CREB® delivers a market forecast twice annually—once at the beginning of the year (typically the second week in January) and again around the mid-point (July/August).
The forecast report provides a comprehensive look at key economic indicators that influence housing within CREB®’s region boundaries, from energy prices to employment and population trends, to name a few. It also examines each market sector, explores housing by property type and clarifies how supply and demand is functioning at the district level.
