How do I compete with the growing number of listings around me? - Ask Victoria

How do I compete with the growing number of listings around me?

Price accurately. Present well. Market aggressively. Those three things separate listings that sell from listings that sit. Your realtor should be using professional photography, video, social media promotion, and strong MLS exposure.

**Current inventory context:** February 2026 ended with **2,903 active listings**, up 10.4% from February 2025 . This is the most competitive environment Victoria sellers have faced in a decade. Open houses still draw traffic, but only if the online presentation compels buyers to visit. If your listing is not generating showings in the first two weeks, something needs to change — either the price or the presentation. In a buyer’s market, there’s no room for “testing the waters” at an aspirational price.
