OCTOBER MARKET STATS ARE OUT!

"Sales did increase notably over last year, but it's important to include some context," said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair-Elect Dirk VanderWal." October 2023 saw the fewest sales in that month since 2008, which distorts a year-over-year comparison; in fact, last month's sales count was almost exactly on the ten-year average for the month. With that context, although we've certainly seen a notable increase in sales month over month, this does signal a return to a more average market for this time of year.”

Here’s a little breakdown:

- Last month's sales were 60.7% more than a year before.
- There were 14.7% more homes listed than the previous year.
- The benchmark price for a single-family home was $1,300,200

SEPTEMBER MARKET STATS ARE OUT!

"The real estate market in Victoria right now is much more stable and more predictable than it has been in recent years," said 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Laurie Lidstone. “We have seen a few solid months of near-balance in the market, which means it's neither a seller's nor a buyer's market, and positives exist for both sides of a transaction. With downward trending interest rates and stable pricing combined with more inventory on the market, our current conditions are the most comfortable for consumers to navigate that I've seen in a few years."

Here’s a little breakdown:

- September's sales were 15.8% more than a year before.
- There were 24.5% more homes listed than the previous year.
- The benchmark price for a single-family home was $1,279,700
