The downward trend is expected to reverse next year, with an expected increase of 1.2% in 2019, to 34,000 unit sales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across British Columbia as a whole, the BCREA expects prices to drop 8.6% this year, to 94,855 units, with a further 0.9% drop to 94,025 units in 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the forecast, although the province has seen strong economic performance over the past year, other factors will come into play, keeping sales low.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLow unemployment and tepid labour force growth is expected to slow economic expansion over the next two years,\u201d it said in the forecast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHousing headwinds of tighter mortgage qualification rules, a rising interest rate environment, an already elevated price level and BC government policy efforts to tamp down demand will also contribute to slower consumer demand through 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prices are still expected to increase across both Greater Vancouver and BC, however. This year, the BCREA forecasts the average price listed on the Multiple Listing Service for all Greater Vancouver homes to be $1,090,000 \u2013 up 5.7% compared with $1,031,546 in 2017. A further 3.7% increase is expected in 2019, with prices expected to reach $1,130,000. The average price across BC is expected to reach $752,079 in 2018 \u2013 an increase of 6% compared with $709,579 in 2017.
