Character Houses Lead
Detached character homes are the largest group, so the overall numbers track the house market. A waterfront sale or two can lift the average sharply without ordinary homes changing in value.

South Oak Bay market caution: This report combines condos near Oak Bay Avenue, character houses and multimillion-dollar waterfront homes, so the neighbourhood-wide average sits well above the regional norm and can move with the mix of what is selling. In a small, tightly held market like this, read these figures as a snapshot of the active listings rather than a valuation of any one home.

How to Read the Numbers
Understanding South Oak Bay Market Data
South Oak Bay is a small, prestige market, and the statistics are most useful once you know what is driving them.
A Tightly Held Market
Homes here are often held for many years, so inventory is thin and a single prime listing can skew the averages. Low turnover is part of the neighbourhood's character.
Land and Location Drive Price
In an established neighbourhood like this, the street, the lot, the trees and the walk to the village and the water can matter as much as the house itself.
Active Listings, Not Sold Prices
These statistics describe current asking prices and days on market, not sold values. Valuing a specific home takes recent comparable sales and adjustments for that property.
