JUNE 2025 VREB MARKET STATISTICS.. Victoria real e JUNE 2025 VREB MARKET STATISTICS.. Victoria real estate market kicks off summer with strong fundamentals A total of 761 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this June, 15.1 per cent more than the 661 properties sold in June 2024 and 0.4 per cent more than in May 2025. Sales of condominiums increased by 23.3 per cent from June 2024 with 249 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 17.5 per cent from June 2024 with 402 sold. “We observed a fairly robust real estate market in the month of June,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “Recent market trends suggest that we have finally transitioned from a pandemic-driven market to more conventional patterns. We have experienced consecutive months of a healthy and balanced market that includes listing inventory levels we have not seen in a decade paired with steady sales. Despite economic uncertainties weighing on consumer confidence, Victoria continues to demonstrate resilient market conditions.” There were 3,778 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of June 2025, an increase of 1.7 per cent compared to the previous month of May and an 9.2 per cent increase from the 3,460 active listings for sale at the end of June 2024. “Noteworthy this past month is a large uptick in the number of condos sold,” adds Chair VanderWal. “Earlier in the spring, fewer condos were sold compared to the previous year. It seems that condo buyers were back in the market and very active in June. It will be interesting to see if this continues through the summer and becomes a trend. Regardless of the type of property, it’s a great time to connect with your favourite local REALTOR® for expert assistance and up-to-the-minute insights on the market if you are considering a sale or purchase this summer.”

MAY 2025 VREB MARKET STATISTICS….A stable real e MAY 2025 VREB MARKET STATISTICS….A stable real estate market trend continues in Victoria, BC A total of 758 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this May, 0.7 per cent fewer than the 763 properties sold in May 2024 but 18.1 per cent more than in April 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 6 per cent from May 2024 with 221 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 0.5 per cent from May 2024 with 401 sold. “Victoria’s real estate market in the month of May was positive for consumers on both sides of the transaction,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “Ample inventory coming to market outpaced brisk sales, which provided a consistent amount of choice and eased competition on high-demand properties. More balanced market conditions were supported by stability both in prices and in interest rates. The May market was resilient, and that steady pace is a little boring to report on but has been much more comfortable for buyers and sellers to navigate than markets we’ve seen in past years.” There were 3,716 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of May 2025, an increase of 8.5 per cent compared to the previous month of April and an 11.3 per cent increase from the 3,338 active listings for sale at the end of May 2024. “The past month we saw the highest total sales that we’ve seen since May 2024, which was the peak month last year,” adds Chair VanderWal. “We’ve also tracked the highest number of new listings incoming since May 2008, which helped to keep the market balanced. It is important to remember that our housing market is made up of many micro markets, and if you are shopping for a downtown condo your experience and strategy is going to be much different than someone who is shopping for a suburban detached home. Enlisting the help of a local REALTOR® will help ensure that one of the biggest financial transactions you’ll make in your lifetime is a great success.”

APRIL 2025 VREB MARKET STATISTICS.. Victoria real APRIL 2025 VREB MARKET STATISTICS.. 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. “The good news is we remain in that sweet spot of inventory, which we currently find is between 3,000 and 4,000 listings,” adds Chair VanderWal. “This amount of inventory ensures that overall demand can be met and pressure on pricing is lessened. It also means consumers have more time to compare options, make plans, and evaluate their decisions. That said, activity is not the same across all areas or property types. Currently, single family homes in certain price ranges are in demand and may see multiple offers, while there is a larger supply of condos waiting for buyers. Since the Greater Victoria market is made of many sub-markets, it is important to connect with your favourite local REALTOR® to discuss a strategy for your property type.
