The Victoria real estate market remained active throughout June 2026, showing steady buyer demand despite a slight year-over-year decline in overall sales. While fewer properties changed hands compared to June last year, the market continues to demonstrate resilience, with stable home values and healthy activity across several property types.
June 2026 Market Snapshot
The Victoria Real Estate Board (VREB) reported a total of 719 properties sold in June 2026. This represents:
- 5.5% fewer sales compared to 761 properties sold in June 2025
- 0.8% more sales than in May 2026
Although annual sales were slightly lower, month-over-month activity increased, indicating that buyers remain engaged as the summer market continues.
Single-Family Homes
Single-family homes continued to be the most active segment of the market.
June 2026 Statistics:
- 388 homes sold
- 3.5% decrease compared to June 2025
- MLS® Home Price Index (HPI): $1,326,500
The modest decline in sales suggests that demand for detached homes remains strong despite ongoing affordability challenges and changing market conditions.
Condominiums
The condominium market experienced the largest year-over-year shift.
June 2026 Statistics:
- 182 condos sold
- 26.9% decrease compared to June 2025
- MLS® HPI: $549,200
While condo sales slowed significantly compared to last year, this may present opportunities for buyers looking for increased inventory and greater negotiating power.
Townhomes
Townhomes continued to attract buyers seeking a balance between affordability and space.
June 2026 Statistics:
- 94 townhomes sold
- MLS® HPI: $841,200
Townhomes remain an appealing option for first-time buyers, downsizers, and families looking for lower-maintenance living without sacrificing square footage.
What This Means for Buyers
The June market offers buyers several advantages:
- More balanced market conditions compared to previous years.
- Stable home prices across most property types.
- Potentially less competition in certain market segments, particularly condominiums.
- More opportunities to negotiate favorable terms.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to enter the market, current conditions may provide greater flexibility than we’ve seen in recent years.
What This Means for Sellers
Although overall sales were slightly lower than last year, well-priced and well-presented homes continue to attract serious buyers.
Sellers should focus on:
- Pricing strategically based on current market conditions.
- Preparing their home to stand out from competing listings.
- Working with an experienced REALTOR® who understands local market trends and buyer behavior.
Accurate pricing and strong marketing remain key to achieving successful results.
