A balanced Victoria real estate market continues to provide consumers with options
A total of 617 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this October, 5.7 per cent fewer than the 654 properties sold in October 2024 and 11.4 per cent more than in September 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 15 per cent from October 2024 with 159 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 2.9 per cent from October 2024 with 350 sold.
“The local real estate market remains reasonably balanced,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “Single family homes are currently seeing the strongest demand, and this month we saw the highest number of October sales since 2020. However, condo sales were slightly more restrained than single family and townhome sales over the past month. We have not seen a significant decrease in prices as a result, but those shopping for condos will find a good variety to choose from with time to make decisions.”
There were 3,423 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of October 2025, a decrease of 7.3 per cent compared to the previous month of September and an 8.3 per cent increase from the 3,161 active listings for sale at the end of October 2024.
“The Bank of Canada made another interest rate cut late in October,” notes Chair VanderWal. “It’s too early to determine if this will affect demand, but consumers are likely watching and waiting to see what will happen to fixed and variable mortgage rates. As we move toward winter, the housing market tends to cool off with the weather. The Victoria real estate market is dynamic, and can change course depending on consumer activity.
