Don't know how they can reach the figure.
Oil is going down and don't know when it will come back up again. For these years (2005 -2007), Canada economy will go down with the oil price. House price will not as good as before. According to some reports, Toronto detached house price already breaks the one million dollar mark. It may continue to go up but the rate will certainly slow down a lot.
The value of Canada dollar also goes down with the oil price. You may think right now Canada dollar is cheap and buy a house. What happens if it continue to go down and get cheaper?
If you buy a house for investment purpose, you need to hope the house price will go up not only to cover the expenses but also the value of Canada dollar.
I think U.S. is a better place for house investment. Economy is getting better and the U.S. dollar is strong. There is also more space for U.S. house price to go up as the house price already depressed for few years.
