That's a good thing though, it keeps housing affordable in Ottawa. How the hell is $1 million dollar home prices good for anyone??? I've never understood why the media treats slow-rising home prices as some sort of disaster. Falling is bad for existing owners, but stagnant/slowly rising home prices are best for all involved.
