Victoria has seen an increase in both the selling prices as well as the volume of sales over the last year making 2016 a record year for real estate. Unlike the other major centres we are lucky to have some of the best value properties in Canada with Victoria being one of the most desired cities to live and work or retire and play.

The average home value has hit a benchmark of $766,000 with many of the outlining municipalities seeing increases as well as people are looking for the more competitively priced homes or just that there are more single family new homes being constructed.

When looking to purchase a house, condo, or townhouse in Victoria it is best to have an agent that will work hard for you and provide current information and insight to getting the best home for the best price.

Victoria is rated as the one of the best places to live, work or retire in Canada and it is easy to understand why. With a strong economy which consists of hitech industry and manufacturing, tourism, government and military as some of the largest employers. Victoria has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Canada and because of Victoria's desirability there is a shortage of rental housing making Victoria an ideal place to invest in real estate.

Considering the location of Victoria on the southern tip of Vancouver Island our climate is more temperate than anywhere in Canada and also allows for the outdoor adventures that many seek. From yachting, diving and even surfing our diverse coastline will accommodate any ocean sport enthusiast and there are numerous marina's to dock your pleasure craft. Epic hiking and nature exploring is out your front door and within minutes you can be deep in the serine countryside of our beautiful rainforest landscape.

Arts and Entertainment are a staple here in the Capital city of Victoria with a huge population of artists and eclectic entertainment throughout our great city. You can explore many great art galleries or take in local theater productions. Many great festivals are held throughout the year as well, from Jazz Fest to Rifflandia there is something for everyone.

Some of the most amazing Golf courses are located in the Greater Victoria Area from the exclusive Victoria and Uplands Golf courses that are member clubs to some of the most scenic and challenging public courses like Highland Pacific and Olympic View and of course the world famous Jack Nicholas designed Bear Mountain 36 hole golf course located on the Westshore. Being an avid golfer myself and having enjoyed almost all of the courses here in Victoria I do focus on many golf course related properties.
