Beautiful British Columbia: A desirable housing market, tougher affordability.

The housing markets in BC haven't shifted significantly in the past few months, though in Q1 2024, sales are up about 8.0% year-over-year, and the average home price has increased about 5.0% since last year. Seller listings are growing, allowing for more balanced markets (or even pushing to a buyer's market in some areas). Many buyers are still in holding mode, waiting for interest rates to start easing around mid-year.

Housing starts are showing gains in certain areas, like Vancouver (surging by over 80%), though smaller centres, like Abbotsford, saw declines of about 30% (though still strong in the multi-family start category).

Higher mortgage rates combined with higher prices mean that many BC centres (especially Greater Vancouver) are more challenging for first-time home buyers. When interest rates start to decline, will home prices push up? Investors under pressure from higher mortgage payments may look to sell, and continued short-term rental and empty-home restrictions may lead to higher listings, opening up more homes as primary residences.
