The equity market witnessed one of the biggest crashes after the COVID-19 pandemic struck Canada for the first time last year. With coronavirus cases rising again, long-term investors are likely to play cautiously and choose stocks wisely as uncertainty looms over the market.

The real estate sector in Canada skyrocketed in the past few months and garnered calls from experts for cooling down measures. Last week, the Canada Mortgage & Housing Corp. (CMHC) said that the activity in the residential real estate market will climb down to moderate from the 'unsustainable levels'. However, sales will remain at a higher pace and prices. 

In this article, we a value real estate stock that has posted strong first-quarter fiscal 2021 earnings and also pays dividend to its shareholders.

Colliers International Group Inc's (TSX:CIGI)
