Follow the market for homes inside the map area this site draws around Victoria High School, the city-centre catchment that runs from downtown and James Bay through Fairfield, Fernwood and North Park to the Hillside and Burnside edges. The figures below are generated from current MLS® data and update as homes are listed, sold or repriced.
Catchment market caution: About 380 homes were listed inside the catchment map in late October 2026, and roughly two-thirds of them were condos, so the averages lean toward apartment prices and sizes. The cheapest listings include a few unusual small units, and a single luxury harbourfront condo can lift the averages. A home inside this area is also not a guarantee of a seat at Victoria High; placement depends on School District 61 registration rules and capacity.

How to Read the Numbers
Understanding Catchment Market Data
This catchment takes in downtown Victoria, so studio condos, heritage conversions and family houses all land in the same set of averages.
01
Condos Dominate the Count
Downtown and James Bay towers and low-rises supply most of the listings, so the average bedroom count and living area sit well below what a family house offers. Check each listing’s property type in the tables before drawing conclusions about houses.
02
Houses and Conversions Are Scarce
Detached houses and character homes split into suites make up a small share of listings and are found mostly in Fairfield, Fernwood, Rockland and James Bay. With so few on the market, one or two sales can shift their price per square foot noticeably.
03
Boundaries Are Not a Guarantee
The map on this site approximates the catchment and overlaps neighbouring school maps in places. Catchment lines, registration rules and program capacity can change, so confirm a specific address with School District 61 (Greater Victoria) before relying on school access.
04
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.
