Lucky that so many Canadians are buying Stateside to stabilize things to a certain degree. At 23% Canadians are the largest foreign buyers in the close to $80 Billion of foreign US RE sales per year.
When I was in PHx last time the cab driver told me Canadian's saved his house, and kept food n the table for his kids. He'll never forget that.

I think we stopped the housing crisis there long enough for it to start stabilizing or at least leveling. When I was there a month ago prices were actually on the rise in some areas for the first time in years.
