The demographics are real! Very interesting report from Stats Can 2016 numbers on the composition of our population and the rates of increases in types of housing since the last census. As for its impact on the #Kamloops Real Estate market, there are a large number of multistory multifamily developments in the pipeline, particularly downtown and around TRU. Our climate is particularly welcoming for older bones..... Maybe we'll give Qualicum Beach a run for its money for % of retirees! http://www.cbc.ca//highlights-statscan-2016-census-1.40970
