The Victoria real estate market found a steady rhythm this September, showing signs of balance as we move into the fall season. With sales holding steady, more inventory on the market, and moderated price shifts, both buyers and sellers are benefiting from healthier conditions.<\/p>\n
A total of 554 properties sold<\/strong> in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this September. This represents a 3% decrease from September 2024<\/strong> (571 sales) but a 5.5% increase compared to August 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Condominium sales:<\/strong> 154 units sold, down 18.5% year-over-year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Single-family home sales:<\/strong> 289 units sold, up 6.3% year-over-year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This mix reflects a softer condo market but continued strength in single-family homes and townhouses.<\/p>\n \u201cSeptember was another stable month for local real estate,<\/strong>\u201d said Victoria Real Estate Board Chair, Dirk VanderWal. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to see huge fluctuations in price or number of sales in our market. A balanced market with seasonality, strong inventory, and motivated buyers means less pressure on pricing and more room for thoughtful decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With 3,694 active listings<\/strong> at the end of September, inventory rose 2.6% from August 2025<\/strong> and 9.9% from September 2024<\/strong>, giving buyers more choice and sellers more competition.<\/p>\n Single-family homes (Victoria Core):<\/strong><\/p>\n September 2024 benchmark: $1,279,700<\/p>\n<\/li>\n September 2025 benchmark: $1,294,800 (+1.2% YoY<\/strong>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Down slightly from August 2025\u2019s $1,308,100<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n Condominiums (Victoria Core):<\/strong><\/p>\n September 2024 benchmark: $553,400<\/p>\n<\/li>\n September 2025 benchmark: $547,500 (-1.1% YoY<\/strong>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Also down from August 2025\u2019s $551,300<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n These figures show modest appreciation in single-family homes<\/strong> while condos remain more affordable, an opportunity for first-time buyers especially as interest rates ease.<\/p>\n For sellers:<\/strong> Presentation and pricing matter more than ever in a balanced market. Well-staged and correctly priced homes are standing out and selling faster.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n For buyers:<\/strong> With more listings and less competition, there\u2019s time to evaluate options carefully and negotiate strategically. Prioritizing \u201cmust-haves\u201d vs. \u201cnice-to-haves\u201d can help buyers find the right fit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n As Chair VanderWal noted:<\/p>\n \u201cDecreasing interest rates may bring more buyers into the field, especially first-time buyers.
