I have no opinion on this since I'm an utter failure at predicting the future.Just wondering what some of you out there are wondering in regards to our RE market.
Personally...I think at best we can hope for a plateau in valuations....but probably a 'correction' is in the future.
Gov't is in a rough spot...I think they want to raise rates a bit to slow the RE market (definitely don't want a crash like the states), but increasing rates will slow the economic recovery...
Opinions?...
However, having said that, I don't see anything reasonable in the Toronto RE market at the moment. So far my wife and I haven't found anything interesting.
We don't base decisions on our opinion of the future or other predictions. Actually we consider thinking about what may or may not happen to be a waste of time - time better spent looking for deals.
In general my wife and I look around to see if there is a deal in the asset class we're interested in. If there is a deal, we buy. If there is no deal, we just sit around and watch DVDs.
