TORONTO – Chi ha la casa in vendita da mesi e non è ancora riuscito a venderla può, probabilmente, tirare un sospiro di sollievo: il mercato si sta riprendendo, perché i recenti tagli dei tassi di interesse hanno reso più accessibili e sostenibili i mutui e quindi coimprare un’abitazione non è più impossibile (per le persone con uno stipendio normale e senza “tesori” in banca) come invece lo era fino a qualche mese fa…
