If you’re looking to buy a home in Canada, it’s understandable if you’re a bit jittery about the housing market.

カナダでは住宅価格が大幅に上昇している 昨年から 2000, particularly in the largest cities: バンクーバー, トロント, モントリオール, オタワ, カルガリー, とエドモントン.

But are prices going to continue to rise? 横ばい状態になる? または立ち下がり? And is Canada at risk for a housing market crash, similar to the nosedive in the U.S. 不動産市場?

Canadian analysts are generally bullish on the housing market, but here are two different views of the current Canadian real estate market situation:

Canada’s Housing Bubble:起こるのを待って事故, a report from the ポリシー選択肢のためのカナダのセンター, それは主張する Canada may be at risk for a significant downturn in the housing market. 米と同じくらい悪い. クラッシュ? そうでないかもしれない, but prices in Canada’s major cities could still fall.

ザ C.D. ハウ研究所 takes the opposite point of view in their report, Low Risk of US-Style Housing Bust in Canada. Their analysis suggests that the factors leading up to the U.S. housing market bust are not present in Canada, so the market should remain more stable.
