Home sales forecast boosted Home sales The Canadian Real Estate Association says the national average price for homes sold in August was $398,618, up 5.3 per cent from a year earlier. OTTAWA — The Canadian Real Estate Association raised its home sales forecast Monday on the back of stronger than expected sales in recent months following a slow start to the year. The association said sales through its Multiple Listing Service are now expected to total 475,000 homes for 2014, up from a June prediction of 463,400. The new forecast would mean sales would be up 3.8 per cent compared with 2013 and 2.5 per cent higher than the previous forecast. Regionally, the association said the five provinces from Ontario and the West will show gains while the five eastern provinces will show declines. The association said the frigid winter delayed the start to the 2014 spring home buying season and helped boost sales in May and June. "Although this boost was and still is expected to be transitory, sales have yet to show signs of cooling as activity strengthened slightly further over the summer," the association said in its updated forecast. http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4862027-home-sales-forecast-boosted/ Whelp. maxidious fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Sep 16, 2014 |

Baronjutter posted:Friend who's moving to Edmonton for is buying a house ASAP because renting there for even a month or two first would be a month or two of throwing away your money and not building your own equity. He'll be there for 3 years. Hooray military! (this is the same guy who lost about 60k selling his previous military condo, even after the military paid all his soft costs). It's a shame military employees are forbidding from ever renting, which is good because imagine if people who had to move around every few years rented instead of kept buying and selling houses over and over? That just wouldn't work out! Sorry I don't understand this, why are military employees not allowed to rent? edit: nevermind! maxidious fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Dec 20, 2014 |

PT6A posted:Prescriptions will probably be done in person for some time yet, but I think Canada's just behind the curve when it comes to grocery delivery. Not true, most insurance carriers are now pushing for home delivery services for maintenance prescription medication. The only problem is someone has to be at home to receive the delivery.

Guest2553 posted:Gonna rebalance the hell away from the 25% Canadian equities I currently hold in my TFSA (it fell from 30% given how much everything else appreciated lol). Aiming for 15% and bumping US/int'l to 30% each so I can still have 25% bonds. Investing in the Canadian economy is a huge mistake atm no matter how crazy CI sounds most of the time. The economy just isn't diversified enough.

I've always kind of assumed when things go real bad they will just bail everyone out by making mortgage interest tax deductible.
