Blog post 2: How do housing prices affect the economy?

For this inquiry question I will be able to find the answer through these three pieces of information. The first piece of information is the trend of housing prices over a period of time in Canada. The second piece of information is the change in the economy after a change in the price of a house. The third and final piece of information is what causes house prices to rise and how changes in the economy affect the price. The information can help answer my question by providing information that I need to answer the question and list how the changes in housing prices and the change in the economy correlate.

Below are 5 sources that I can use to help me find the information I need. The first site is Wikipedia, although some people think that Wikipedia might have false information it provides detailed information and even if the information is false I an cross reference with other websites. The second source I will use for my research is Brittanica. Brittanica is an online encyclopedia fact checked by experts with highly detailed information that I can trust. The third source where I will be getting my information is statistic Canada as it is the national statistical office which provides statistics regarding Canada. The fourth source in which I will get my information from is economics observatory, this website was founded by an economist and aims to provide information on economics which will provide useful information to help answer my question. The fifth and final source that I will use to help answer my question is economics help, this website has information on general economics including information on the trend of housing prices.
