From CREA:
Looking across the country, prices are down from peak levels by more
than they are nationally in many parts of Ontario and some parts of
B.C., and down by less elsewhere. While prices have softened to some
degree almost everywhere, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, and St. John’s
stand out as markets where home prices are barely off their peaks at
all.
An interesting development in recent months has been an
increasing number of East Coast markets where prices appear to have
bottomed out on a month-to-month basis and are now trending back up.
