Year to Date Real Estate Price Changes
 

Single Family Homes Top 50%   See all Markets

Here on the first Graph the Year to Date Price Changes for the Top 50% Single Family Housing Market comparing all cities in the Greater Vancouver areas is up an AVERAGE 

Now compare this to the Condo  Markets   (Lower 50%)  See all Markets

Yes the Lower 50% of the Condo Market some cities actually went Down on Average.

Do notice that only a few cities even beat our expected 2% Canada Consumer Annual Inflation Rate.

Are Condos a good investment?     When will they go up?

Low End Condos attract very little foreign investment. This Market is considered mostly a Job Driven Market!

The Condo market will recover and increase when Demand Increases  eg: when we have stronger employment with good paying jobs. More Tim Horton jobs will not create many more home buyers.

The Condo Market is so easy to Over Supply with the many new high rises currently being developed this year.  Single Family Lots ...in other words "DIRT" will continue to be the the one true investment that can rarely be over supplied.
