Victoria receives sole perfect score in CMHC real-estate assessment
MIKE KOZAKOWSKI, CITIFIED.CA

Victoria has achieved the only perfect score in a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) assessment of 15 Canadian real-estate markets.

The assessed period covers August through October and describes Victoria's housing supply and demand ratio as evenly balanced with no concerns regarding upwards price pressures or overbuilding. 

Vancouver and Edmonton both shared second place with the sole concern (albeit mild) over the two month period relating to home prices not fully supported by "fundamental drivers such as income, mortgage rates and population."
