January 2, 2015, Victoria Real Estate Board

The Victoria Real Estate Board today released its report on real estate activity in the Victoria area for December 2014.

389 properties sold in the Victoria region this December, an increase of 9.6% when compared to the 355 properties sold in December last year. Overall, 2014 saw 11.67% more sales than in 2013.

"I think the increase in sales we saw in 2014 surpassed a lot of people’s expectations. To see growth of over 10% - that shows consumer confidence and interest in our market," Victoria Real Estate Board President Guy Crozier says. "Of course one factor that helped sell houses this year was the low mortgage rate. That, combined with balanced market conditions, created a steady, consumer-friendly environment in which to purchase and sell properties."

The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core this time last year was $542,800. This month the benchmark value rose 2.9% to $558,500. Over the course of 2014, 6.2% of single family homes (238) sold for over one million dollars.

"There are two indicators to track in the New Year - the number of sales, and the amount of inventory currently available on the market. In 2014 we saw less inventory available than in previous years but more sales. With job growth predicted and consumer confidence increasing in our area, it will be interesting to watch these numbers as 2015 sales unfold."

Victoria Real Estate Board

December 1, 2014, Victoria BC - The Victoria Real Estate Board today released its report on real estate activity in the Victoria area for November 2014.

465 properties sold in the Victoria region this November, an increase of 12.9% when compared to the 412 properties sold in November last year.

"This year has been great for Victoria real estate, we've seen a friendly market for buyers and sellers thanks to steady pricing and low mortgage rates," Victoria Real Estate Board President Tim Ayres says. "By early last month sales in the Victoria area met the number of total sales we saw for the entire year of 2013, and now we are 5.18% over last year's sales with another month to go before year end."

The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core this time last year was $482,300. This month the benchmark value increased 1.4% to $489,000.

"Another statistic to watch is the number of active and new listings," adds President Ayres. "682 properties were listed this November, and the total number of properties listed for sale including those newly listed was 3,631. That's 9.6% fewer properties for sale than November last year."

Victoria Real Estate Board President Tim Ayres is available for comment. More information on the November 2014 report and the Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index is available from the Victoria Real Estate Board, vreb.org.
