Gloomy economic outlook, elevated mortgages drag down 2023 B.C. housing market: BCREA

Association chief economist Brendon Ogmundson blames expected sluggish sales this year on a slowing economy and ongoing, elevated mortgage rates.

But he is looking forward to 2024 when the association says a healthier economy, lower mortgage rates and"record high" immigration should fuel home sales again. The forecast predicts residential sales in B-C will skid 7.1 per cent this year before surging nearly 24 per cent in 2024. It says even though home listings remain scant, prices have fallen because of what the association calls the"abrupt shift" in market conditions, and it says rates should stay"relatively flat" for most of this year.
