What used to happen is they used to move away, but now they\u2019re staying, getting jobs or starting a start-up,\u201d says investor Matt Elkind. \u201cThere is great growth in the university, but there\u2019s also great growth in technology. They don\u2019t graduate and leave. They graduate and stay in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CREW hosted two polls; the first one asking readers which province offers the best investment opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exactly 50% of our readers agreed Ontario offers the best investment opportunities, followed by British Columbia (21%), Alberta (10%), Saskatchewan (7%), Quebec (6%), New Brunswick (3%), Nova Scotia (2%), and P.E.I (1%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second poll then asked readers which specific Ontario market provides the best opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A whopping 534 readers took part in that poll and 22% of those agreed Kitchener-Waterloo is the best place to invest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The GTA (16%) came in second, followed by Hamilton (15%), Barrie (10%), Durham Region (9%), York Region (7%), London (6%), Niagara (5%), Guelph (4%), Oakville (3%), and Kingston (3%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Such a spread suggests investors are bullish on a number of Ontario markets \u2013 meaning there are plenty of opportunities across the province and, indeed, across the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But for now, it\u2019s Kitchener-Waterloo that takes home top honours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOn capital appreciation, it\u2019s been in the neighbourhood of somewhere between 10% to 15% per year during the pre-construction phase,\u201d Elkind says. \u201cAn example of that is the Icon [development in Waterloo] \u2013 units sold originally for $200,000 and a little over two years later, they\u2019re at $235,000 with occupancy in September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/the-best-place-to-invest-according-to-our-readers-206259.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">The Best Place to Invest<\/a> by Justin da Rosa | Canadian Real Estate Wealth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every investor is interested in markets that give the most bang for their hard-earned buck, and our expert readers have honed in on that very spot.
