Avoid FOMO and Prep for BC’s Rising Markets

According to RBC economics, “the coming months could see prices accelerating further with some of the stronger increases taking place in smaller markets”. This has led to a vast number of buyers going full force in resales fueled by low interest rates, changing housing needs, high household savings, and perhaps nervousness about the increasing prices in the hot market. BC’s home resales have already increased in February rising more than 50% year over year in the majority of the markets. And with the demand surpassing the number of homes on sale this summer, bidding wars are likely to remain in the short term.

The climb throughout the pandemic partnered with the current mortgage rates in BC has even motivated “outside” buyers to start paying attention to smaller markets. Many downtown office employees have begun to venture farther out from the city in search of a more affordable home. And the overall search within the smaller markets have led to a huge rush! Many home buyers seem to have developed a fear of missing out (FOMO) on smaller markets’ affordability, potentially causing an even sooner push towards higher prices and an urgency to buy now.
