By
Industry Observer with Retired BC Realtor

Victoria and Oak Bay BC Luxury Waterfront Properties have been raising in value over this past year and you may want to check out some of these fabulous homes on the water.

A 22 acre Wolf Island in Becher Bay is fetching $ 7 Million; there is a home on the island and the buyers are International buyers. Victoria BC waterfront properties are gaining International appeal and it is becoming increasingly more popular to shop for these multi million dollar waterfront properties through websites on the Internet. A Shoal Point Condominium in James Bay sold for $ 4.2 million. There are currently waterfront mansions for sale at $15.5 million and $18.5 million which seem to be testing the market these days. The highest asking price for a Victoria waterfront home currently is $ 28.5 million!

The record sale price for a historic waterfront Oak Bay Uplands property was $10.5 million and on the same street another for $ 9.75 million in 2006.

Real estate agents throughout Greater Victoria are marketing these Victoria BC waterfront homes to people living in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Moscow. The high end market in the waterfront area is expanding and you will begin to see more sales in these markets. Many buyers in the super high end market buy two to three homes. There is more disposal income available these days for the wealthy and they don't mind spending it. Greater Victoria currently has the highest priced homes for sale in Canada.

Victoria is the rich uncle no one knows about in Canada! Everyone talks about Vancouver being the most expensive city, but they don't realise Victoria has some amazing home at prices many multi-millionaires would balk at!
