House prices still rose across Canada, but at a measured
pace, and the number
of homes available for
sale rose to the more comfortable levels indicative
of a
healthy, balanced market,» says Phil Soper, president and chief executive, Royal LePage Real Estate Services.
«While the carryover
of November's delayed transactions into December contributed greatly to the sharp increase, the overall
pace taken together indicates
sales these last two months maintained the
healthy level
of activity seen in most
of 2015,» he said.
