"After sitting on the sidelines for much of 2012, home buyers were out in force during the summer months," said Cameron Muir, BCREA Chief Economist. "Fear of a housing market hard landing has given way to a sense of urgency to lock-in a mortgage at a low interest rate." While higher mortgage interest rates are on the horizon, BCREA forecasts the five-year posted mortgage rate to be 50 basis points higher a year from now. The impact on consumer demand is expected to be largely offset by stronger economic conditions and the associated employment growth.
