Insight
Into The Canadian Resort Real Estate Purchaser
Interest in purchasing
recreational real estate continues to increase
across Canada, with numerous golf, ski and general
leisure-focused projects appearing in almost
every province. But just who’s buying these
properties? What amenities are being sought?
And what’s the preferred ownership structure?
Harris Decima Research, experts
at integrating consulting, public-opinion research,
public affairs and communications has produced a unique
study of recreational real estate purchase behaviour
among Canadians.
This in-depth analysis was drawn
from the findings of 1,000 surveys completed by a broad
cross section of Canadian consumers. The presentation
will include exclusive insight into existing ownership
patterns, brand and product awareness, current and planned
purchase behavior and key buyer accelerators and inhibitors.
This high impact presentation will conclude with sound
recommendations of relevance to the developer and investor
community.
All registered delegates will receive
a copy of an Executive Summary Report based on the findings
of this study.
Due to the OCT 14th election call,
our Keynote Speaker, Allan Gregg, will not be in
attendance at the Conference. On behalf of Allan Gregg,
Big Picture Conferences apologizes for this change of
schedule. The Canadian study [data collected in September
2008, based on 1004 respondents] of Recreational Real
Estate Purchasing Behaviour will be presented by Lise
Dellazizzo (Senior VP @ Harris/Decima). For a sneak
peak at some of the survey results, please download

29 Media Release. |

Marrying
Real Estate And Resorts
As Canadian (and international) resort development becomes more
and more dependent on a real estate component, how does the resort
operating model change? Real estate sales fund a range of amenities
while resort residents provide the base to support a broader
range of amenities. Learn how the introduction of resort
real estate sales has changed the development and operating profile
of Canadian resort development and operations. |
