text: Yeah those stats are a  bit weird.  BC Assessment authority is busy mailing out notices that show sf detached increasing 30-50% all through metro Vancouver, and yet this is now winnowed down to an average 1.8% gain  from December 2015 - December 2016?  That's a whole lot of properties that must have dropped in value to wipe out the gains shown by BC Assessment from July last year.
  
  It would be nice to get more accurate and meaningful statistics.
