进入夏天，维多利亚房地产市场持续火爆“尽管我们总是期待市场在夏天会减缓步伐，但维多利亚房地产市场仍然持续生机勃勃。”维多利亚房地产局主席Ara Balabanian说。“7月份，市场很青睐价格较低的房源，70万以下的公寓、联排和独栋，有很多都收到多个买家的报价。”
7月份大维地区成交总数为790，比2016年7月同期的972个少18.7%。
Balabanian接着说：“7月份的10年平均成交数为700出头，所以今年7月的数字实际上不错，显示出旺盛的需求。年初时我们预测今年市场还是会火爆，尽管不会达到去年的程度。事实和我们预测的一样。我们只是没想到库存会这么低，市场上挂牌的房源一直低于2000个。从好的方面看，现在比今年年初的库存已经多了26.7%，但库存仍然很低，给价格造成压力。”
7月底的市场挂牌总量为1921个，比6月底高0.3%，但比2016年的7月底的2161个，少11.1%。
7月的房市销售价格指数还没有统计出来。

Victoria Real Estate Market Remains Hot Into the Summer Months
Aug 1, 2017 - "The activity level in the Victoria real estate market continues to be brisk, though we always expect a slowdown in the summer months," says 2017 Victoria Real Estate Board President Ara Balabanian. "This July, we saw a strong focus on the lower priced end of the market, with condos and townhomes and single family homes listed for under $700,000 in high demand. Many of those properties saw multiple offer situations."
A total of 790 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this July, 18.7 per cent fewer than the 972 properties sold in July last year.
"The ten year average for sales in July is just over 700 properties," adds President Balabanian. "So the numbers from last month illustrate an ongoing demand for homes in Victoria. We anticipated at the beginning of the year that we would see another busy market - without the record breaking numbers we saw in 2016 - and we are seeing exactly that. The surprise has been the low inventory levels, with listings for sale consistently below 2,000. The good news is that compared to the start of the year we have 26.7 per cent more listings on the market, but that supply is still lower than we expected, which puts pressure on pricing and availability."
There were 1,921 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service
