• BC Comment” The number of transactions involving foreign buyers plunged, from 2,034 deals in the seven-week period before the tax, to 60 in the four weeks starting Aug. 2. "My hope is that many of those units that would have sold to foreign buyers, will now be sold to British Columbians," said Clark. According to the data, in the seven weeks before the tax was introduced (June 10 to Aug. 1) the total value of all residential sales involving foreign nationals was $2.3 billion — an average of $329 million per week. ”http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/foreign-buyers-tax-data-1.3772158

The tougher mortgage rules were announced as part of a wider series of "preventative measures" aimed at “ensuring the long-term stability of the market” and reducing risk, according to Morneau. ” - Source - http://www.rew.ca/news/feds-strict-new-mortgage-rules-target-first-time-buyers-and-millennials-1.2357010
