Which is the preferable alternative for real estate investors? Canada vs USA.

Due to the commercial climate property prices have dropped with some alluring discounts available. Investors in real estate look forward to these times. To pick up the geese that will drop the golden eggs. How do Canada and the USA equate.

Real estate prices in the USA dropped much more than in Canada (where the prices have actually already made a comeback) and their mls listings are jam-packed with stock. As prices are lesser in the USA wouldn’t you think this was the better place to invest? Canada is still seen as the prime real estate investment preference by those whose job it is to watch it.

Global Property Guide authorities still warn of rushing into the US market and suggest Canada as a more feasible option. It is anticipated that the USA prices could still fall more. The perplexing tax system, low returns make the US a less than desirable option. Two out of five is the star rating of the USA property market according to the long term investment assessment chart.

The cities used for analyzing are: Canada = Toronoto, USA = New York. Canada has been been given 3 out of 5 stars. The better results are due to a less complicated tax system, better returns on investments, a better rental market and a more safe economy.

Transactions costs are less expensive making Canada an even more desirable investment chance. Model property (resale 0 000 condo in major city, cash paid) transaction costs (totalling registration costs, real estate agent charges, legal charges and sales and transfer taxes) count for 6.96% of the sale price in Canada, while it is 9.07% in the USA. The 2% division makes quite a variance for investors.

No matter which country you choose in the end, I wish you the best of luck with your investment.
