Yeah Victoria has a pretty moderate climate all year, centering around the 10-15 C mark if you are near the water, plus or minus 5 C if you are further inland. That said there are still periods of freezing and periods of 20C+.

Realtor.ca is where you'll find canadian RE listings.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
I ran into this video. Anyone knows where it is? (The tags mention victoria & tofino.) That swell looks so nice!

That is a pretty neat video. That was all shot at the Cook st location, if you live in Fairfield area that is on your door step. Today was 30+ knots but averages more like 20ish most windy days. Kus is actually the windsurfer in the video and I'm in there too. No gloves on but it's colder then in looks. I hope that guy makes more videos.

flashtestdummy.com has the pix
Randy took some great ones too that day I think.
That video rocked, he and the cam guys are very talented. Haven't seen him out since :cry:
Today the swell off the point was very cool after initial crap chop, loving :D and paying for it too :x not as windy 4.7 but much sunnier and warm, looking for a flush just to cool off 8)

Today was probably the best cook street day I've had, solid enough 4.7 for 2-3 hours, and near 20C temps inland, so the breeze was actually warm.

I laughed pretty hard at that one :D !
It's cool how if you look at google maps and photos, you can see many kite surfers riding Cook St.
