Let’s be honest—things have felt confusing lately. Economically, politically, emotionally… it’s been a lot. And if you’ve been feeling unsure about your next steps in real estate, you’re definitely not alone.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had a number of conversations with people who have hit pause on their plans. Maybe they were thinking about buying a presale home. Maybe they were planning to list their current place this spring. But now? They’re waiting, watching, and wondering what’s coming next.
And I get it. There’s been a lot of uncertainty swirling around—interest rates, inflation, shifting government policies, global news. It’s hard to know where to focus, let alone how to plan your next big move.
Here’s the thing: uncertainty doesn’t have to mean inaction.
While we can’t predict the future, we can look at the patterns emerging right now—and in Victoria, there are signs of movement again.
In the last few weeks alone, I’ve had multiple people reach back out to revisit plans they’d put on hold. Buyers who were previously hesitant are now starting to explore options again. Sellers are getting curious about listing timelines. And there’s growing interest in presale developments, especially from clients looking for flexibility and longer possession windows.
Presales, in particular, offer a unique opportunity in this market. With completion dates often 12 to 24 months out, many buyers are using this as a way to secure today’s pricing while giving themselves time to prepare financially or sell another property. With many developers offering attractive incentives—like limited-time deposit structures or upgrades—it’s become a strategic way to re-enter the market without rushing into anything.
So what’s driving this renewed momentum?
- Stability in interest rates. While rates remain elevated, they’ve leveled out somewhat, giving buyers and sellers a clearer framework for decision-making.
- Increased clarity. Policy changes, tax updates, and market shifts are now better understood than they were even a month ago.
- Local confidence. Despite global noise, Victoria’s market continues to show resilience—especially in neighborhoods where demand still outweighs supply.
Where does that leave you?
If you’re feeling a bit “in between”—not sure whether to move forward, pause longer, or switch gears—now might be the perfect time to talk. Not to make any big moves right away, but to simply gather some clarity.
What’s realistic based on your situation? What options are available in Victoria’s current presale landscape? Could now be the right time to prepare for the next phase, even if you don’t plan to move tomorrow?
These are the conversations I’m having daily, and I’m always happy to have them—no pressure, no rush, just honest guidance based on what I’m seeing in real time.
