December 2024 Victoria Real Estate Board Statistics – 2024 Victoria real estate market year in review
January 2, 2025 – A total of 421 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this December, 28 percent more than the 329 properties sold in December 2023, and a 23.6 percent decrease from November 2024. Sales of condominiums were up 25 percent from December 2023, with 135 units sold. Sales of single-family homes increased 20.9 percent from December 2023, with 191 sold.
A grand total of 6,893 properties sold over the course of 2024, an 11 percent increase from the 6,207 sold in 2023.
“2024 was a fairly calm year for local real estate,” said Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Laurie Lidstone. “This is what we like to see for consumers! It has been a year of stability and predictability. Prices have been relatively level for the past two years, which has made it easier for buyers and sellers to navigate transactions with confidence. Even though 2024 had more months with over 3,000 listings than we have had in many years, we do continue to see low inventory levels when compared to long-term averages. If inventory remains low and we see an increase in demand, we could very quickly return to a market where there is upward pressure on pricing. This is why the Board will continue to advocate for gentle density development in 2025.”
There were 2,290 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of December 2024, a decrease of 19.3 percent compared to the previous month of November but a 7.4 percent increase from the 2,132 active listings for sale at the end of December 2023.
“The future for the market is of course impossible to predict,” added Chair Lidstone. “Recent changes that extend amortization periods for first-time buyers, and updates to the property transfer tax thresholds help make homes more attainable, and hopefully help more people to enter the housing market. Consistent interest rates will also increase the ability for folks to make a move. As always, our market is subject to many influences and the purchase and sale process is complex. If you are contemplating buying or selling in 2025, call your favorite local REALTOR® who can create the best strategy for you and for your property.”
The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single-family home in the Victoria Core in December 2023 was $1,272,000. The benchmark value for the same home in December 2024 increased by 2.7 percent to $1,306,400, up 0.3 percent from November’s value of $1,302,900. The MLS® HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in December 2023 was $556,500, while the benchmark value for the same condominium in December 2024 decreased by 1.6 percent to $547,800, an increase of 0.6 percent from the November value of $544,400.
