The old Real Estate proverb about Location, Location, Location continues to hold water and should be your Number One concern when purchasing Real Estate.  Here is not the place to debate where the overall Canadian market is going, but I will say Markets are Very Localized.  If you look at our Southern Neighbors as an example, you will see that even in the midst of a severe sub-prime/foreclosure meltdown, they still have some very strong localized real estate markets.  The Toronto Real Estate Board continues to advise that while year over year sales are slowing, prices are still rising; I should note 2007 volumes set record highs.  None the less, it is even more imperative in this situation to realize the importance of location.  Areas that possess unique features combined with proximity to transportation and major commercial centers will continue to realize price appreciation.  On the other hand, generic locations that have become over built will stagnate.
