The average price of a home in B.C. was up 18 per cent in February compared to the same month last year, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association. The price surge was largely due to sales in Metro Vancouver, the BCREA said in a survey, with the average residential price climbing 19.4 per cent, compared to February 2010, to $791,000 from $663,000.
