CanadaGal Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 I will post my results in USD in the future. Out of curiosity I decided to select USD in Hotwires drop down menu and see that the prices of all properties are on par between Canada and the US right now. This can change at any time but for the sake of this posting, I want people to know that the rate of $100.52 was the same price in both USD & CAD. Another thing worth noting is that this property listing has been fluctuating in price from one day to the next.
