In a year, Canadian prices dropped an average of 18.5% or something. In Toronto, it's more like 5%, which is big for a city like Toronto.
I'm banking on this. I'm a renter who is looking to become an owner. We're looking at condos and are expecting to find a deal, even in the neighbourhood we're currently living in, which is one of the nicer (somewhat) affordable ones.
I think a number of factors are driving prices down, but I don't know much about these things to even speculate. I just want to take advantage of it.
