Its not quite real estate related but I think it sheds some light on the psychology of the average canadian and why we are in this mess. I work on a trading floor. And a month or two ago we got rid of an analyst. I was surprised as he seemed intelligent and overall reasonable. Well no one knew why but talking the other day to a fairly new young coworker who happens to be in with some of the higher ups. He made a comment. I can sort of tell when a comment is a genuine observation or a comment from someone else. He claimed in his experience the analyst was a doom and gloomer. My interpretation our fearless leadership didn't like what they heard didn't want it to be true so axed the messenger. <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-48792">21</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Interesting story I would like to share.

Before any media hype brainwashed bull calls me bitter renter, I admit I am renting because I am (as they say) "priced out". The funny thing is that I really like being in this situation. It makes my financial decisions so simple. I contribute to my RSP, contribute to my children's RESP, go on vacation, eat out, and YES, rent for half price of owning in the "Best place on Earth". Life's really good! And reading blogs like this and the economic blogosphere in general makes me think that "ignorance is bliss" is not applicable to me anymore. And as a side note for those who think that chinese RE "investors" will save our local market, please read the article in the link below. It may be sooner than later when the chinese will have bigger fish to fry than spending for the absurdly overpriced RE properties here (hey, I am a renter, I can tell it's absurdly overpriced, LOL) <a href="http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/06/guest-post-china-economic-catastrophe.html" rel="nofollow">China - Economic Catastrophe Unfolding</a> <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-48791">15</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> It's amazing to see peoples determination to self destruct their (financial) lives for a piece of RE.

They interviewed people thinking it's a great time to buy. One guy even thought it was a great time to buy a second place with the low interest rates and a 'stablized' market. It's funny how people put more time and research into buying a car than they do with property. That guy and many of the others who are buying fearing prices rise back to 'par' pre-slump will be in for a big surprise. It doesn't help when they interview a industry person saying that the lower mainland's inventory is dwindling and prices are creeping back up. I gotta stop watching the news :) <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-48789">15</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I just watched a segment on CBC on the recent uptick on the market.
