Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is predicting home prices and sales will fall from last year's levels by December.
But the federal housing agency says the declines won't blunt much of the market's heat.
Chief economist Bob Duggan says home ownership will be less affordable in the near-term because of higher mortgage rates and high price levels.
He also expects rental affordability will likely decline as well.
“Three violent attacks happened in close proximity to each other within a short time-frame,” says Constable Tania Visintin. “At this time, investigators are trying to determine if any of the assaults are related.”
In June of 2022, a victim of identity fraud contacted Port Moody Police after discovering a credit card was opened in their name and a $5000 purchase had been made on said credit card. The investigator was able to trace the fraudulent transaction and identify suspect. This lead the investigation to multiple properties in Surrey including a secure storage facility.
The Greater Vancouver Zoo says in a statement the discovery of the one-year-old female canine known as Tempest puts an end to a three-day search and rescue operation.
On Thursday in the early morning hours of 3am, three suspects entered the Coop Gas Bar located 34900 block of Lougheed Hwy. The suspects used two chop saws to cut open the ATM and steal and undisclosed amount of cash.
No one was injured as a result of this shooting, but police are looking for more witnesses and, in particular, anyone who might have dashcam or surveillance video of any vehicles or people in the area at the time.
Mounties believe that it was a targeted shooting. A dark coloured pickup truck was observed fleeing the scene and investigators have located an abandoned vehicle suspected of being involved in the incident in Surrey.
