The latest housing price survey conducted by Royal LePage has shown that demand is sharply outpacing the supply chain
During the last two years, the real estate segment has witnessed massive growth in North America. Several asset classes have grown exponentially during the course of the pandemic. In the last two years, people in the real estate segment had to tackle inflation, supply chain issues, pandemic, and rising interest rates. It has been a mammoth task for Canadians to get a break in the real estate field because of various challenges. This is, however, the reality due to less number of homes available and the newly created demands that are yet to come.
In British Columbia, the prices of houses went up by 25 percent in 2021, and this was the highest number according to CREA. The latest housing price survey conducted by Royal LePage has shown that demand is sharply outpacing the supply chain across real estate markets, and prices will continue to go up. As the housing price has continued to increase in Canada, the influx of cash in the economy has also grown because of improved short-term income and government credit support programs. In some cases, people have managed to save and reduce during the pandemic. In Canada alone, the real estate segment witnessed a massive increase of more than $600 billion.
