"MLS® home sales edged up 3 per cent in September compared to August on a seasonally adjusted basis, said Cameron Muir, BCREA Chief Economist. “Housing demand last month was bolstered by persistent low mortgage interest rates and a surge in employment."

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume increased 17.5 per cent to $34.8 billion, compared to the same period last year. Residential unit sales increased 3.2 per cent to 61,127 units, while the average MLS residential price rose 13.9 per cent to $569,922 over the same period.
