Victoria BC Real Estate - Find your Place on the Island 

Greater Victoria is one of Canada's most sought-after real estate markets — and for good reason. With a mild Pacific climate, stunning natural surroundings, a vibrant urban core, and communities ranging from oceanfront villages to master-planned family neighbourhoods, the Victoria region offers something genuinely exceptional for every type of buyer, seller, and investor.

Whether you are searching for a downtown condominium steps from the Inner Harbour, a single-family home in an established Saanich neighbourhood, a new construction townhome on the West Shore, or a waterfront property with views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca — this is where your search begins.

I'm Janine Thomson, a REALTOR® serving buyers and sellers across all of Greater Victoria and the West Shore. I know this market deeply, I work across every price point and community, and I'm committed to giving every client the kind of informed, honest guidance that leads to decisions they feel confident about — not just today, but for years to come.

Browse by Property Type

Homes for Sale in Victoria BC Single-family detached homes are the most sought-after property type across Greater Victoria, and the market for them spans an enormous range — from entry-level ranchers in Langford and Esquimalt to heritage character homes in Oak Bay and Fairfield, to custom ocean-view estates on the Saanich Peninsula. Whether you're a growing family looking for space, a buyer upgrading from a condo or townhome, or someone relocating to the island for the first time, finding the right home in the right neighbourhood is what I do best. → View Homes for Sale

Buying a single-family home means the freedom of your own land, no strata fees or bylaws, and full control over your space — but also full responsibility for the roof, yard, and everything in between. Explore buying a single-family home.

Selling a single-family home gives you the widest pool of buyers and the strongest appreciation potential — but presentation, curb appeal, and pricing to the right buyer are what set the best sales apart. Learn how to sell your home.

Condos for Sale in Victoria BC Victoria's condominium market is one of the most diverse in the province. Downtown Victoria, James Bay, and Cook Street Village offer urban living with walkability scores that rival any Canadian city. The West Shore — particularly Langford and Colwood — offers newer condo buildings at more accessible price points. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or an investor seeking strong rental returns, Victoria's condo market has meaningful options at every level. → View Condos for Sale

Buying or selling a condo or townhouse comes with a few extra considerations — strata documents, Form B, and depreciation reports. Learn more here about Strata properties here

Townhomes for Sale in Victoria BC Townhomes represent one of the best value propositions in Greater Victoria — offering the space and livability of a detached home, with the lower price point and reduced maintenance of a strata property. From contemporary new construction townhomes in Langford's Westhills and Colwood's Royal Bay, to established strata complexes in Saanich and View Royal, townhomes attract families, professionals, and buyers making their first move into freehold-style living. → View Townhomes for Sale

Condos and townhouses have a few extra steps when buying or selling. Here's what you need to know when buying. Here's a simple guide for sellers - read more here.

New Construction in Greater Victoria New construction is one of the most active segments of the Greater Victoria market, driven primarily by growth on the West Shore. Presale condominiums, new townhome complexes, and spec single-family homes are available across Langford, Colwood, and the broader peninsula. Buying new construction — particularly presale — involves unique contracts, deposit structures, and timelines that differ significantly from a standard resale purchase. I help buyers navigate every step of that process. → View Homes & Pre-sales

New homes and pre-sales come with their own rules — from GST to warranty to long completion dates. Read our guide.

Waterfront Properties in Victoria BC Waterfront real estate in Greater Victoria is among the most coveted on Vancouver Island. From the oceanfront bluffs of Colwood's Royal Bay and the tidal shores of Sidney and North Saanich, to the Inner Harbour-adjacent properties of James Bay and the Gorge waterway in Saanich — waterfront homes here offer an unmatched combination of natural beauty, lifestyle, and long-term value. Supply is genuinely constrained, demand is persistent, and waterfront listings move quickly. If waterfront is your goal, it pays to have an informed, well-connected REALTOR® in your corner. →

Why Greater Victoria?

Greater Victoria consistently ranks among the top places to live in Canada — and the real estate market reflects that desirability. A few things that make this region stand apart:

Climate — The mildest winters of any major Canadian city. Snow is rare. Spring arrives early. Summers are warm, dry, and long.

Natural Beauty — Ocean, mountains, forests, and farmland all within 30 minutes of virtually any address. Goldstream Park, Thetis Lake, East Sooke Regional Park, the Gulf Islands, and hundreds of kilometres of trails are on the doorstep.

Lifestyle — A walkable, arts-rich urban core in Victoria proper, surrounded by distinct communities each with their own character — from the English seaside charm of Oak Bay to the small-town warmth of Sidney by the Sea.

Education — Two universities (University of Victoria and Royal Roads), two colleges (Camosun and Pacific Christian), and strong K–12 public and independent school options across the region.

Economy — Anchored by provincial government, the military, technology, healthcare, tourism, and education — Greater Victoria's economy is diversified, resilient, and growing.

Connectivity — BC Ferries connects the island to Metro Vancouver multiple times daily. Victoria International Airport offers direct flights to major Canadian and US cities. The Galloping Goose and Lochside regional trails provide cycling routes that are the envy of the country.
