How This Page Works
The listings on this page come from the MLS® system of the Victoria Real Estate Board and refresh automatically. They cover houses, condos, townhomes, manufactured homes, multi-family properties and lots for sale in Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Langford, Colwood, Highlands, Metchosin, Sooke, Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney. Rentals and commercial listings are left out.
The page shows the 120 newest listings and updates as soon as a new one is entered. At about 25 new listings a day, that reaches back roughly five days; in the quieter winter months it covers more. If you only want one kind of home, the just listed houses, just listed condos and just listed townhomes pages each show about the past eight days of their own type.
A new listing means newly listed, not newly built. Many of the homes here are decades old. If you are looking for new construction, see new construction houses, new condos and the new developments list.
Why the First Week Matters
Everyone who is actively looking sees a new listing at about the same time, so showings and offers tend to come early. For the seller, that first wave of attention is the test of the price: a well-priced home usually draws interest in its first days, while one that passes the first couple of weeks without an offer is more likely to see a price change. For buyers, the first week is when you compete with everyone else who has been waiting for the right home, and also when you have the best chance at a home that is priced right.
The balance of the market changes how much this matters. In September 2026 the Victoria Real Estate Board recorded 463 sales against 3,811 active listings at month end, and said the market had moved into buyer's market territory. With that much choice, buyers can take more time, but the best-priced new listings in popular neighbourhoods still move quickly. The monthly MLS® statistics page tracks these figures as each month is released.
What Comes On the Market in a Typical Week
In the last week of October 2026, the 176 new listings broke down like this:
- Houses: 85 new listings, with a median asking price of about $1.13 million. Saanich had 20, the City of Victoria 16 and Langford 11.
- Condos: 49 new listings, with a median asking price of about $649,000, led by the City of Victoria (14), Saanich (13) and Langford (7).
- Townhomes: 33 new listings, with a median asking price of about $825,000. Langford (7) and Colwood (5) had the most.
- Other: a handful of manufactured homes, lots and a multi-family property.
These are asking prices, not sale prices. For comparison, VREB's September 2026 MLS® Home Price Index benchmark for a single-family home in the Victoria core was $1,280,100, and $547,800 for a core condominium.
When New Listings Come Out
Nearly all new listings go live on weekdays. In late October 2026, Monday to Friday brought between about 25 and 40 new Greater Victoria listings a day, while each weekend day brought only a few. Many sellers list early in the week so their home is fresh for weekend showings and open houses, so checking this page on weekday evenings, and again before the weekend, catches most of what is new. Over the year, spring usually brings the most new listings and the weeks around Christmas the fewest.
How to Move Quickly on a New Listing
When the right home comes up, the buyers who are ready first have the advantage. A few things make the difference:
- Get pre-approved. Know your budget, your down payment and how your lender treats strata fees, suites and condition. Our mortgage financing guide covers the stress test and down payment rules.
- Book a showing early. Ask whether the seller has set an offer date. Some sellers hold offers for several days to gather interest; others review offers as they come in.
- Review the documents fast. For a condo or townhome, that means the strata documents (see our condo buying guide). For any home, it means the title search, the property disclosure statement and, for older houses, whether there was ever an oil tank.
- Write a clean offer. Our guides to writing an offer and competing in multiple offers explain deposits, subjects and dates.
The three-day rescission period
Since January 3, 2023, most buyers of residential property in BC can cancel an accepted offer within three business days by giving the seller written notice and paying a rescission fee of 0.25% of the price. Neither side can waive it, and it does not apply to leasehold properties, auctions or court-ordered sales. It is a safety net, not a substitute for doing your homework before you write. Read more about the home buyer rescission period.
Where New Listings Come From
Each part of Greater Victoria adds a different mix of homes every week. The City of Victoria, Oak Bay and Esquimalt bring condos and character houses near downtown, the Inner Harbour and the core's villages. Saanich, the largest municipality, usually has the most new houses, from Gordon Head and Cordova Bay to Royal Oak and Gorge. The Westshore, meaning Langford, Colwood and View Royal, adds newer townhomes, condos and family houses from two decades of building. The Saanich Peninsula, with Sidney, North Saanich and Central Saanich, brings condos and ranchers popular with downsizers along with rural and waterfront homes, and Sooke, Metchosin and the Highlands add houses and acreages at lower prices per square foot.
To browse one area, start from Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Langford, Colwood or the Saanich Peninsula.

Questions Buyers Ask
How often is this page updated?
The listings refresh automatically from the MLS system, so new listings appear shortly after they are entered and sold or withdrawn listings drop off. The newest are always at the top.
How many new listings come on the market in Greater Victoria each week?
It varies with the season. In the last week of October 2026 there were 176 across Greater Victoria's 13 municipalities, about 25 a day on average, and nearly all of them were listed on weekdays.
Does just listed mean newly built?
No. A just listed home is any home that has only just been put up for sale, whatever its age. For newly built homes, see the new construction houses, new condos and new developments pages.
Can I cancel an offer after it is accepted?
In BC, most buyers of residential property have a three-business-day rescission period after acceptance. Cancelling costs a fee of 0.25% of the price, the right cannot be waived, and it does not apply to leasehold properties, auctions or court-ordered sales.
