"#94 Supra boy ( an intelligent comment for a change) Did you buy a brain on Second Life or did you put down the crack pipe today? Just kidding since you actually sound reasonable today, congrats."

I think I got a second life since I'm making money from stocks.

Thanks M-

For a minute there I thought might have missed a "New Math" concept! Glad to know I'm not that out of it

Realpaul: you mean "median". 2 2 5 6 7 8 9 9 9 9 9 Given this set of numbers: Average = Mean = (75/11) = 6.8 Median = middle value = 8

#118 lilypad, a mean average is an arbitrary number which separates the sample ( in this case real estate sales figures) into two :EX If there are ten sales from 100K to 1 million then sale number five ( 500K) represents the 'mean' average , It's often used by the realturd industry to confuse the math challenged. It's simply the number in the middle, it means absolutly nothing.

"Immigrants from China will continue to arrive in Greater Vancouver 40000 - 50000 strong every year as in the past." That's good for them because they'll have lots of choices where to live, whether they rent or buy. Guess which one they choose to do when prices are dropping 2% per month.

Once the olympics are over, what flavor koolaid will they drink? Stick a fork in this market. The numbers speak for themselves and are much more meaningful than rhetoric and opinion from either bull or bear viewpoints.

realpaul: "(note this the mathematical average not a mean average)" What is the difference between the two, if you don't mind my asking?

Supraboy Says: "Is it fact or is it propaganda? My dad just read the chinese newspaper here and he said Vancouver real estate will turn upwards in mid 2009. So who should we believe now? That Chinese newspaper, I think, is a bunch of bull. They’re trying to keep the Chinese in Vancouver upbeat thinking they’ll be richer." Immigrants from China will continue to arrive in Greater Vancouver 40000 - 50000 strong every year as in the past. Yuan to C$ is 5.6:1 compare to 6.8:1 in the past, so more buying power.
