Sales
The number of completed MLS® transactions during the month. A small category can move sharply because only a few properties sold.
Local numbers with useful context
Current Sooke Prices, Sales and Local Trends
Market statistics can help you understand direction, but they need context. Sooke includes condos near the town centre, newer family homes, rural acreages, waterfront properties and building lots. A single average cannot explain all of them.
I publish these reports to separate Sooke figures from broader Greater Victoria totals and explain what the numbers may mean for a real buyer or seller. I also point out when a category has too few monthly sales to support a strong conclusion.

Reading the market
What the Main Statistics Mean
Active Listings
Properties available for sale at month-end. The VREB regional total provides useful context, but it should not be described as Sooke-only inventory.
Benchmark Price
The MLS® Home Price Index estimates the value of a typical property with common attributes. It is different from an average or median sale price.
Average Price
Total sale volume divided by the number of sales. A few high-priced or low-priced transactions can affect it, especially in a small market.
Median Price
The middle sale price after transactions are ordered from lowest to highest. It can still change when the mix of homes sold changes.
Days on Market
The time a listing spends on the market before an accepted offer. Relisted properties and different reporting methods can affect this figure.

Sooke Real Estate Market Report for July 2026
Sooke recorded 31 residential sales in July. The detached-home benchmark moved lower from June, while the townhome benchmark edged higher. Buyers had more time to compare options across the wider Victoria Real Estate Board region, but individual Sooke properties still varied greatly by location, condition and ownership type.
Property-specific advice
A Market Report Cannot Price One Home
Broad statistics are useful for identifying patterns over time. They cannot account for a specific property’s condition, location, view, lot, servicing, strata, renovation quality or sale terms. A useful pricing discussion starts with current comparable properties and the details buyers will notice.
