“The market remains generally stable, albeit with annual unit sales expected to be down about 3% this year,” explained Cameron Muir, Chief Economist with the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). “A modest increase in home sales is expected next year. However, consumer demand will nevertheless remain relatively muted as bumpy economic growth limits overall sales volume.”
