Is the Canadian Real Estate Still Going Strong

The Canadian Real Estate Market is Not Dead!


Why Property Investment Even Today is Your Best Option.

With the collapse of many markets, there has been a lot of misinformation regarding real estate investment. Unlike what people believe, even today real estate gets you among the highest return on your investment as it is based on leverage and just requires increasing its value in small amounts to capitulate a higher profit as compared to other investments including stocks. Canada, as one of the leaders in economic recovery globally, is in a unique place to provide sale land at low cost as it enjoys good economic recovery. Other than that the huge rural area here offers a chance to invest in open land. The land is vacant property and generally without any construction.

There are a number of advantages of buying vacant land including the decision to construct a home or a commercial building where you don’t have to spend cash on repairing the existing building, constructing when you are ready, potential tax breaks and lower upfront cost. Sometimes you can even get the land rezoned to better the ROI. Mentioned here are examples showcasing how these advantages work for you.

     When you construct a customized structure, it allows you to include features you wish without any restriction of design and layout. You can also select the building contractor which finally determines the structural reliability of the building for future.

     It can be costly to repair an existing structure especially if there are hidden damages. You may have to replace old gadgets, remodel and replace items such as foundation or roof. They are all possible when you purchase a pre-owned house.

     You have the freedom to construct when you are positioned better financially to make all you want. On the other hand you acquire the property with no cost on upkeep of the existing structure.

     The mortgage and down payment is more affordable as open land is cheaper. It is more reasonable to make a 20 percent down payment for a piece of land costing $50,000 as compared to the same percentage on a property worth $200,000. In case you need to pay half of the cost of the property up front, even then it will be less than the amount of 20 percent for a $200,000 building.

     Tax breaks don’t apply to all who buy vacant land, but in case there are business expenses connected to even a portion of the property you can withhold them.


Making an investment in real estate is one of the best decisions and being able to understand the elements is a reliable way to success. You may be looking for residential or commercial property; there are plenty of acreages for sale all over Canada. You will find one that suits your requirements as a property owner as well as an investor.
