Canadian Inflation (Jan) - February 17, 2021

Canadian inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 1.0% in January year-over-year. The increase was largely due to higher gasoline prices (6.1%). Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose by 1.3%, which is up from 1.0% in December. Prices rose in seven of eight components year-over-year in January. Growth in the Bank of Canada's three measures of trend inflation inched up slightly, averaging 1.5%. 

Regionally, the CPI was positive in eight provinces, led by Newfoundland and Labrador (1.5%). In BC, CPI rose by 1.1% in January year-over-year, up from December's increase of 0.8%. Strong price growth continued for health and personal care and shelter. Home furnishings also pulled

Canadian Housing Starts (Jan) - February 16, 2021

Canadian housing starts increased by 23% m/m to 282,428 units in January at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), following a 12% decrease in the previous month. Housing starts increased in 6 of 10 provinces with the strongest gains in Quebec and Ontario. January's strong performance increased the six-month moving average to a historic high of 244,963 units SAAR.  

In BC, housing starts decreased by 17% m/m to 35,931 units SAAR in January, following a 12% decrease in the previous month. Building activity was down by 28% for multi-unit starts, while single-detached starts were up by 38% in January. Compared to the same time last year, housing starts were up by 24% in BC.

Record low inventory coupled with persistent demand continued on into the new year. The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board area, in the first month of 2021, had 286 single family homes sold, up 66% from the same month last year. Condo sales also increased year over year as many buyers were pushed into this segment (up 46%). In a slight respite from the flurry of activity though, sales were actually down 5% and 26% respectively, compared to December 2020 board-wide.

Very likely, the slight decrease in sales from December to January is actually a product of the dwindling inventory. The end of January saw 420 active single family homes available on the market (compared to 421 at the end of December) and 212 condos (down 9% from December). January is

A Record-Setting Start to 2021

Vancouver, BC – February 11, 2021. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 7,169 residential unit sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in January 2021, an increase of 63.3 per cent over January 2020 and over a thousand sales higher than the previous record for the month of January. The average MLS® residential price in BC was $845,169, a 16.1 per cent increase from $728,269 recorded in January 2020. Total sales dollar volume was $6.1 billion, an 89.6 per cent increase from last year.

“It was once again a record-setting month for the provincial housing market,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “While sales were strong across all regions of

The Victoria Real Estate market continued strong out the gate in 2021. Selling 57.2% more units than the same month the previous year, January 2021 came in at a total of 646 sales. Our team had our busiest January on record selling 2.3% of all properties sold in VREB or 1 in every 43 sold in Janaury! The most significant bump in year over year sales was in the condo segment which was up 83.1% with 216 sales compared to January last year. There was a higher volume of single family homes sales with 297 units changing hands, but only 48.5% more than Jan 2020. Of course the sales data here does not necessarily reflect the current demand. It is likely that there simply wasn’t enough single family listings on the market to keep up with the demand in that
