What this means for you:
The market in Greater Victoria is showing signs of balance — neither heavily favouring sellers nor buyers. There's still strength in the single-family home segment, while condos are more competitive. If you’re considering selling, pricing, and presentation are key. If buying, there are more options and time to decide.
Cowichan Valley (VIREB region)
In the Cowichan Valley and broader Vancouver Island region (reported by VIREB):
Benchmark price for single-family homes in Cowichan: approx. $803,700 — up 5% year-over-year. My Coast Now
The region is holding a “balanced” status — around six months of inventory, which is generally optimal for both buyers and sellers. Business Examiner+2vireb.com+2
While exact unit-sales figures for Cowichan are less prominent in the summary, broader Island data show some slowdown in sales but stable pricing. vireb.com+1
What this means for you:
If you’re selling in Cowichan, you still have favourable conditions — homes that are priced right and well-presented are moving. For buyers, this is a time of opportunity — good selection, steady pricing, and less overheated competition.
✅ Key Takeaways for Buyers & Sellers
Inventory levels are slightly up in Greater Victoria (year-over-year) and stable in Cowichan — giving buyers more choice.
Single-family homes remain stronger than condos in many segments.
Pricing is relatively steady — no huge spikes or deep drops, which means planning and timing can be more strategic.
For sellers: Presentation and accurate pricing matter more than ever.
For buyers: With more listings and less frantic competition, now can be a strong time to act.
