down 32% in January compared to the same
month in 1995. According to the Housing
Price Indes, the price ofa benchmark cop
cal: detached home in West Vancouver was
Sa14.890.

“January sales are tvpieaiiy slow.” said
board president Gienn “Pemes. “fb think the
ceonoentic news out of Asia. and the lag in
cconomic growth and employment oppornt
nity in BC is aticering the pubdic’s contidence
inthe Market. However, with mortgage rites
being the lewest in 8G) vears. lower prices
have improved attordability and) pur more
homes within the reach of more buvers.”

“Sales an the $P20,000 to S350.000
range continued to dominate the marker in
January” adds Tomes.
