Canadian Real Estate Market, Better Than the Rest


As a Brantford/Brant County Real Estate Agent it always makes me feel good when I see that the Canadian market is doing well. Although in the first quarter of 2012 the Canadian real estate market has dropped 2%, it has been shown that even with the drop, the Canadian market is generally stronger than the rest of the developed world. It is reported that the market will turn around with a 3.1% increase this quarter. 

With other countries around the world reporting bad news, and dips in the real estate market, it is a surprise that Canada is doing so well. While there are some areas in Canada where the market is cooling off due to stricter mortgage and insurance rules, it is not dipping, but rather staying steady.  Reports are saying that over the next 3 years Canada will see a 15% increase in the real estate market, however this increase will be gradual and difficult to map immediately.  The Brantford/Brant County Real Estate markets are profiting from this increase throughout the area. 

Throughout the developed countries of the world, based on reports there are only two that are doing better than Canada. France was up by .3% and Switzerland was the only country that did not fall short this past quarter.  

The average home price has also risen by .9%. One contribution to the steady growth is from the low interest rates that some economists think may lead to the market being overvalued, but others say will help the growth of the market and will keep it up for the next couple years.

Recently the federal Finance Ministry Jim Flaherty made a statement saying that the moderate borrowing could lead to household debt, which will be their biggest fight in the upcoming quarters. A fight they are willing to battle against, hopefully keeping the Brantford/Brant County Real Estate market on a steady incline.

It is great for me to hear as a Brantford/Brant County Real Estate Agent that the market will continue to rise. If there are any questions or are interested in buying Brantford/Brant County Real Estate feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
