Victoria Real Estate Board
Victoria Core benchmark, August 2026: single family $1,301,800, condominium $553,600. 591 sales, up 12.6% year over year. VREB reports a core area figure rather than a City of Victoria only figure.
Public administration is the second largest employer in the region at 27,780 jobs, and 23.4% of the metropolitan area is aged 65 or over. Stable salaried income and a large retired cohort make for a distinctive file mix.
City 91,867; metropolitan area 397,237 (2021 Census)
Victoria runs on stable income. Provincial government jobs, CFB Esquimalt and the universities mean salaried borrowers and defined benefit pensions, which lenders like, and a large retired population brings equity rich owners.
That combination produces a distinctive book: clean purchases for public sector buyers, downsizing and equity take out for retirees, and strata files across a condo market that makes up a large share of the core.
BCFSA regulates mortgage brokering in British Columbia. From 13 October 2026 the Mortgage Services Act replaces the Mortgage Brokers Act, moving BC from registration to licensing with principal brokers accountable for their brokerages. The transition education deadline for existing registrants was 22 September 2026. Current as of 24 September 2026.
