6 Reasons To Invest In Victoria BC

Residents of Victoria enjoy one of the mildest climates in Canada. And with so much more to offer than just warm sunny summers, here are a few reasons you should invest in Victoria BC real estate NOW!

6 reasons to invest in Victoria BC.

  1. House prices.

    Victoria, while more expensive than our neighbor to the north, Nanaimo, is still very affordable when compared to larger metropolitan areas like Vancouver. The greater Victoria area has many suburbs offering reasonably priced homes to suit most budgets, including condos, townhomes or single family dwellings.

  2. Low interest rates.

    Interest rates remain low even after a slight increase in late 2016. Rates have been holding steady since then so, for qualified individuals, financing is available at a fairly low cost. Buyers can afford to purchase a home that meets all their needs and requirements.

  3. Health care.

    Doctors, dentists, chiropractors and many other medical professionals are all easily accessible, with holistic and natural practitioners available as well. Victoria has two hospitals offering world class care, with Victoria General Hospital and Royal Jubilee Hospital providing some of the best medical care on Vancouver Island.

  4. Things to do.

    In Victoria there’s no shortage of opportunities for those who love to take their bikes out, go hiking, hit the surf, hang out at the beach or park, or participate in any number of sporting activities around town. There are also plenty of music festivals and community events, for every age and every interest. Visit Tourism Victoria at www.tourismvictoria.com to find events all year long

  5. Cultural activities.

    The number of museums, cultural activities, theater events and art exhibits in Victoria is seemingly endless. From Butchart Gardens to the Craigdarroch Castle Museum, to Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site you’re never going to be bored. For an evening out, there’s the Victoria Ballet Society, the Belfry Theater, jazz clubs and everything in between. Tourism Victoria can provide the dates for specific events, so check out their on-line events calendar.

  6. Education.

    Your kids will benefit from receiving a first-rate education in Victoria. From pre-school to University graduation the kids will learn from some of the best educator’s Vancouver Island has to offer.

For those lucky enough to already call Victoria home, you know what a great city it is to live in. If you’re planning to relocate, why not come and spend some time here, learning firsthand why NOW is the best time to invest in real estate in the Victoria area.

5 Reasons To Move To Canada?

What does Canada have to offer people looking to relocate from other countries? Are you looking for reasons to move to Canada? We think there’s plenty to love about living here, but let’s take a look at just a few things that make Canada a great place to live.

Why move to Canada or more specific – Victoria!

We are diverse and multicultural

No matter what your ethnicity or what country you’re from, you’re welcome here. Canada is truly a melting pot, and much like the United States, has a large population of immigrants. A lot of us have lived here for many years and consider ourselves Canadian. We may not have been born here but we embrace the traditions and culture of Canada as our own.

It’s a safe place to call home

We don’t have to live in fear like many countries around the world. Canada is a peaceful country that offers safety and security to everyone who lives here.

There is a lot of opportunities for prosperity

Not just financially, but in many other ways as well. You’ll have the chance to become successful in your own right, doing what you love. And whether that’s being a stay-at-home parent or becoming a business tycoon, or something in between, there’s something for everyone.

It’s beautiful from the East coast to the West coast

From the east coast charm of Newfoundland, to the west coast’s raw beauty, Canada is geographically breathtaking. From the arctic of the north to the moderate rainforests and expansive prairies, there’s somewhere to suit every taste.

It’s affordable

While some of the larger cities like Vancouver or Toronto, are among the most expensive in Canada, there are many other places that remain economically attractive. The city of Nanaimo has one of the best costs of living in Canada, where homes are affordable, property taxes are relatively inexpensive and businesses can grow and thrive. And if you’re from the United States, the current exchange rate gives strong buying power to your US dollars, making it even more attractive.

In addition to having all of the features noted above, Victoria offers world class education, a universal health care system, a clean, friendly environment and an ideal lifestyle to work and live. The amazing quality of life enjoyed by the residents of Victoria is second to none.
