Downtown Condos Set the Average
Studio and one-bedroom condos on the north side of downtown make up most of the inventory, which keeps the average price, size and bedroom count low compared with the houses on Fernwood’s side streets.
Current George Jay Catchment Data
George Jay Catchment Market Report
Market data for homes listed inside the George Jay Elementary catchment, which covers north downtown Victoria and Chinatown, North Park and much of Fernwood. Figures are generated from current MLS® data and update as homes are listed, sold or repriced.
Catchment market caution: About 110 homes were listed inside the catchment at the start of November 2026, and roughly three in four were condos, mostly downtown, so the averages lean toward small strata units. A catchment boundary is not a guarantee of school placement.

How to Read the Numbers
Understanding Catchment Market Data
Downtown studios and Fernwood family houses share this catchment, so its averages reflect the mix more than any one kind of home.
Fernwood and North Park Add Variety
Character houses, duplexes and townhomes in Fernwood and North Park sit in a separate band, mostly between about $560,000 and $1.8 million, so families looking for a ground-level home should filter listings by type.
Boundaries Are Not a Guarantee
The George Jay catchment shrank in 2020 when South Park and Bank Street gained catchments of their own, a reminder that lines can move. Confirm the current catchment for a specific address with School District 61 (Greater Victoria).
Active Listings vs. Completed Sales
The statistics describe what sellers are currently asking and how long listings have been on the market. They are not a sold-price index. Valuing a specific home takes recent comparable sales, current competition and adjustments for that home.
