The average house price in Calagary has gone up by $10,000 since June 1, 2007. But the average price per square foot has changed from $333 to $331, it means the real prices are dropping. I believe the same thing happens in Edmonton. / W( e l2 J K @" p1 B) ?2 q3 i" l; Z" h4 f9 Y1 [* R' l http://www.bobtruman.com/7_Day_Stats/page_1770845.html% ^" A( g+ W! O- D; E- m

The average figure doesn't tell you the whole picture of the market. Do your own research to determine the market is going up or down.
