GMREB Video: Condo Sales Increases in January 2010
Last month, just as the month before that, there was another record breaking sales for the condo market. The new video of the GMREB explains the numbers as well as the so called “Real Estate Bubble” that people are talking about.
Michel Beauséjour, the CEO of the GMREB, clarifies the rumors about another real estate bubble by defining what the bubble means.
” (A bubble) Is supported by massive especulation in the market, which means that people are just buying houses or condominiums to resell it very quickly after and make money. We have no evidence that this is happening in the market right now. ”
“The condominium market is supported by first time buyer.”
Based on a survey in 2010, 43% of those first time buyers are renters
