Just my observations, as it's the direction the university is growing. And, I can add a bit of market condition observations: My 5 bedroom home, was listed for 24 hours. It had 7 showings, then ended up in a multi-bidder situation. I signed with a person who offered 3% over my original ask. They couldn't get financing, I relisted with a higher ask, only to get taken out AT my (newly raised) ask after another 24 hours on the market. Offer was soley pending financing, and conditions get waived Wednesday. Market is on fire, with really low supply, I wish I would have listed higher in the first place.

If you have any comparisons of other US / Canadian cities it would be great to see them! I'm especially curious about Florida because prices there get so much coverage up here.

I am member of <a href="http://westtorontorealtor.com" rel="nofollow">West Toronto realtor</a> and people keep me asking "when the crisis is coming?" Of course, world is globalised and everybody is scared, what will be the next step of US economy, BUT it doesn't work like domino! I think Canadian market is doing fine and there's no need for panic.
