I don't think anyone can argue that Vancouver hasn't been overvalued for a long, long time.

October property sales surge 20%; inventory dampens
http://victoria.citi...entory-dampens/
The start to the fourth quarter of 2015 showed no signs of let up for Victoria real-estate.
According to statistics released by the Victoria Real-Estate Board, 734 homes on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sold in October, beating out last October's total of 602 sales by 20%. These figures, however, do not include pre-sales of condos, townhomes or single family dwellings which are rarely listed on the MLS.
Victoria REALTOR® Marko Juras says 2015 has been a pivotal year in the local real-estate industry since the market crash of 2008. [Full article]

Downtown Victoria building boom to deliver nearly 1,000 housing units by 2018
http://victoria.citi...-units-by-2018/
Nearly 1,000 condos and rental apartments are currently under construction in downtown Victoria as a fever pitch building boom continues.
A seemingly insatiable appetite for purpose-built rental homes is the driving force behind construction activity totaling 643 units across five projects. From affordable to condo-like quality apartments, developers are rushing to address a multi-decade lull in purpose-built rental construction with lenders eager to invest in stable, long-term opportunities as a hedge against low interest rates.[Full article]

Buyers flock to Latoria Road corridor's semi-rural suburban housing
http://victoria.citi...burban-housing/
The Latoria Road corridor cutting through the southern edge of the municipalities of Colwood and Langford is undergoing an explosive transformation as buyers turn to the semi-rural suburban community on the Westshore.
The four kilometer long east-west connector, once lined with farms and acreages, links Metchosin Road in Colwood and Happy Valley Road in Langford, respectively, and represents one of the most active development areas on the south Island where nearly 700 homes are in-planning, under construction or have been recently occupied. In addition to that figure approximately 450 homes have been earmarked for development at Colwood's Olympic View Golf Club, accessed off Latoria Road, and 1,800 residences are envisioned for the Royal Bay community soon to get underway at the east end of Latoria Road (recently realigned and renamed Latoria Boulevard).

Future unhappy TCH commuters.

It's one of those things, I guess. Either you pay $800,000 plus high taxes for a home with a yard in the centre of the urban core, or you pay $650,000 with lower taxes for a larger home with a larger yard that requires a commute. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Totally damned both ways. I chose the former and if I hadn't I'm sure I'd be a TCH complainer too. Aren't the taxes about the same though? I thought the taxes in Colwood for instance are quite high, $ for $.

Not to mention a 30 minute drive for a good cocktail or a coffee. Although that close to the world's best 1.50 hot dog? Pros and cons..... pros and cons.......

I quite like that area myself, actually. Royal Bay is going to be insanely popular. Think Bear Mountain+Royal Oak+Dean Park but oceanside. It's going to be spectacular.
