-- モントリオール銀行（BMO）は、カナダの中古住宅市場に関する「包括的な」データが発表されたと指摘した。 BMOは、カナダ不動産協会（CREA）が木曜日に発表したデータに基づき、3月の住宅販売件数は季節調整済みで前月比ほぼ横ばい、前年同月比では2.3%減にとどまったと報告した。 BMOはまた、基準価格が前年同月比4.7%下落しており、「勢いが変わる兆候はほとんど見られない」と指摘した。 BMOは、地域によって大きなばらつきが見られるとみており、ブリティッシュコロンビア州とオンタリオ州の大部分が事実上の住宅不況に陥っている一方で、プレーリー地域、ケベック州、大西洋岸諸州の市場は堅調を維持しているとしている。
