BC\u2019s home owners, on average, have the highest average net worth throughout Canada at more than $1.1 million, but they are also the ones who bear the greatest interest costs brought about by rate growth.<\/p>\n

This, in a report released by Environics Analytics last week. The study noted that BC households each forked out an extra $1,152 in interest payments last year, fully twice the Canadian average.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe overarching story this year is that Canadians have never been richer but, at the same time, they\u2019ve never felt poorer,\u201d Environics Analytics senior vice-president of research and development Peter Miron told CBC News.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal estate\u2019s way up, liquid assets are up decently, their pensions are up, everything on their balance sheet looks great but, all of a sudden, when you look at these rising interest rates, that’s going to start pinching their cash flow and is going to leave them with less money left over at the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

These developments also accompanied an 8.5% growth in BC\u2019s average household debt in 2017, more than double the national average of 4.5%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effect of the interest rate increases in 2017 works out to be an extra mortgage payment per household no matter where they live. It just happens that in Vancouver, households are already carrying much more significant levels of mortgages,\u201d Miron stated.<\/p>\n

On a national scale, net worth grew by 8.5% last year, up to an average nearly $808,000. However, Miron said that much of the increase was sealed into assets like real estate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, national average household debt rose by 4.5% while the average interest-expense-to-income ratio shot up to 6.4%, marking the first increase in a decade.<\/p>\n
