Forbes недавно попал в The Cheapest Canadian Cities To Buy A House, и победитель?

It’s certainly not Ванкувер, which posted the largest price increase of Canada’s major markets in the first quarter of 2010.

And it’s not Toronto either, хотя a sharp increase in the number of homes for sale this spring is opening up more options for potential buyers.

Нет, the Number 1 cheapest city in Canada to buy a home isn’t actually a city at all — it’s the entire province of New Brunswick.

The Forbes статья воспевала Нью-Брансуик, отметив,:

Low housing prices combined with a higher-than-average income level make Moncton, Санкт-. John and Fredericton great options for buyers looking for a deal. Согласно канадскому ассоциации недвижимости (CREA), the average housing price in St. Джон и Frederiction составляет около $169,000, with the provincial average hovering around $155,000.

Here’s the Forbes list of Canada’s cheapest cities for homebuyers:

1. Нигде в Нью-Брансуик
2. Сидней и Кейп-Бретон County, Новая Шотландия
3. Windsor, Онтарио
4. Gatineau, Квебек (just across the river from the nation’s capital, Оттава)
5. Шарлоттаун, Остров Принца Эдуарда
6. Regina, Саскачеван

But the good news for homebuyers across Canada, according to the Канадской ипотечной и жилищной корпорации, is that the housing market will move towards “balanced conditions” over the next two years as sales slow down slightly and inventory levels increase.

The CMHC is forecasting that the average home sale price across Canada is expected to stabilize through the end of 2010 and then rise modestly in 2011.
