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.

Montréal area: time for a new health check
David L’Heureux
The real estate frenzy in recent years is gradually giving way to some moderation. The Montréal housing market is effectively showing more and more signs of slowing down, but at what pace will the winds change? Find out exactly what is happening on the market and get our forecasts for 2007.

Key market niches: a detailed diagnosis
Paul Cardinal
With the Montréal real estate market showing signs of running out of steam, which market niches seem the best positioned and which appear to be the most vulnerable? Is there a real risk of having overbuilt in recent years? Our review will cover various market segments, including luxury condominiums, retirement housing and manor homes.

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 Montréal metropolitan area.
