## City market context

From the Victoria market article, 11 October 2026:

September 2026 sales in Victoria fell sharply year-over-year while active listings rose. This divergence signals growing buyer choice and potential price pressure ahead. Victoria's September 2026 sales decline and rising inventory indicate a shift toward buyer leverage, despite stable Q2 prices.
