Getting to know: Central Saanich

What’s happening with the real estate market in one of our local municipalities

Published on May 2, 2026

Central Saanich is home to more than 17,000 residents. The area offers a rural aspect close to the ocean and amenities.

Michelle Martin is a local REALTOR®, a Director of the Victoria Real Estate Board, and a Central Saanich enthusiast, who has supported many buyers and sellers with their properties in Central Saanich.

“Central Saanich has scenic farmland and pockets of ocean views,” said Martin. “This area is perfect for anyone who wants to live a bit more of a rural life with the convenience of town. Residents enjoy a lifestyle that blends privacy and community with great local markets, walking trails, and nearby beaches. Whether it’s the appeal of larger properties, a quieter setting, or simply the ability to step away from the business of the city without being far from it, Central Saanich continues to be a sought-after location for those looking to enjoy the best of Peninsula living.”

Though a smaller market than some other local municipalities, those shopping for a property in the Central Saanich area will find many options to choose from, with close to 50 single family homes for sale right now, ranging in price from $675,000 to over $16 million. The condo market currently offers over 30 options, starting at just over $500,000, up to $1.15 million. There’s even a handful of townhomes for sale, starting near $650,000.
