Current sales went down but prices are still climbing.We recently invested in Victoria as it has the correct economic fundamentals in place (GDP, Unemployment rate, transportation and population growth)Banks in Canada have always been careful as far as lending (which has sheltered us from the 2008 real estate crash) and there’s no signs of seeing that change in the near future.
