In 2007, retailers sold an estimated $412.2 billion worth of goods and services, up 5.8% over 2006. Sales by home furnishings stores led the way, rising 12.2% to $6 billion in 2007 (1.5% of total retail sales in Canada), while sales by home electronics and appliance stores rose 10.5% to $12.3 billion — both strong indications of a robust housing market. |
