Comment

Jeff Martin 

I’m not sure I agree with the prognostication about the Regina market in the following article. We still have a lot of inventory. Weekly sales are continually shy of the new inventory volume. In the new market there appear to be a number of dashed dreams and unoccupied new construction units on the wider market. All of this leads me to think we are more likely to see a flattening of the curve. I expect very little increase if any

Housing prices will fall about 5 per cent across Canada by the end of 2009 as a slumping economy takes a bite out of consumer confidence, says the ReMax realtor company. House prices in Regina are expected to rise nine per cent next year, while cities such as Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary, Sudbury and Halifax are predicted to see prices remain flat next year.  Read the article
