Canada Has Been Setting Real Estate Records: Should You Invest North of the Border?

If you think real estate in the U.S. is hot, you should see Canada. In fact, according to the latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), last month was the biggest October on national record. Here's how Shaun Cathcart, senior economist at CREA, summed it up: "As we've moved through the last few months of headline-grabbing data, we've seen sales activity for the year-to-date not just catch up with last year -- which was surprising enough -- but at this point, activity in 2020 has a real shot at setting an annual record."
