However, this is the lowest volume in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">New condominium sales in the Vancouver market are anticipated to see a modest dip in 2019 due to consumers reacting to higher borrowing costs, and developers reacting to escalating construction costs in the face of lower revenue opportunities. But the report notes that sales volumes in 2019 are still anticipated to be at or close to the market\u2019s 10-year sales average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across Canada, new home markets have encountered increased government regulations, higher interest rates, and new taxes and increased development charges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even higher new condominium sale drops of 48% and 49% were recorded in Edmonton and the Greater Toronto Area, respectively, last year. But sales were strong in Hamilton, Montreal, and the Kitchener-Waterloo area, with growth rates of 19%, 31%, and 69%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/metro-vancouver-condo-market-report-2018-2019\">New Condo Sales in Metro Vancouver Dropped 19% in 2018<\/a> by Kenneth Chan | Daily Hive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another report provides another indicator of the Metro Vancouver housing market\u2019s downward trajectory.
