Resale Housing Market to Stabilize by 2012

Fewer uyers and more listings will result in a more balanced resale housing market in Ontario over the next year, according to the 3rd quarter Housing Market Outlook by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
... the demand for new and existing homes in the province is expected to drop slightly for the remainder of this year before stabilizing into 2012. Although lower demand by first-time buyers and higher mortgage carrying costs are expected to dampen housing activity, higher employment and income levels are projected to offset those factores and provide support for housing into 2012.
