| 2011-05-04 13:44:00 |
Buying a house in Toronto is something I haven't cared to learn about until now.

| 2010-09-15 04:26:00 |
The price of a new home in Canada edged down in July for the first time in more than a year and fewer were built in August, evidence that a real estate slowdown seen this summer in the resale market is beginning to bleed into the new home sector.Statistics Canada reported that its new housing price index fell for the first time in 13 months, declining 0.1 per cent in July from its level in June. That reversed what was seen between May and June, when new house prices rose 0.1 per cent.Reinforcing that trend, the annualized rate of housing starts dropped three per cent in August compared to July, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., to 183,300 from 188,900. Both single and multiple-dwelling starts dropped during the month.
