It's time to buy Montreal real estate
With the failing US financial markets and the global economic slowdown, it's surprising that the Montreal real estate market held out for that long.
Low and behold, this talk of global recession has started to affect the mind set of real estate buyers in Montreal. Although the latest report from the Montreal Real Estate Board showed an increase in selling price, it also showed a worrying trend: an increase in homes on the market and a decrease in demand.
This is not great news for sellers, but it's a breath of fresh air for buyers. The Montreal real estate market is starting to soften up and many micro-markets have already become buyers markets.
This window of opportunity may not stay open for long as the economy is bound to bounce back soon (we all hope). That will mean that home prices will resume their upward climb.
If purchasing a home in the next 6 months is in your cards, then consider yourself lucky that you will have more chances of getting a good deal and that your interest rate will be very low.
