Every Week Peter and Linda Pfann take a quick barometer reading of the Greater Victoria Real Estate Market (based on MLS information) for you. Below is a slightly crude method to see what activity has occurred in the Victoria Real Estate Market over the past 24 hours.
When you monitor our Victoria Real Estate Daily Market Watch over a period of time you can easily see if and or how the Victoria Real Estate Market is following a traditional or less usual pattern.
As always it is nearly impossible to apply the generalities of the entire market place to your particular personal situation, we encourage you to always best to consult with your local real estate specialist (in Greater Victoria that would be Peter and Linda Pfann off course). It would be our pleasure and privilege to review and discuss all your plans, dreams and options, in total confidence and without obligations.

We call it Victoria Market Snapshot, and this amazing little tool will ask you a few questions, and will then provide you with a monthly snapshot of the property type(s), location (s) and activity by emailing you a quick link to this totally personalized tool.

We have found, over the past 25 years, that early in the year inventory builds faster compared to at any other time of the year. During the mid to late spring we tend to start seeing a more balanced situation between number of new listings and listings back on the market, versus, sales pending, actual sales, cancellations and expired listings.
Later in the year we tend to see inventory decline a bit (as well as the number of sales).
On a monthly base you will typically also see that most sales will complete (ownership transfers) at or near the end of the month. These are the typical market movements, but one can never be certain of these trends to occur until one reviews the years events after it has happened....

When The Number of Properties added to the Inventory Exceeds the Number of Properties Removed from the inventory for a longer period of time (4+ months), the market is slowing down and prices will likely level or reduce.
If The Number of Properties Removed from the Market Exceeds the New Inventory for a longer period of time (4+ months) the market is active, and prices will be level and eventually increase..
