Across Canada real estate sales are up 46% and we reached record levels in Canadian History.
On a World Level Canadian real estate prices see biggest jump.
Canadian real estate prices increased at the fastest rate of any G7 country in the second quarter. Canada saw real home prices launch at the fastest pace of any of the advanced economies. This comes despite a deterioration in the indicators traditionally attributed to price growth, such as employment and immigration. Canadian real home prices climbed 2.42% in Q2 2020, when compared to the previous quarter. France is a distant second, with prices rising 1.71% over the same period. Germany is the third fastest, at 1.14% in the quarter – less than half the increase in Canada. Pandemic stimulus helped drive our real estate prices higher. With almost no immigration, and soaring vacancy rates.

Happy end of October!
