Canada's real estate market has cooled off in the second half of 2008. According to figures released by the Canadian Real Estate Board, sales of existing homes in October dropped by 14 per cent across the country from September. That's the largest monthly decline since June 1994.
CREA says a third of the drop is due to reduced activity in Canada's biggest market, Toronto — although sales were down the other four biggest markets (Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton).
The map below includes the latest real estate statistics from across the country, including home sales, average prices, apartment rents and vacancy rates.

The Canadian Real Estate Association expects prices to keep on going up in Manitoba through 2009. Prices rose 12.6 per cent in 2007 and another 12.7 per cent in 2008. In 2009, that's expected to slip to a 6 per cent price gain. However, the number of units sold should drop by 4.3 per cent in 2009.

加国房产销量10月跌幅26年最大
加拿大地产协会(CREA)周五的最新报告显示，10月加拿大全国现房月销售量较上月跌14%，达1994年以来最大降幅，同时也是2002年以来的最低水平。
据多伦多信息港报道，在全国25个主要市场，10月销售业绩比上月整体跌14%。各大型城市销售量下跌严重，比较突出的城市包括多伦多，蒙特利尔，温哥华，卡尔加里和埃德蒙顿；而造成月销售业绩下滑近1/3的原因则归结于多伦多房市的销量剧减。
与去年同期相比，房市均价也下跌10%，至281,133元，这也是1982年以来的均价最大跌幅。 |
