Exceptional: there is a good term to describe the activity observed on the residential real estate market in recent years. After posting strong growth and reaching a peak, the housing market is now giving way to some moderation. How can the slowdown in activity in the Québec area be expected to go? Will it be similar to those in other areas across the province? This conference will provide you with an understanding of the issues related to the contraction phase of the real estate cycle and give you a few ideas to help you decide where to go from here.

On the agenda:

Taking the turn . . . the provincial outlook
Kevin J. Hughes
As every driver knows, taking a turn is always a decisive moment when increased attention must be combined with a careful look ahead. In addition to taking stock of the major economic and demographic factors that will affect the housing markets in Quebec, Kevin Hughes will address several issues of interest (including debt) at a time when these markets are turning around. Mr. Hughes will end his presentation with a review of the different regional markets across the province and elsewhere in Canada.

Québec City market slowing down, but at what pace?
Jean-François Dion and Marie-Élaine Denis
Since the real estate cycle reached its peak, activity has started to slow down in the Québec area. Will this slowdown be homogeneous and affect all housing market segments? What will be the extent of this decrease in activity? What impacts will it have for the various players on the market? To find out exactly what is happening on the market and get our forecasts for 2007, don’t miss this presentation!

Renovation, a prosperous market
Kim-Anh Lam
Should we ignore a $10 billion market, the most prosperous segment of the residential market in Quebec? It is time to paint a picture of the renovation market to discover the business opportunities that it holds. We will reveal the outlook and the financial aspects of this market, with special emphasis on the Québec metropolitan area.
