Canada’s national housing agency is continuing its grim forecasts for how hard the COVID-19 pandemic will hit home sales, prices and construction, including sharp drops for B.C.

CMHC offers dire predictions for house-price drops in B.C. Back to video
Last week, CMHC CEO Evan Siddall told a parliamentary committee that Canadian house prices could drop by as much as a 18 per cent.
He also said that 20 per cent of mortgage holders who are deferring payments could be in arrears at the end of September, when the COVID-19 deferral period finishes, if the economy doesn’t improve.
He said Vancouver could be one of the hardest-hit places, along with Toronto and Alberta.
On Wednesday, the CMHC said home prices in B.C. could drop by 10 to 19 per cent from pre-pandemic levels, slightly exceeding its forecast range for home prices across Canada of nine to 18 per cent.
