Check this out from Paul Boenisch's Blog. UPDATE Prices are falling sharply. Believe it or not the average SFH price fell 10% this month. Yes in 1 month. $745,778 for November v. $825,206 for October. The average has dipped 19% since March. It will be interesting to see if the benchmarks also make a dramatic drop.

I don’t like the comments of John#3 & Blazer#5, but I fear that our greedy self-serving politicians may be seizing the chaotic economic situation here at home to fatten themselves and their friends.

freakonomists and VHB-fundametalists are right all along, except that their readings exclude the effects of greed and power that shape our skyrocketing RE boom. This time it’ll not be different, pigs are more equal than others..

Thnx Skullboy – great post

“a center – left coalition working IN CONCERT with the Bloc by its very definition contains more MPs, and more political viewpoints. More people will have their concerns addressed and if anyone gets any funny ideas any of the other parties will yank the rug out.”

Hey No-Lympics: Grumpy ol'Boomer, much? I mean Jesus, a center - left coalition working IN CONCERT with the Bloc by its very definition contains more MPs, and more political viewpoints. More people will have their concerns addressed and if anyone gets any funny ideas any of the other parties will yank the rug out. Oh yeah that's WAY worse then Stephen "I'll starve the opposition parties of cash and nobody will notice" Harper. What can I say, I smell the "I've got mine screw everyone else and don't you DARE ask me to contribute" scent of a Boomer. Smells like bacon by the way.

.that’s what I look for in a leader. Tupperware party experience not to mention Mary Kay salesmanship techniques combined with Amway product knowledge...

Why is it that, quite apart from never commenting on the shennanigans of the Disgusting pair, Dodd & Frank and their cohorts, no mention is ever made of the fact that the market went into its current rollercoaster as a direct result of people being VERY afraid of what the Democratic party would do when in power. To say nothing of the totally unknown attributes (if any) of Mr. "Screw the Constitution, I will NOT show my records, or my Birth Certificate" Obama. Now we have a person who has never run even a tupperware party, about to take charge of this mess. No wonder there is jitters! How do you think he will run the Country whenn he does not even have the ethics to prove he is even qualified to be in the position. Well done America, sleep on!.

And what exactly does that have to do with Vancouver? ..guess you must have missed the part about 'our biggest trading partner'.
