Navigating Victoria'a Real Estate market in 2024: Darren Day’s Projections for Victoria Real Estate Amid Zoning Changes.

In a comprehensive outlook for the real estate market in Victoria, British Columbia, Darren Day of Day Team Realty incorporates the anticipated changes to zoning set to be initiated by the province in the upcoming spring and summer. 

 

These changes, expected to allow for higher density on single-family lots in the greater Victoria area, add a layer of complexity to the market dynamics and could exert upward pressure on prices for single-family residential properties across the capital region.

Darren Day, brings forth an astute analysis that includes the prediction of a marginal reduction in interest rates, estimating a 1 to 2% drop in overall mortgage rates by the end of 2024. Despite this, the unique positioning of Victoria shields it from substantial price drops, with the city’s moderate climate and the continued influx of buyers from Vancouver and throughout Canada contributing to a maintained level of price consistency in the short term.

The real estate landscape has already witnessed softened prices in response to higher interest rates in 2023. However, the critical factor limiting more significant price decreases has been the persistently low inventory levels, restricting options for serious buyers. 

 

Darren Day and his team, acknowledges that the entrance of new buyers into the market, often with familial financial support leveraging equity, plays a significant role in shaping the local real estate scene positively.

Looking ahead, the impending zoning changes promise to reshape the market further, allowing higher density on single-family lots. 

 

Darren Day, emphasizes the potential impact of this development on single-family residential prices throughout the capital region.

 

 As the province initiates these changes in the coming months, the evolving dynamics of the real estate market will necessitate a nuanced approach for both buyers and sellers. He does admit it’s a bit of a wait and see approach.
