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

For an evening out, there’s the Victoria Ballet Society, the Belfry Theater, jazz clubs and everything in between.
