Spring Market in November?

Dustin Miller

HomeBlogMonthly UpdateSpring Market in November?

The Victoria real estate market is heating up sooner than expected, thanks to the Bank of Canada’s recent 50 basis point rate cut—the largest reduction since 2020. But what does this bold move mean for buyers and sellers as we head into the colder months? ❄️🌧️

In this vlog post, we'll explore why November and December might actually present some of the best buying opportunities, especially for those looking to avoid the anticipated rush of Spring 2025. Here’s what you’ll discover:

  1. How the rate cut impacts fixed vs. variable mortgage rates and what this could mean for your financing options.
  2. A deep dive into Victoria’s current market trends, including rising sales, steady prices, and the highest inventory levels we've seen in a decade.
  3. The latest government incentives designed to ease affordability for first-time buyers, such as extended 30-year amortizations and potential GST exemptions on new builds.
  4. Practical advice for both buyers and sellers on how to navigate the current market to make the most of these changes.

👉 If you’re thinking of buying or selling, let’s chat about your options. Reach out to me directly to set up a consultation.
