The Goderich Signal-Star, 1986-09-03, Page 15GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1986 --PAGE 15 Residential house varices increase across Canada Almost all communities in Ontario have witnessed major increases in the price of residential resale housing in the past year. Virtually every centre covered in the most recent issue of the Royal LePage Survey of Canadian House Prices report higher prices, with Western Ontario communities showing some of the largest increases in resale values. "Moderate interest rates and strong employment have created a very active market for residential housing in Western Ontario," comments Bernie Vogt, Vice President and Divisional General Manager for Royal LePage in the area. "This demand is putting significant upward pressure on selling prices." Communities in Eastern and Northern Ontario are also experiencing strong markets, according to Elmar Moser, Vice President and Divisional General Manager for that area. Moser and Vogt made their comments with the release of the July issue of the Survey of Canadian House Prices. The quarterly, cross -Canada study tracks the estimated selling price of six categories of housing in over 170 communities from coast to coast. In many Western Ontario communities, including Cambridge, Windsor, Kit- chener/Waterloo, and Guelph, price in- creases in excess of 20 percent have been reported over the past year for most categories Of housing.
