Real Estate in Victoria BC - Vancouver is in the news

Our good friend and exceptional REALTOR® Matt Collinge is at it again. He has posted the latest stats for the Vancouver Real Estate Market. Vancouver, being Victoria's bigger brother, is always a great indicator as to how healthy the Canadian West coast market is and will be.

So with out further delay here is what Matt has to say about his market.

Vancouver BC Real Estate: Housing Starts Up In January

Well its Friday and Fridays are for fun and Vancouver housing starts aren't very fun, but CMHC just released the January housing starts numbers so here we are. Housing starts must for fun for someone. The numbers are good with housing starts for last month in Vancouver keeping pace with January last year. Detached (CMHC calls them "single family homes", seems logical, if not necessary logical in Vancouver) home starts were down slightly, but this was nicely off-set by a slight increase in what CMHC calls multiple unit (condo and townhouse) starts.

There are some nice tables and graphs in the CMHC report but it is a secured pdf so I can't copy them into the post here, but I will attach it below and you can have a look.

My regular fun Friday post is coming up next. Be ready.....
