The Victoria Real Estate Board has released their statistics for the month of April. The following is an excerpt from their press release.
A total of 643 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this April, 0.2 per cent more than the 642 properties sold in April 2025 and 11.1 per cent more than in March 2026. Sales of condominiums increased by 5.9 per cent from April 2025 with 198 units sold. Sales of single family homes decreased by 1.2 per cent from April 2025 with 331 sold.
“The overall market in Greater Victoria continues to remain in balance,” said Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Fergus Kyne. “Inventory levels are staying strong, and new listings coming onto market in recent weeks will help serve our traditionally busy spring season. The collective track record from the past several months of balance and stability in our market is likely underpinning the confidence of buyers and sellers this season.”
There were 3,710 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of April 2026, an increase of 13.8 per cent compared to the previous month of March and an 8.3 per cent increase from the 3,425 active listings for sale at the end of April 2025.
This chart tracks the ratio of total residential sales over total active residential listings at month-end for each of the last 25 months.
The active listing count and the sales count can be viewed as indicators of housing supply and demand respectively. Observing the ratio between them can thus help indicate a "buyers' market", where there is sustained downward pressure on prices, and a "sellers' market", where there is sustained upward pressure on prices.
- below 17%, there is downward pressure on prices (buyers' market)
- above 28%, there is upward pressure on prices (sellers' market)
- in the 17-28% range, there is little pressure on prices either way (balanced market)
