Event Description:
Today and Tomorrow in The Fraser Valley - Market Hot Stove
The center of gravity in the overall market continues to shift east with growth in the suburban and Fraser Valley markets demonstrating resilience and must watch status. The past decade in these market areas has seen astounding growth and shifts, and the further projected growth occurs against and/or alongside the inflation dilemma, rising interest rates, affordability/attainability issues and evolving politics. Together, private and public residential opinion leaders will reflect on the gains of the dynamic regions and share both a near term and long term outlook.
