YTD Sold Fairfield -Rockland

Single Family Pending Fairfield and Rockland Real Estate Sales Total 18 with an average selling price of $ 853,278 with an average of 39 days on the market.

It would appear the Fairfield and Rockland BC Real Estate Condominium Sales Prices are down and the Days on the Market are up.

Currently there are 33 Single Family Fairfield and Rockland BC Real Estate Homes For Sale with an average asking price of $1,126,561 ranging in price from $ 487,000 for a home on Amphion St and up to $2,995,000 for a home on St. Charles Street.

I recently drove along the Dallas Rd Waterway then through Hollywood Crecent and took a Video of the Dallas Rd and Homes along Holloywood Crescent area to give you an idea of the Quaintness and Character of the Dallas road Waterfront where it is a popular walking Area from the Ogden Point Break Water to Clover Point Near Moss Street in Fairfield. Great Place for Family and Pets

History of Fairfield, Fairfield is a pleasant, residential community with a mix of low-rise apartments and single family homes on well-maintained, tree-lined streets. Fairfield is the southern-most neighbourhood in the city of Victoria, on southern Vancouver Island. It is Victoria's largest community by population and area, when considered together with the adjacent Gonzales neighbourhood.
