Week 12 - March 18, 2025

This is a new weekly service where we bring to your attention a really hot property or offer that we have just dug up in the Greater Victoria market area. If you would like more information on any of these properties or offers then call or email me with week# and property#. Contact info is at the bottom of this post.

This will usually include 3 deals, a Single Family Detached home, Townhome, and Condomium. However, from time to time I may send out only 1 or 2 properties if there is a time limit on the offers. Note that previous week's specials may not be available in the following week or two as they go fast.

cheers,
Gary

You will not be able to book a self-contained non-principal residence short-term rental in British Columbia, Canada after May 1, 2024.

This is Part 2, the continuation of the winner and loser analysis of the stakeholders affect by the B.C. Short-Term Rental Accommodation Act on October 7, 2023. If you have not see Part 1 first then see the link below this video to view this first. It will make a lot more sense. 

Are you aware of the new B.C. short term rental ban effective May 1, 2024? Do you know what is happening? Are you thinking of buying one of these lucrative rental units? Or do you already own a legal licensed short-term vacation rental in B.C.?

You might be really sorry if you jump into this without knowing all the current changes in the Province of B.C. You need to find out who is working to protect your property rights. Stick around to the end for my assessment of who the winners are and who the losers are in this mess! (Part 1 or 2)

Part 1 of this video is at this link: https://randg.video/76p1
