🏡  Thinking about investing in Victoria real estate? Discover the smartest property types to buy for long-term growth.. From freehold land to multi-unit homes, townhomes, and condos, I explain where you can maximize your returns and make strategic choices in Victoria’s competitive market. 

👉 Inside this video, you’ll learn: Why freehold land is the top long-term investment in Victoria How multi-unit income properties combine land appreciation with rental income Why townhomes are a strong option in the “missing middle” market What to know about condos, location, and strata health for smart investing Tips for navigating BC tenancy laws if you’re considering rental properties Whether you’re a first-time investor or seasoned buyer, this guide will help you make informed decisions in Victoria’s real estate market.

Build More Homes on Your Property in Greater Victoria

✅ BOOK an Appointment with Harrison 🗓️ https://calendly.com/harrison-caliberpropertygroup

🏡 Did you know your Victoria property could legally fit up to six homes? BC’s new Bill 44 and the Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) policy are reshaping what’s possible on single-family lots across Greater Victoria. In this video, I break down what the new housing rules mean for homeowners, buyers, and investors—in under five minutes. 

👉 Watch to learn:

  • What Bill 44 and SSMUH actually are 
  • How zoning changes impact properties in Victoria, Saanich, and surrounding municipalities
  • How many units you can build (4–6 depending on size and transit) 
  • What restrictions might still apply 
  • And how these changes could affect your property value or investment strategy

These new housing rules could open doors to more density, more opportunity, and higher property potential—but also create confusion for homeowners. If you want help understanding what’s possible on your lot or want to know if your property title has restrictions, I can help you check your zoning and explore your options.
