Victoria Real Estate — May 2026: The Market Military Buyers Have Been Waiting For 🏡

For the first time in over a decade, Greater Victoria has the most inventory we've seen in 11 years — and that changes everything for buyers.

📊 MAY 2026 BY THE NUMBERS:
✅ 713 properties sold (up 10.9% from April)
✅ 4,029 active listings (highest in 11 years)
✅ Prices remain stable — $1.339M benchmark for single-family homes (up just 0.3% year-over-year)
✅ Condos at $551,400 (down 1.9% YoY — excellent value)
✅ Townhomes up 8.9% in sales — strong demand, great value

🎯 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR MILITARY BUYERS:
If you're relocating to CFB Esquimalt this summer, you're entering one of the most balanced markets Victoria has seen in years:

✔️ More homes to choose from during House Hunting Trips
✔️ Time to compare options (not rushed offers)
✔️ Negotiation leverage (no more bidding wars)
✔️ Stable pricing = easier financial planning

🌊 TOP MILITARY RELOCATION MUNICIPALITIES:
📍 Langford & Colwood — newer builds, strong inventory
📍 Esquimalt & View Royal — closest to CFB Esquimalt
📍 Saanich East & West — excellent schools, long-term value
📍 Central Saanich — ideal for postings to 443 Sqn

This is a rare window where informed buyers can move strategically, not desperately.
