Year 2007 was very successful for Canadian real estate market - the numbers are clear. Sales activity climbed over 520 000 units, up 7.6 percent from 2006 levels (the largest growth since 2002) and transactions via the MLS systems have reached more than 500,000 units sold. The average real estate sale price was up by 14.1% to $317,825 in December 2007 when compared to December 2006 (again the largest growth in recent years).
2008 has opened many questions. First the popping of the US real estate market bubble makes the casual investor wonder if such a mortgage and price collapse could repeat itself in Canada. World oil and food price problems continue to make many people believe that world recession is knocking at the back door.
Is there any reason for concern in the Canadian real estate market? Let's review the overall economic situation in more depth.
For those wanting a steady return on their money, real estate in Toronto can be a sure bet. When the baby boomers started madly buying houses in the 1980s, suddenly real estate seemed like the path to instant wealth. The real Canadian estate market fluctuates constantly. There have been times when house prices have gone down. However if you look at the overall price of homes in your area over the last 10 years, in most cases, (depending on your region) prices have risen.

Waterfront Condos: Where History Meets Style
Toronto Waterfront
One glance at Toronto's Waterfront will tell even the most traveled visitor here is a place that's special. A larger plane flies silently in its vapour trail toward Toronto's International Airport and a smaller Cessna buzzes toward the scenic Island Airport. The Waterfront looks like a green belt speckled with rubies of industry and it offers everything from fine dining at top notch establishments like The Mizzen to sushi and even a Shopsy's for those heading to the baseball game at the nearby Roger's Center. When you leave Union Station for the short walk that passes right under the bustle of the Gardner Expressway, you might think you need a passport because you've traveled to another city in another time.
Toronto's Waterfront is sleek and modern-every year the locale hosts an International Jazz Festival-so one no one could be blamed for thinking as a part of the modern young city of Toronto that it wouldn't have a past, but it does. There's a feeling here that the past and the future are at peace.
