Victoria real estate activity picks up as restrictions ease
A total of 457 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this May, 46.1 per cent fewer
than the 848 properties sold in May 2019 but 59.2 per cent more than the previous month of April
2020. Sales of condominiums were down 55.7 per cent from May 2019 with 108 units sold. Sales of
single family homes were down 42.9 per cent from May 2019 with 254 sold.
“Our market continues to respond to the current health crisis,” says Victoria Real Estate Board
President Sandi-Jo Ayers. “Activity in real estate right now echoes the activity in our broader
community – as restrictions gradually begin to lift - so too have our sales and listings numbers. Of
course, like any industry, we do not expect a sudden shift back to any kind of normal. That said, one
theme that persists in our market is that well-priced properties in high demand areas continue to see
multiple offers. Demand exists and we continue to have motivated buyers searching for their perfect
home.”
There were 2,544 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at
the end of May 2020, 15.7 percent fewer properties than the total available at the end of May 2019 but
a 10.4 per cent increase from the 2,305 active listings for sale at the end of April 2020.
“If you’re considering buying or selling a property right now you will find the experience different than
pre-pandemic,” adds Ayers. “REALTORS® are doing our part to ensure that there is not a resurgence
of COVID-19 in our community by following government health and safety guidelines, by leveraging
technology to facilitate many aspects of the real estate transaction virtually and by implementing
various clean showing protocols. Your Realtor will navigate the new processes and requirements to
keep you, your property and our city safe and healthy.”
The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the
Victoria Core in May 2019 was $863,000. The benchmark value for the same home in May 2020
increased by 2.6 per cent to $885,400, 0.1 per cent more than April’s value of $884,600. The MLS®
HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in May 2019 was $516,400, while
the benchmark value for the same condominium in May 2020 increased by 3.5 per cent to $534,300,
0.1 per cent more than the April value of $533,600.

Sales to Active Listings Ratio
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
downward pressure on prices, and a "sellers' market", where there is upward pressure on prices.
- below 10%, there is downward pressure on prices (buyers' market)
- above 25%, there is upward pressure on prices (sellers' market)
- in the 15-20% range, there is little pressure on prices either way (balanced market)

4. The Victoria Real Estate Board uses the MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) to report on market
trends. The MLS® HPI uses the concept of a benchmark home, a notional home with common
attributes of typical homes in a defined area.
Through the analysis of over ten years of Victoria Real Estate Board MLS® sales data, the MLS®
HPI defined benchmark homes for Victoria in each category (single family homes, townhouses,
condos) and for each neighbourhood. The benchmark starting point was 2005, where each type of
property and neighbourhood was assigned an index value of 100.

The Sales to Active Listings Ratio
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.
Based on a regression analysis performed by the Economics Department of the BC Real Estate
Association in each market area of the province, the Sales to Active Listings Ratio for Victoria can be
interpreted as follows:
- below 14%, there is downward pressure on prices (buyers' market)
- above 20%, there is upward pressure on prices (sellers' market)
- in the 14-20% range, there is little pressure on prices either way (balanced market)
