Real Estate Is Still On The Climb

An industry expert from CIBC has predicted that there will be no housing collapse in Canada. In fact, the prediction is that housing values will increase by double in the next 20 years.

The impending decline and fall of the Canadian residential real estate market -- as fearlessly forecast by the Baby Boom watchers -- can be summed up in four simple words: "Much ado about nothing."

This wasn't Shakespeare talking, but CIBC World Markets economist Benjamin Tal.
