Sorry stagnate, Maybe you’re not so young after all. Just a lonely old man.

stagnate wrote “look for opportunities in the weakness, a shrewd investor can make money in any market. don’t let past mistakes hinder your future. use cogent thought and don’t be an assclown. ha ha.”
You must be very young and accordingly arrogant. You assume that the goal of everyone in the friggin’ world is to make money. It’s not. Money can’t buy you the most important things in the world; it only allows you to rent them.
They say “money can’t buy you love” but you know you can rent it. So I guess you’re a renter with regard to love; watch out for diseases, some of those girls are dangerous.
Stagnate, you’re a friggin’ renter! Oh that’s too funny! All the money in the world and he’s got no-one to love; he’s a renter!

Keep dreaming stagnate, the worm has turned and if you haven’t sold out already you’re obviously too late like your buddy SATV. You Realtards sure are entertaining though! I can hardly wait to read your sob stories in the local rags when you wail for a bailout:)

real interest rate spread at 1981 boom top=17%
real interest rate spread now=2%
rental vacancy rate at 1981 boom top=6%
rental vacancy rate now=2%
fellas, any significant correction in vancouver r.e. in the past has been fueled by an real interest rate spread significantly above historical norms. the credit crisis would have to take a huge turn for the worse to get the housing deflation you hope for. just hoping for something will not make it happen. look for opportunities in the weakness, a shrewd investor can make money in any market. don’t let past mistakes hinder your future. use cogent thought and don’t be an assclown. ha ha

Patrioz: Yes, something along your scenario is more likely to play out.
I didn’t want to confuse Rob, Sat Kingii, Newsflash, Aaron,
Realitycheck et al, with nominal vs, real, etc.
May 22nd, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I finally figured you out, Thumbs.
As far as you’re concerned as long as people keep buying in at ever increasing prices, everyone benefits. To you it makes sense to buy in right now because tomorrow and every day after for decades prices will go up.
If you can’t afford to buy in downtown buy out in the suburbs. If you can’t afford the size you want, just buy something smaller.
I’m right, aren’t I?
May 22nd, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Rob Chipman… I expect something from 20% – 40%.
I think he is off by a wide margin; the price drop will be much greater
I don’t expect to see much more than 40% nominal off the SFH benchmark, but it will take over a 50% real hit. Those are about the same parameters as the 80′s bust.
50%+ nominal off some condo developments, yes.

A,
We don’t have hurricanes here,We don’t have threat of terrorism here,And we have low interest rates also low mortgage rates,we have increased level of immigration and migration top on the above we not going to have enough housing stats after 2008 where do you see your negative equity dreams?
Stop complaining get set ready to get in!when?TODAY.

Thums:
“if market is due for crash or correction why don’t ROB CHIPMAN put his on properties on sale?
I would have to agree, on the surface, it seems a contradiction, but it isn’t all that unusual for him to contradict himself, and he definitely has some large gaps in knowledge, particularly around Macro Economic Theories.
(it’s actually funny when he pretends to understand monetary theory)
As well, some of his ideas around finance issues are somewhat bizarre, particularly his theory of how negative cash flow and negative equity is a good investment strategy.
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I don’t give a heck to Rob Chipman -if you guys got some references about RTRS from Crabman then you know the answer.tweenty percent correction is to tell the sellers to reduce their listing prices to make realtors job easy.
If seller got to lose $100k Realtor won’t even lose 1000 on his commission,The best lesson to learn- if market is due for crash or correction why don’t ROB CHIPMAN put his on properties on sale?
Market is catching the sales heat- anybody wanted to swim, just get in today than tomorrow.Do not entertain your self with just for lough,if you disrespect the statue of our economy,mortgage and lower interest rates they will tick opposite from your desire,So get in or good bye.

I think he is off by a wide margin; the price drop will be much greater, my reasons are solid, and that is why he is too chicken to publish my posts.
What do you say to that?

Oops, the above article does apply to Vancouver as shown in the RBC report the article is referring to.
For April, YOY sales down -5.0%, listings up 25.9%.

