By then, however, Ferreira suggests the market will have recovered to shoulder the effects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a stretch to suggest that the market would be that depressed for that long,\u201d he tells Livabl. \u201cHaving said that, anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2018\/10\/spike-vancouver-condo-supply-coming-forecast.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forecast : A Spike in Vancouver Condo Supply is Coming<\/a> by Josh Sherman | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not a rosy scenario for Vancouver\u2019s condo market: developers shelving more projects as unit prices drop.
