For all the “for sale” signs

you might see on the

streets, the housingmar-

ket is still not at its healthiest

— experts at Scotiabank are

predicting an average fall of

10% in housing values over

the next two to three years —

even though Canada has fared

better than many other mar-

kets, particularly south of the

border.But it’s not all gloom and

doom, and this is the right

time to do some research and

find what options you might

have to move or invest in a

new property.In some circles, confidence

in real estate is still fairly high.

According to a recent PWC

Emerging Trends report, just

two per cent of respondents

to their real estate 2012 survey

thought the prospects for prof-

itability were “poor” or “mod-

estly poor.”The remaining 98% said

“fair” or better, with 47% sid-

ing with “good.”We all know the western

provinces and Newfoundland

are flourishing with growing

energy fields, boosting earn-

ings for employees in those

sectors and providing more

choice in the real estate world.

Resource development is hav-

ing and will continue to influ-

ence the property market cre-

ating a fair bit of competition.

As you could perhaps pre-

dict, Toronto. Vancouverand

Calgary remain the top three

centres for booming property

values and opportunities. But

smaller cities such as Ottawa,

Halifax and Winnipeg also

have their strengths — and

generally are not hit as hard as

the bigger centres when hous-

ing values start to fall.

Even the economically slow-

est markets are still ranked as

“fair” prospects for all types

of property investment. PWC

recommended in their assess-

ment that Montreal,

for example, was over-

whelmingly amarket to

“hold” on to property

you’ve got, whereas

almost everywhere else,

it’s a buyer’s world.The

market might be cool-

ing slightly, but it isn’t

anywhere near an ice

age.So who are these

buyers?I have people from

all backgrounds and

income levels who

come to me looking

to buy or sell their homes,

each with their own story and

investment goals. The point

is, anyone can own prop-

erty. According to a Scotia-

Bank housing report, almost

two-thirds of Canadians own

property with another seven

per cent owning a second lei-

sure property. While this can

add fuel to the fire of increas-

ing costs — pricing out some

younger would-be owners

— it is still a sign of enduring

confidence in owning residen-

tial spaces.Could you be a buyer? Ask

yourself some basic ques-

tions:1. Do I need to move or

want tomove?Whether you’re

amilitary family with a chang-

ing deployment, or students

heading cross country to uni-

versity, or a retired couple

needing to be closer to family,

there are myriad reasons for a

potential move.

2. Timing. When does

this move need to hap-

pen? Or, if you’re invest-

ing, when do you want

to find a good deal?

There may be personal

or employment factors

that affect your decision.

Know that when you’re

ready to make the leap,

you need to jump with

both feet.3. What is the market like?

Each town and city is differ-

ent, as are the communities

within them. Youmay need or

want something local, but that

may not be the best invest-

ment. Having a knowledgea-

ble real estate agent can help

show you the options.

One of the Canadian inter-

viewees of the PWC report

told them: “It’s hard to blow

it here.” Canadians playedthe

property mar-

ket safer while

other countries

hadwild and dangerousmort-

gages and trends. That’s left

us in a good position for solid

investments to hold on to,

and potential options for the

future.If you think you can’t buy

property, for whatever reason,

think again. There are good

opportunities out there,and

ones to suit almost any buyer.

Somewhere, there’s a “for sale”

sign with your name on it.
