Total number of homes sold in Nanaimo for the month of August 2010 numbered 92 which is a 39% decrease when compared with the 150 units sold in August 2009.

“Rising interest rates and a projected slowdown in job growth mean that the Canadian housing market is expected to continue to cool,” said Georges Pahud, CREA’s President. “This is overlooked in recent commentary that suggests further changes to mortgage regulations may be needed. A further tightening of regulations could negatively impact Canada’s softening housing market and consumer confidence.”
“High sales activity late last year and earlier this year borrowed from sales this summer and will continue do so over the coming months,” said Gregory Klump, CREA’s Chief Economist. “This makes the return to more normal levels of sales activity look like a steep downward trend.”
“The hangover from accelerated home purchases is likely to persist over the rest of the year. Although economic and job growth are expected to be tepid, they will continue to support housing markets,” he added.
