Can housing keep going up at this rate forever?

Since single family houses in Langley went up in value by more than $300,000 in the last year, according to BC Assessment, that seems unlikely.

But is it going to continue? Are the prices driven by fundamentals like a strong local economy and immigration, or is this a bubble, driven by speculation and FOMO?

What do you think?
