I suppose it is also important to take out the Toronto and Vancouver markets as they are voluminous enough to skew data.

@Peanut, you had a very good point about the rule of 72.
Real estate is local, some real estate doubles in 3 years. Other real estate go down, there is no general rule and no gains are guaranteed. Its silly to apply these theories to real estate that is actually in play.