Actually Tony, you have to actually own property in order to rent it out.
He doesn’t know where he lives and claims to have signed a job offer over a long weekend.
What was the deadline of the job offer Rob A? since it came in after business hours on Friday and the middle of the night in Ontario? Presumably while you were snuggling with your “girlfriend”
Is Starbucks opening a new location in Barrie?
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:14 am
Because, as I said before I am moving out of province and I don’t want to rent out a property when I am on the other side of the country.
You’ve never heard of a property manager? You should look into it because when your place doesn’t sell you’ll need one.
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:09 am
“Then why are you selling your condo? If you believe prices will keep going up why sell?”
Because, as I said before I am moving out of province and I don’t want to rent out a property when I am on the other side of the country. Try to keep up
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:03 am
It’s so hot that even if you buy before you get priced out, you might end up getting priced out anyways!
Then why are you selling your condo? If you believe prices will keep going up why sell? Oh wait, I know, because you’re full of sh&t!

Rob A,
Well said on the otherside i have heard that Gerth Turner is in *the place to be*(Vancouver) to buy Pent House.
“what people do behind closed doors.?”
what do i have to do to pay the bills?
Write a book, name it “DOG EAT BEAR”even you can travel with in provinces and take a world tour all bears will pay for your expenses.
you will be famous without any correction or crash then buy a pent house because money you have earned is yours,you must spend it some where so what about buying some more real estate?Investment properties in the place to be?Also when your bag is full of money you must visit in Vancouver ah,ok,where is my location?countinue……….
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:10 am
Wow, these developer financial troubles are really piling up. They all seem to use the same excuse: escalating labor and material cost – did they not plan on those costs being variable?
Both labor and materials cost fluctuate, when there’s less construction happening the cost of both can go down.
Why does it seem to be so much more expensive to build in the lower mainland compared with the rest of Canada?
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:57 am
what a great way to squeeze a few more dollars.
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:48 am
These condos going into recievership is proof that the economy and relestate market in Vancouver is red hot and there are no signs it is slowing down!

Hey trolls, what do you think about the biggest RE pumper being a renter?
what people do behind closed doors and what persona they project outside may vary widely.

May 22nd, 2008 at 8:24 am
Did i read it wrong or does Garth’s site say “Pumper Bill” is a renter himself?
How backwards is that?

What’s going to happen to all these partially finished condos since the developers seem to be able to walk away at a moments notice? (like they did the leaky condos). Are they going to become giant squats full of homeless and gigantic drug bazaars? God help you if there’s one of these partially finished condos around the corner from your “million dollar” home. How could they NOT become magnets for illegal activity? Seems one of those could single-handedly ruin a neighborhood…?
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:04 am
From the Globe: Q1 US home prices fall by the largest amount in 17 years;
‘“The large overhang of real estate inventory awaiting sale continues to force price declines in many areas, but particularly in places that had seen very sharp appreciation,” Patrick Lawler, the agency’s chief economist, said in a prepared statement.’
Good thing we don’t see either of (a) increasing inventory or (b) a period of rapid price appreciation here in Vancouver
May 22nd, 2008 at 7:55 am
I guess it all depends what exactly the price is. If we’re talking 2003 prices for these places, plus $20k (lets call that 5-10%), it might be worth it. That could be a 30% discount on todays prices.
May 22nd, 2008 at 6:09 am
Because people don’t understand the truth:
RE prices are determined only by what the buyer is willing to pay, not by the cost to the seller.

The high paid spinners… Bill Good, Muir, Patrick, et all should have no problem turning this into a selling opportunity.
“Get in now, before construction costs price you out of the best place on earth housing market” will be the message.
The secondary message they will pump and push will be that prices aren’t too high; it’s taxes and development fees.

I am wondering if the +$20-$40K would represent market value for the units? Further, if contracts are then just terminated and deposits returned … I am guessing the strategy is that the developer would then put the units back on the market at an increased price? With things slowing down, this strategy may prove problematic.
