MARCH 2025
A total of 613 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this March, 4.3 per cent more
than the 588 properties sold in March 2024 and 16.1 per cent more than in February 2025. Sales of
condominiums were up 14.1 per cent from March 2024 with 202 units sold. Sales of single family homes
increased by 2.1 per cent from March 2024 with 292 sold.
“The economic uncertainty the world faces right now certainly colours our local real estate market,”
said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “In spite of this, our market remains as it
has in recent months – stable and balanced. Inventory levels this past month held steady at over three
thousand listings, which meant that there was a good amount of selection for buyers, while relatively flat
pricing meant more predictability for sellers and buyers.”
There were 3,023 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at
the end of March 2025, an increase of 14.9 per cent compared to the previous month of February and an
14.2 per cent increase from the 2,647 active listings for sale at the end of March 2024.
“As in past months, the balanced market in March softened the demand-side pressures of markets we’ve
seen in recent years. There is more time for decision making, which is a positive aspect for both sellers
and buyers,” adds Chair VanderWal. “Thoughtfully priced and presented homes are selling well and we
do see instances of multiple offers, which is often a hallmark of the spring market. For the best outcomes
in your property search or sale, connect with your favourite local REALTOR® to navigate the current
market.”
