pundit bandit / that guy:

The REBGV (Real Estate Board of Greater Van) doesn't include Surrey's statistics because Surrey is part of the FVREB's (Fraser Valley Real Estate Board) territory.

i hate to willful manipulation of the numbers, but maybe they exclude Surrey because:

"…. Surrey [posted] the biggest decline in average house price. Surrey's average detached-home sale, at $520,232, was down six per cent from June." (quote from the sun article)

i'd rather believe it has something to do with how the REBGV and FVREB are defined. anyone?

"when she pops, there won’t be buyers at any price."

That's not entirely accurate. Even in the hardest hit places there will still be transactions. Technically prices actually can't go down without those transactions. If nobody buys then prices are set according to the last recorded sale.

There will always be buyers, many of them on the downside will be convinced that things are about to turn around, others are driving prices downwards by getting what they think is a great deal.

But they can and often do get people to do something that they will later regret. Whether it's paying too much or overlooking flaws in the product that the slick salesman glossed over, it's still dishonest and immoral behaviour.

However, I'm sure some mortgage brokers are honest and forthright, just as some real estate agents are.

"I like condohypes endorsement of Rennie as ‘Best Used Car Salesman’ too."

Oh, I thought we were all going to put Rennie down for 'Vancouverite closest to Hell'.

Dave "Some of the bears here accused me of being a shill or having some type of hidden agenda, which is patently false." Perhaps you don't know what patently false means. It means something is obviously or inherently false. If it were patently false then nobody acting in good faith would have accused you of having a hidden agenda. I can confirm that at least one person did accuse you of having a hidden agenda in good faith, therefore it is not patently false. So, either use terminology you understand and don't try to use words that are beyond you; or, stop saying things that you know are inherently untrue. The latter, I might point out is a big part of the reason you've been accused of these things in the first place, you have consistently misrepresented your positions, your… Read more »

"Are you sure that that ‘The source’ and ‘Dave @ Revnyou’ are not the same poster?"

There's no way he can be all he knows is that they're not connecting through the same network. For all the Pope knows The Source is Dave@Revnyou when he's at work.

However I suspect The Source is just dicking around, saw Dave@revnyou posted his website here publicly and figured he'd just jerk us around a bit.

No matter, this is why it's pointless to discuss identity unless the two are obviously the same person (ie Krrish's many handles).

Lets put an end to the conspiracy theories: I can confirm that ‘Dave’, ‘The Source’ and ‘Dave @ Revnyou’ are all different people.

Can I ask how you confirmed that? IP addresses?

Are you sure that that 'The source' and 'Dave @ Revnyou' are not the same poster?

You don’t have it completely correct. Your husband was also posting under the handle of, ‘the source’.

I have been posting on this site for only a couple months using the handle, ‘Dave’, which is my real first name. Some of the bears here accused me of being a shill or having some type of hidden agenda, which is patently false. When your husband posted his website, many of the bears concluded that it was my supposed hidden identity. Further compounding matters are some coincidental similarities between your husband and I including our first names, places we have lived (Victoria, Burnaby) and our posting information about endurance races. I have only ever posted under one name, which is Dave. My first few posts may have been under ‘anonymous’, but I can’t recall. Nobody has been posing as your husband.

Clear?
