I read an encouraging article on Castanet yesterday about housing starts in Kelowna. CMHC expects housing construction to increase 30% in 2012 which is great news for the economy based on the employment and population growth.

The buyers have shifted from invement purchases to local families and seniors. BC is seeing growth through employment and demand for housing.
It looks like it will be a great weekend with lots of sunshine. Get out and enjoy all our fair city has to offer this weekend!
