MLS® ReciprocityNew Builds on Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island is experiencing significant new construction activity, driven by population growth, provincial housing legislation, and strong demand across all price segments. Langford, Colwood, and Sooke in the West Shore have become the epicentre of new development in Greater Victoria, with thousands of new homes ranging from condos to single-family houses. Nanaimo, Courtenay, and Campbell River are also seeing substantial new development. New construction offers modern building standards including BC Energy Step Code compliance, contemporary floor plans, and the peace of mind of a 2-5-10 home warranty backed by BC Housing.
Benefits of Buying New
New construction homes on Vancouver Island come with the provincial 2-5-10 New Home Warranty, which covers materials and labour for 2 years, building envelope for 5 years, and structural defects for 10 years. Modern homes are built to current BC Building Code standards, which include improved energy efficiency, seismic resistance, and accessibility features. Many new developments include electric vehicle charging infrastructure, high-efficiency heat pumps, and triple-pane windows. Buyers of new homes may also benefit from the BC New Housing GST Rebate for homes under $450,000.
Where New Homes Are Being Built
The West Shore communities of Langford, Colwood, and Sooke account for a significant share of Greater Victoria's new housing supply, with developments ranging from master-planned communities to infill projects. Royal Bay in Colwood and the Westhills community in Langford are examples of large-scale new developments. South Nanaimo and north Nanaimo are seeing rapid condo and townhome construction. The Comox Valley is growing with new family-oriented subdivisions. We track new construction listings across the Island and can connect you with developments before they reach the general market.
Buying Presale vs New Build: What Vancouver Island Buyers Should Know
Presale homes are purchased before construction completes — buyers sign a contract and pay deposits (typically 10–20% over several stages), then wait for the completed home. This approach can offer savings and the ability to customize finishes, but carries risks including construction delays, changes to the building program, and completion risk if the developer faces financing issues. New builds that are already complete or near-completion eliminate that uncertainty. All new construction in BC is covered by the provincial 2-5-10 New Home Warranty. New homes over $350,000 are subject to GST, though the BC New Housing Rebate may reduce this cost for primary residences. Understanding these distinctions before committing is essential.
Bill 44 & SSMUH: Impact on New Housing Supply
Provincial housing legislation — including Bill 44 (Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing) and the Transit-Oriented Areas Act — is reshaping the new construction landscape across Vancouver Island. Bill 44 allows up to four or six units on residential lots without rezoning, enabling a new wave of infill townhomes, garden suites, and small-lot housing across Greater Victoria and Nanaimo. This legislation is increasing the diversity of new construction options available to buyers at a range of price points. The IslandSold team tracks how these policy changes affect new construction supply across the Island and can help you find the right new home in the right location.
