immobilier toujours marché du travail à chaud au Canada
Vous cherchez du travail au Canada? L'immobilier est encore chaud — and offering beaucoup de possibilités d'emploi.
L' Ottawa Citizen a récemment indiqué que:
À l'échelle nationale, l'emploi dans l'immobilier est en hausse de 71,000 ou un énorme 35 pour cent dans le 12 mois d'Octobre 2008, which was the pre-recession peak for the Canadian job market.
How has the real estate job market fared in comparison to other employment sectors?
Pour l'ensemble de 2009, overall employment was down 1.4 per cent while employment in real estate, despite some year-end weakness, était encore en hausse de près 14 pour cent.
The article acknowledges that Ottawa has one of the most stable real estate markets in Canada, since the federal government is that city’s major employer.
“Cependant,” the story continues, “real estate markets across the country have survived the downturn relatively intact, and have either recovered to new highs or at least stabilized. And that’s reflected in the employment numbers in the hot sector.”
Here’s where you can read the full article: “Hot Jobs: Why real estate is opening most employment doors across Canada.”

Frankly, some 40% of house-price movements stem from global factors, such as interest rates and changes in stock market values. If real estate is now overpriced and a global correction takes place, Canada’s real estate, and the Canadian economy, would take a hit.
I think real estate is just a good type of business that’s why many businessman investing in this kind of business anywhere in the world.
Generally speaking, I would simply say that people will always need a place to live – surely there’s a greater and more complicated philosophy behind real estate market than that, I know – but nowadays most people work in the tertiary sector of the economy, and they also use many services, and as long as they’re buying houses, they’ll need someone help them with the process.
As for the current situation on the market, the crisis is slowly fading away, and as it looks like we’re definitely out of the worst, it is a good time for realtors – the prices are still low, interest rates as well, the Olympics here in Vancouver are drawing some attention too – and the opportunities won’t wait.
