WINNIPEG – Royal LePage predicts the average price of a Winnipeg home will rise 1.3 per cent to $277,000 in 2015 – but the average price of a condominium dropped in the second quarter.
The 1.3 per cent price increase is well below the national average increase of 6.1 per cent to $432,960, a forecast driven by close to 10 per cent increases in Toronto and Vancouver.
