RECENT HISTORY
The implementation of Speculation/Vacancy and Foreign Buyers tax softened the pricing tracjectory of waterfront homes in Victoria in 2018 and 2019 but they have rebounded since.
For 2019, there were 164 sales of Single Family Waterfront Homes (a jump from 141 the previous year). Many properties in greater Victoria valued over $1M saw some retraction in 2019 as the luxury market continued to feel the effect of specific tax laws. This dip is consistent with the most recent BC Assessment Values that reached homeowners in the first week of January, 2020. Contrary to this information, the average sale price of waterfront property in Victoria jumped from $1,524,436 in 2019 to $2,054,827 so far in 2020.
- sale price to assessed value ratio (2019) – 111.1%
