Sakto President Sean Murray: CMHC Report Gives Ottawa Housing Market a Positive Forecast

OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 31, 2015 /CNW/ -- According to a new report released by housing authority, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Ottawa's housing market faces a low risk of market correction. The low risk is indicative of both strong growth in house prices in recent years and modest increases in personal disposable income.

Ottawa-based Sakto Corporation President Sean Murray issued the following statement regarding the report:

"This is very positive news for the Preston Street area where Sakto Corporation is headquartered. There are hundreds of condominiums near completion or under construction, including Claridge's 47-storey Icon tower at Carling and Preston Streets," stated Sakto Corporation President Sean Murray.

"Several other projects have been approved for construction, including a three-tower development at the former Dow Honda site that will boast a 55- and 45-storey tower," Murray continued.
