READ BETWEEN THE LINES:
the ‘priced-out-of-his-last-chance-waterfront-house’ boomer, who turns preacher of Convenient-Lie.
why the hassle to travel to Winnipeg, when South Okanagan’s performance was 36%.
rich immigrants translated in to a 40% increase of low-income households on social assistance.

“The silver lining behind the latest home-price data is that they signal the market is making what most economists see as a necessary adjustment, dragging home prices back into closer alignment with Americans’ ability to pay. The market is working its way “back to reality,” says David Seiders, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders.”
I like this story as well“I don’t think we’ve hit the bottom yet,” Lehman Brothers economist Michelle Meyer said. “The housing shock is only about halfway over and housing prices will continue to fall well into 2009.” Ms Meyer said that spelt bad news for the US economy.”
Not that any of this means anything for Vancouver.
We have the Olympics, shortage of land (we ran out of land before Expo86, and before the hand over of Hong Kong)
And the sub prime is a non issue because all of our mortgages are 25year fixed rate.
And we don’t have any no-doc mortgages, and we also don’t have inflated for the purpose of qualifying for a mortgage paycheque stubs.

He has a second article which sheds light on that, as it ends with “Jim Yih is a financial adviser and his website can be found at: http://www.retirehappy.ca“.
At the top of both it says “Jim Yih, For CanWest News Service”. Is it really news, or is it a marketing piece disguised as news? And what the heck are the editors doing about it?

A newspapers editor posted in her blog data of BC landed immigrants from the 1990s todate, which showed a steady increase. In between she would rant over the incompetency of CIC in processing applications, called Harper’s Government a liar, and hyped up Greater Vancouver’s ever rising RE prices. On a pre-scheduled trip, she accepted a free seat upgrade on her flight to HK on condition she wrote favorably on a business venture; others who had not pre-arranged the trip were given free air-tickets plus accommodation by the sponsors.
Think twice before you throw good pennies for embellished news.
