Canada's Real Estate Market has rebounded and is prime for investors as well as first time home buyers. In the past, investors had never really even considered the Canadian Real Estate Market as a viable investment tool because the demand for it was not very high. The last 10 years however, has changed the entire landscape and perception of this emerging market. Even in these bad economic times, where real estate has taken such a beating, the Canadian real estate market has been the first to rebound. Sure, it saw its share of downturns and devaluation, but that did not last long. As a matter of fact, that was the catalyst that started its recovery and placed it on the radars of investors and lenders alike. Today the average mortgage in Canada is estimated at around $400,000 Canadian Dollars and is rising steadily. Both economist and consumers alike, feel the market has bottomed out and are confident that the current market values of Canadian real estate is at their lowest. This has turned the Canadian Real Estate Market into a buyer's market but with reasonable pricing structures.

In 2008, Canadian real estate sales dropped 17 percent. This figure is obviously not good at all, but look at the data for April 2009. It shows the largest month to month growth in sales activity within the past five years with nearly 35,000 properties sold, that is an 11.2 percent growth rate. All of these figures are indicating that the Canadian market has shown signs of rebounding. In layman's terms, it has bottomed out and will be on the rise in the months and years to come. The general consensus is that Canada's worse recession took place from December 2008 to January 2009. Due mainly to the fact that mortgage interest rates as well as prices were on the low end and potential home buyers have regained their confidence in the Canadian real estate market.
