altors, said in a media release. “As a result of increased competition among buyers, prices, which have more or less tracked with inflation for decades, posted a double-digit gain in 2017.” The less volatile and
more comprehensive average price for all of 2017 was $184,658, rising 13.1 per cent from 2016. New listings numbered 44 units in December, down nearly 40 per cent from the same month in 2016. This was the low-
est level for the month in nearly three decades. There were just 198 active residential listings on the MLS system at the end of December. This was a record low for this time of year.
