With 2012 in full swing and January all but passed us by, the time is now to look at what we can expect to see in the different regions across the country. As sophisticated investors know, there is NO Canadian real estate market – markets are specific to region and specific to neighbourhoods within a certain region.
The focus (as it always is) is going to be on the economic fundamentals that are driving the various markets, and which key influencers and drivers are going to come into play as a result. Condos, job creation, ship building contracts – these are all going to be hot topics in the months to come.
I decided to sit down and give you the straight goods on what is coming for 2012, and no better way to do that than in the flesh. Albeit a brief synopsis of my research, the video below will be a starting point for your investigations for the entire year and beyond.
Remember: it's not necessarily what you are going to buy – it's where and whether or not it is producing positive cash flow. So grab a pen and paper, take a few notes (or keep them mentally) and press play. Your real estate investment business will be better for it.
Here's to 2012 being your best year yet!
Cheers,
Don
