August 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Statistics – Victoria real estate market quiet but steady to end summer
A total of 525 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this August, 3.7 per cent fewer than the 545 properties sold in August 2024 and 22.8 per cent fewer than in July 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 16 per cent from August 2024 with 152 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 6.3 per cent from August 2024 with 268 sold.
“August was a quiet but steady month,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “Typical of what we’d expect for the time of year, the late summer month saw fewer sales and a small decrease in the available listings. Many people shift focus to vacations and back to school preparation in August. Home buying, selling, and moving projects are often put on hold until fall. Some sellers use the month to prepare their home for listing in the busier fall market.”
There were 3,600 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of August 2025, a decrease of 2.8 per cent compared to the previous month of July and a 12.8 per cent increase from the 3,191 active listings for sale at the end of August 2024.
“We’ve seen fairly stable prices and interest rates for over a year now,” adds Chair VanderWal. “These factors, combined with the improved availability of inventory, have translated into a real estate market which has a much different pace than the highly pressurized conditions that made headlines five years ago. Based on our current conditions, consumers are adjusting their expectations for the time it takes to sell a property, how long they will have to make a decision, and what competition they will encounter. The current market allows buyers and sellers more time to review their options, evaluate properties, and is more supportive of planning and decision making, all of which are helpful when you’re making one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make in your lifetime.

The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in August 2024 was $1,287,400.
