The unexpected and unprecedented changes that occurred globally in the wake of the covid-19 outbreak derailed an economic expansion that was into its tenth year here in Canada. While virtually all economic, demographic, and housing market measures swiftly and significantly diverged from trend beginning in March, prompt fiscal and monetary responses combined with a slow-but-steady re-opening plan for the economy worked to rehabilitate the labour market. Here in Metro Vancouver, the housing market has shown considerable resilience and is likely to remain active for the foreseeable future due to low-interest rates and a recovering economy.   Twice a year, rennie intelligence produces the rennie landscape, that tracks a variety of demographic and economic indicators that directly and indirectly influence our housing market here in Metro Vancouver. Our goal is to provide our community with a basis for evaluating the trajectory of the factors that collectively define the context for the real estate market.Our rennie intelligence team comprises our in-house demographer, senior economist, and market analysts.

purchasing power to the people
After accounting for inflation, wages are once again on the rise, having lost ground for the better part of the past 2 years. Average weekly earnings are a useful, though imperfect, measure of how wages change over time. All measures of wages can be a tricky thing, as they depend on the earnings of those who are working at a given time. So as employment and unemployment change, that can impact average earnings even if an individual's wages remain unchanged.
