He pointed to interest rates which have fallen to their lowest in years, a large selection of homes and recently introduced federal tax credits for home renovation and a change in the amount of RRSP savings that can be applied to a first-home purchase — now $25,000 up from $20,000.

成交量荡40%,只能说明买卖双方都不愿意入市.如果价钱荡40%的话,老末保证成交量会几倍增长.
