International Buyers
Relocation Guide

Relocation Process

International buyers considering property in Victoria face specific regulations including the foreign buyer tax, property transfer tax, and speculator vacancy tax. The relocation process typically involves researching neighbourhoods, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, booking a house-hunting trip, and working with Andrew to find the perfect home. Andrew and his team coordinate with your employer's relocation department if applicable.

Housing Recommendations

Housing options vary by neighbourhood and budget. Condos and townhomes are available from $400,000. Single-family homes range from $750,000 to $1.3M+. Waterfront and executive properties are available in premium neighbourhoods. Andrew and his team can help you find the right property type for your needs and budget.

Buying Process

The home-buying process in Victoria is similar to other Canadian provinces: get pre-approved, find a property, make an offer with conditions, complete inspections, and close. Andrew and his team guide you through every step. For first-time buyers, the BC government offers a First Time Home Buyers' Program that reduces or eliminates property transfer tax on homes under $500,000.
