One of the reasons that our homes hold value so well here in Victoria are the great local jobs, particularly in high technology. In fact, high tech adds more to our economy than even our old standby - tourism!
To make things even better, Microsoft just announced that they are building a new game development studio in town that will create up to 60 more jobs.
If you ever question why our homes are so valuable, and why it is so important to be a home owner, reading about Microsoft's decision should help answer that question.
