Hot and Cold

In Canada and the United States, we are seeing a very negative trend in the market, and this is not set to improve until well into 2012. The reason these two countries must separately be addressed is due to a difference in declination rate. In fact, most people have been under the assumption as of late that the Canadian market is on a rise. Well, CTV News has shared that we are going to (most likely) see a market declination leading well into 2012. Granted, the situation in Canada is not near as severe as that of the US (we'll touch on that in a minute) but this is still quite impactful to hopeful sellers at this point.In the United States, by the end of 2011 (you might want to sit down for this), there is to be an expected loss of $700 billion in housing values. House prices and interest rates are dropping, literally making the lives of people attempting to sell their properties into living nightmare.
