According to the Market Watch, the situation in Toronto is calm. There has been significant sales drop of 12%, compared to the year 2007, but sales were still 10% up the 2006 numbers. Price level has grown 1% and average number of days on market is around 30.

Our subprime mortgage level is much lower and the interest rate has been slightly calmer during last 7 years, compared to FED rates.
