You have an interesting point rrskylar, but i'd have to respectfully disagree.
Housing prices rose in Manitoba because housing prices all over the country are rising, albeit at a much faster rate.
Housing in this province is and always has been ridiculously undervalued. Up until 5 or 6 years ago one could still purchase a two storey executive home in Linden Woods for under $180,000 or a cute little starter home in Transcona for $80,000.
For $80,000 today you can't even live on Burrows. That said, we owe the spike in our housing prices to the crazy pace set by our western cousins not the NDP.
