mississauga: Are we moving to a Balanced Market in 2010?
- 06/02/10 12:59 PM
Canada’s housing market is expected to cool this year and next, but isn’t at risk of falling victim to a U.S.-style foreclosure crisis anytime soon; Canada will continue to do well in comparison to our neighbours to the south.
