🌸 April 2025 Slowest Spring in over 20 years!

One of the slowest Aprils in 20+ years—but opportunity is blooming

As the cherry blossoms fall across Victoria, the real estate market is sending a clear message: we're in a season of transition. While some headlines highlight cooling sales, savvy buyers and sellers are spotting new openings in a more balanced, more strategic market.

📉 Sales Slow to Historic Lows

April 2025 saw just 613 homes sold across Greater Victoria. That’s 23% below the 10-year average for April, marking one of the slowest Aprils in over two decades.

  • Detached homes: 330 sales (+4% YoY, but still below average)
  • Townhomes: 81 sales (-5% YoY)
  • Condos: 181 sales (-10% YoY)

Why the slowdown?

Ongoing tariff-related economic uncertainty and buyer hesitancy around interest rates continue to shape activity levels.

📦 Inventory Climbs—Highest Since 2015

There’s a silver lining for buyers: more choices.
With 2,737 active listings on the market, inventory is at its highest since September 2015.

  • Detached homes: 1,322 listings
  • Condos: 926 listings
  • Townhomes: 298 listings
The Months of Inventory (MOI) now sits at 4.5, indicating a more balanced market—especially for townhomes and condos.

🏷️ Prices Stay (Mostly) Steady

Despite the shift in activity, prices have held their ground with subtle changes.

  • Detached median price: $1,225,000 (-0.4% YoY, but +1.8% MoM)
  • Townhomes: $789,000 (+2% YoY)
  • Condos: $549,000 (+1.3% YoY, though down 2% MoM)

🔍 What Does This Mean for You?

Buyers:
With more inventory and less competition, now may be the time to explore your options—especially if you were priced out before.

Sellers:
You’ll need to position your home carefully. Strategic pricing, compelling marketing, and thoughtful presentation matter more than ever.

November 2024 Market Update
In November, home sales in Greater Victoria closely aligned with their long-term average for the second consecutive month, marking the fifth straight year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, a significant decrease in new listings led to a drop in inventory, which ended the month below last year's levels for the first time since April 2022.
