What if Canada Became out 51st State

[Chris Seveney]

Yes this is a pipe dream, but had me thinking about real estate of course:

If Canada ever did become part of the United States, what would happen?

Would we see increased cross-border transactions and a surge in property investment opportunities?

Would real estate prices in certain regions rise rapidly due to demand from both local and international buyers? 

Tax structures and mortgage regulations might also shift as canada mortgages are very different.

What do you think would happen?
