Last October was the beginning of some tough times for most canadians, as well as most other parts of the world. This has been the first recession of the new millenium. Although most of the nation’s housing market was strongly affected by the recession, here in the nations capital, things remained fairly stable. Luckily for us prices didn’t see a huge decline and now that signs of the improving economy are in our sights, the market is heating up quite a bit.
We have low interest rates, the lowest they have been in years in fact. The government has decided to freeze the prime rate at 2.25% until the second quarter of 2010(June). This is great news if you were deciding to make a purchase in the next year.
The time to buy is now, while the rates are still at an all time low, and before the housing prices begin to rise again.
