Not long ago the city of Brampton had no constraints on the development of condos and houses within the city limits.  This has consequently lead to an overloaded infrastructure, overextended schools and local municipalities that are struggling to keep up with the demand.  City officials now have a cap on housing and condo development and there is some ease.  Despite the masses and the lack of sufficient public transit, Brampton is still a highly sought after condo market due to its affordability compared to its neighbouring cities like Mississauga.

 The critics have been going on and on about the topic for months, even years.  How long can Canada’s real estate market continue to escalate?  This past month, it celebrates its tenth anniversary, that is the best records in a decade of continual growth.  Historically home buyers have never had it so good for so long.  According to research, the average price of a home in Toronto in 2007 was roughly $211,000.  Now in 2008, the average consumer can expect to pay on average $376 000 within the city of Toronto.
