Feb 25 | CMHC 2010 Winnipeg Housing Outlook Conference

The Road to Recovery
After reaching their highs in 2007, housing starts and existing home sales in Manitoba have been on a downward trend. Will the province’s housing markets face a further downward adjustment in 2010, or will it represent the beginning of an expansionary phase in home ownership and rental demand? When will the recovery gain momentum? Are we in for a period of flat growth, or another sharp upswing in sales, housing starts, home prices, and rents? Join us on February 25th and you will leave confident about making informed and sound decisions to plan your business’ future.
