How the Trade War Affects BC Real Estate
Recent warnings from Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem highlight potential challenges:
- Higher Costs for Buyers & Builders – Tariffs on building materials could increase home construction costs.
- Mortgage Rate Uncertainty – Inflation concerns may limit future interest rate cuts.
- Shifting Investment Trends – Investors may look for stability outside major urban centers.
- Increased Demand for Rural Living – Affordability and self-sufficiency are becoming top priorities for homebuyers.
Why Creston Stands Out
Unlike expensive urban markets, Creston offers homebuyers and investors a rare combination of affordability, quality of life, and self-sufficient living opportunities. With food prices expected to rise due to supply chain disruptions, having land to grow your own food isn’t just a bonus—it’s a financial advantage.
🏡 Affordable Housing – The cost of homes in Creston is significantly lower than in cities like Vancouver, Kelowna, and Toronto. Check out this housing cost comparison:
🌱 Fertile Land for Self-Sufficiency – Creston’s rich soil and mild climate make it ideal for growing your own food, from fruits and vegetables to nuts and grapes.

💡 Lower Cost of Living – Creston offers reduced living expenses, and an overall more budget-friendly lifestyle compared to major cities.
🚗 Escape the Rat Race Without Sacrificing Convenience – While Creston feels like a peaceful retreat, it’s still well-connected with essential amenities, a regional airport, and access to larger centers when needed. Located on the Canada USA Border for streamlined international trade.
