Housing prices in B.C. should rise modestly this year after stronger gains in 2014, according to a new forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.
The association of B.C. credit unions predicts a 2.5 per cent increase in resale home prices in 2015 and similar increas-
es of between two and three per cent out as far as 2018.
Bryan Yu, senior economist with Cen-tral 1, sees continued strength in urban real estate markets.
“I think sky-high prices in Greater Van-couver have more room to grow with little risk of a signifi cant downturn,” Yu said.
One trend he expects to continue is the divergence in price growth between detached houses and multi-family units.
“While condo markets have been soft, with median home values flat since 2010, detached values have surged,” Yu said.
“Single-family housing is increasingly a luxury good detached from income drivers.”
His report predicts home prices in Metro Vancouver will continue to be underpinned by the scarcity of develop-able land, the growing population and international demand.
It says the collapse in the price of oil will be generally positive for real estate markets, because it leaves more discre-tionary money in consumers’ pockets.
But crude’s plunge is painful for Alber-tans and will restrain their demand for
B.C. recreational property in the Interior and Vancouver Island.
The lower Canadian dollar, however, has made real estate here more afford-able relative to the rising prices of U.S. homes, the report notes.
Central 1 expects no increase in inter-est rates until early 2016 but expects five-year rates will average 6.5 per cent in 2018.
“Record-low mortgage rates will not last indefinitely, but will remain low enough to underpin housing market demand this year and next.”

Th e latest plunge in the loonie is making cross-border shopping and travel to the U.S. even more expensive.
Th e Canadian dollar dove from more than 83 cents U.S. to a low of 80.7 in trading Wednesday after a surprise decision by the Bank of Canada to cut interest rates by 0.25 per cent in a bid to bolster the economy against the eff ects of falling oil prices.
“It’s going to kill a lot of cross-border shopping, which is exactly what Canadian retailers want,” said SFU business professor Lindsay Meredith, noting the loonie is down nearly 20 per cent fromclose to par two years ago.
“Th is is about votes and the next election,” Meredith said.
But he predicted B.C. will also gain because it will help the forest industry sell more lumber to the U.S.
“Th e losers are Canadian consumers. To the ex-tent we buy imported products we get hammered more.”
Fruit and vegetables from California will go up in price due to the currency wing, he predicted, despite lower transportation costs.

“While condo markets have been soft, with median home values flat since 2010, detached values have surged,” Yu said.
“Single-family housing is increasingly a luxury good detached from income drivers.”
His report predicts home prices in Metro Vancouver will continue to be underpinned by the scarcity of develop-able land, the growing population and international demand.
It says the collapse in the price of oil will be generally positive for real estate markets, because it leaves more discre-tionary money in consumers’ pockets.
But crude’s plunge is painful for Alber-tans and will restrain their demand for
B.C. recreational property in the Interior and Vancouver Island.
The lower Canadian dollar, however, has made real estate here more afford-able relative to the rising prices of U.S. homes, the report notes.
Central 1 expects no increase in inter-est rates until early 2016 but expects five-year rates will average 6.5 per cent in 2018.
“Record-low mortgage rates will not last indefinitely, but will remain low enough to underpin housing market demand this year and next.”
