Vancouver House Prices to Slip, but Not Plummet, Central 1 Credit Union Says
Fears of a Bubble Are Overblown, Price Decline Likely to Be Modest and Temporary
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/08/12 -- Fears that Vancouver house prices are set to drop dramatically are overstated, says a new forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.
Central 1, the financial facility and trade association for BC credit unions, expects provincial house sales to slow and prices to stabilize, declining this year before rising slightly in 2013 and 2014.
"Unless there is another recession with large scale job losses in the province, which we do not expect, house prices will temporarily decline by about 5 per cent," says Bryan Yu, economist with Central 1.
A tumble in Metro Vancouver sales this year will offset gains in other parts of the province, particularly in northern markets, pushing provincial resale transactions down to the lowest level since 2001.
Central 1 released two reports today, one focused on the Vancouver area and a broader look at the housing market across the province for 2012-14.
