Luxury Homes for Sale in Victoria, BC - An Overview

As noted in the introduction, there are a significant number of luxury homes for sale in Victoria, BC, at any given point in time. The Victoria area is a solid investment and thus a popular destination for more affluent families. 

In the Victoria area, there are typically three types of luxury housing. The first type consists of luxury condos. These generally are penthouses in downtown Victoria or high-end condos along the waterfront. They typically feature spectacular views and also have costly maintenance fees. Young professionals and executives usually find these places perfect because they offer many amenities and a luxurious lifestyle.

The second type is higher-end housing in a very desirable neighbourhood. These are the gorgeous homes where you're paying a little more for the land than the structure itself. Heritage homes are often like this because they are in some of the oldest, most sought-after communities in the Victoria area. 

Finally, the last type of home is the "ultra" luxury home that you can find sprinkled throughout the Greater Victoria Area. These homes typically have tens of thousands of square feet and land in acres, not in feet. These are homes with large amounts of privacy and incredible architecture!

Other Considerations with Luxury Homes for Sale in Victoria, BC

If you want a luxury home in Victoria, please consider these three other things:

Location: Are you searching for something secluded, or are you looking for a home with many conveniences? Are you looking for an older luxury home or new construction? The good news for those living in Victoria is that all of these exist. What you choose, though, will determine where in the Greater Victoria Area you live.

Luxury Condos Frequently Have Luxury Maintenance Fees: If you're looking at luxury condos in Victoria, you should know that many of them have higher-than-average maintenance fees because they tend to have more amenities.

The Median List Price: Please be aware that the median list price for luxury homes for sale in Victoria, BC, is usually above $2 million. Luxury homes here are less expensive than in Vancouver but more costly than many other parts of the country. If you're looking at financing, please make sure you talk with your real estate agent first to understand the process of buying one of these bigger homes.

South Victoria (Oak Bay, Fairfield, James Bay)

The "South Victoria" region consisting of Oak Bay, Fairfield, and James Bay typically has quite a few luxury residences on the market.

Cadboro Bay

Located next to the University of Victoria, Cadboro Bay is another popular hotspot for luxury homes. This neighbourhood is frequently one of the most sought-after in the region, thanks to its proximity to UVic and a quiet, residential lifestyle.

North Saanich

As noted in the introduction, North Saanich is home to many luxury homes for sale in Victoria, BC.
