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 $331, it means the real prices are dropping. I believe the same thing happens in Edmonton. 5 G5 C) f# Y' q& n * ^1 \8 w) R$ W( {http://www.bobtruman.com/7_Day_Stats/page_1770845.html" n. X2 D- V; y

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.
