Gino Romanese, vice presi-
dent and divisional general
manager, Royal LePage res-
idential real estate services,
British Columbia, com-
mented: ‘‘The prolonged
period of interest rate
Stability is expected to con-
tinue to prompt consumers
to enter the residential! hous-
ing market.”’

“Although the closing of
Expo 86 and lumber tariffs
imposed by the U.S. will
have some impact on the
local economy and _ residen-
tial real estate in 1987, the
forecast for residential real
estate next year indicates a
strong, healthy market,’’ he

Nationally, Canada is ex-
pected to experience an in-
crease of eight per cent in
housing sales by year end
1987. Overall selling prices
of homes across the country
