Vancouver's crazy market shows signs of slowing down as some economists and real estate agents saying the peak has passed.
This would be great news to homebuyers who have struggled to win in multiple offers.

“I have seen a couple (homes) lately, though, that I thought would go into multiple offers, but didn’t,” he added.
