Description

We’re Andrew Plank and Jane Johnston, two Victoria-based realtors from different brokerages, and Jen Lowe, a mortgage broker with over a decade of experience. 

Each week we unpack what’s really going on in our local market - from pricing and inventory to interest rates, lending updates, and buyer and seller strategies. We explain the trends, answer the questions people are actually asking, and share what we’re seeing on the ground so you can feel more confident making real estate decisions in Victoria, BC.

Expect market updates, financing insights, neighbourhood context, and thoughtful conversations that are equal parts informative and down to earth.

Listen full episodes and subscribe to new shows every week. If you’re planning a move, looking to buy, sell, or simply exploring your mortgage options, we’re here to help.
