Hello…this is Bo Kauffmann of Remax in Winnipeg, with your real estate news for… Monday, April 17th, 2023…
Today is National Crawfish Day and Bat appreciation day (the mammal, not the stick)
Just a few weeks ago, we were wondering if cheap credit and government-led relief measures would stop Canada's real estate market from going down.
According to figures from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) that came out this morning, the benchmark home price went up a lot in March.
Canadian Real Estate Prices Jump $12k Last month.
In March, the average home went up 1.7%, or $12,300, to $727,700.
It comes after a 1.0% rise (+$7,100) in February and is the second increase in a month since the correction started.
Even though two months doesn't seem like much, it's enough to change the direction of the annual trend.
In March, home prices dropped by 15.5%, or $133,300 as compared to last year.
The 12-month drop is the biggest fall in CREA's benchmark's history.
Since the standard only goes back to 2005, it's hard to say how this compares to the correction in the 1990s.
At the same time, this might be the fastest rate of turnaround.
Prices of properties don't move in a straight line, so it's too early to tell what will happen.

Here in Winnipeg, we should also focus on one figure that I just mentioned: The benchmark home in Canada sits at 727K???
Not around Winnipeg, where you can get a really nice, detached bungalow for about half that amount. In fact, I just listed a nice 1300 ft bungalow on an acre property just south of Ile des Chenes for $350K.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
