Rose @ 2:31 am:
The Scarsdale real estate marketing is actually doing quite well. A recent report which was released last week detailed how the real estate market decreased nationally. However, the opposite was true for Scarsdale, and sales here increased tremendously, including the average sales price. I would love to help anyone who is looking to buy, rent or sell in these areas. I can also provide more details on the current market trends as well.

From NY Times – September 11, 2003
The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.
Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.
The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios.
The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt — is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.
”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ‘‘The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”
Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.
”I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said.
The thousands of mortgage defaults and foreclosures in the "subprime" housing market (i.e., mortgage holders with poor credit ratings) is the direct result of thirty years of government policy that has forced banks to make bad loans to un-creditworthy borrowers. The policy in question is the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which compels banks to make loans to low-income borrowers and in what the supporters of the Act call "communities of color" that they might not otherwise make based on purely economic criteria.
The original lobbyists for the CRA were the hardcore leftists who supported the Carter administration and were often rewarded for their support with government grants and programs like the CRA that they benefited from. These included various "neighborhood organizations," as they like to call themselves, such as "ACORN" (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). These organizations claim that over $1 trillion in CRA loans have been made, although no one seems to know the magnitude with much certainty. A U.S. Senate Banking Committee staffer told me about ten years ago that at least $100 billion in such loans had been made in the first twenty years of the Act.

No, it will not continue to climb at the same rate, certainly not in all areas. It has started to slow down a bit in terms of sales, but we are still having multiple offers on well priced properties in good areas. Canada is not immune to America's troubles but it didn't get into the same sub prime zero down and ballooning payment mortgages. CMHC can be very fussy.
I think it is a mistake to focus too much on the value of your house. If you're planning to live there for a while does it really matter what it's worth if you're not selling? Don't buy a house expecting to make some sort of profit in a year. Don't buy one expecting to borrow against it to pay credit card bills. Buy one you expect to be comfortable in for at least 5-7 years and that you can afford the payments on (and as you point out – taxes). Don't stretch yourself to the maximum, interest rates are very low now but they likely won't stay there.
Good luck
