It is, in my opinion "the pretend to the future path of housing". Meaning no one "Expert nor layman" knows the true depth of where the future may go in the present housing debacle in the U.S and no doubt the trickling effect to specific Canadian cities, in the near future. The only positive recourse that I feel should be noted in the Canadian market is that the best neighbourhoods in the best parts of the country will continue to maintain their values if only because the "Money Boomers" are and will continue to purchase their main residences and investment properties / cottages simply because they have the resources / money to do so regardless of what is happening out in the "other real world". Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, (as typical working class Canadians), there is an enormous amount of capital available to the Boomer generation and they must place their money somewhere, does the equity markets have any sense of stability???!!! So the bottom line is, the money markets will always flow to the stable side of investments which appears to be the safest of all, quality property in the areas of best interest according to the wealthiest populist. Hoping this is good food for thought and subsequently may your home / residence continue to support your future gains that will be required to keep you ahead of the game!!!
