Hi,
My question is same as Geoff.

Well I think a leading factor is interest rates being so low. A secondary factor is that there may be a flight to safety in Canada going on, as people abandon investing in the stock market and move to what has been a very smart move in the past, to invest in their homes. (Not saying that buying any old piece of real estate at any price is smart, just that's what might be going on).
PS Trevor did you notice that Garth again mentioned the DOW dropping 200 points a week ago, but hasn't mentioned that it's regained all those losses since?

It does kinda seem odd for real estate to increase in a recession. Why is this so?

This must be the first one in history where you have a recession and increasing real estate prices. I guess Tulip Real Estate mania is in full effect.
