Test drive the forum
Discussion seems to be getting heated around here, and people seem to want to talk about a number of different topics, so I’ve rebuilt the forums. If you have a VCI user account, you’ll be able to post topics and take part in the discussion there. There’s a link to the forum at the top of the blog pages, and recent forum posts will show up in the upper right hand corner of the blog.
As always feedback is welcome.

I guess one could use a 'fake' account. But I find the discussions in the comment section much quicker and nicer to scroll through. I never really liked the RET website for its format: threads tend to overlap, and multiply. It's hard to develop an interesting discussion over a day or two.

@domus: Thats why this site is awesome, you have a choice of your preferred discussion format
The advantage of the blog discussion is that we've made it quick and easy to comment. This means we get some great flowing conversation, but it also brings up the signal to noise ratio, and some great topics can flow past and get forgotten quickly.
The forum is different because it can be more visitor driven, interesting topics from a week ago can float to the top if that's what people want to talk about. Because the forums require registration, I suspect they'll have better signal to noise ratio, but less active conversation.
In the near future i'll be experimenting with making the recent forum posts more prominent on the main page. This will give registered users the ability to post thoughts or breaking news right away to spur discussion, some of which will likely make it's way into the blog posts.

Crabman is correct, your email is not visible to others and will never be used for spam. Your email address simply locks your user account to a contact, so you can use an automated system to change your password if you forget it. Registering for an account also claims your username, so an anonymous commenter can't enter it and spoof a comment as your own (this is true for the blog and the forum).
If you don't feel comfortable entering your email address, no problem- you can continue to comment in the blog without entering it, just not in the forums.
Forgot to mention one other benefit of registering for a user account: People who register are locking their opinions to a handle, so they have double comment voting power on the blog. (+/- 2 instead of 1).

Fellow Bears – I need some help.
I’ve spent a lot of time convincing my fiancée that it is a horrible time to buy. She agrees, but is becoming discouraged. I’ve presented all the arguments on risk, fundamentals, etc., and made a strong case as to why Vancouver is ripe to crash, big time. She countered me the other day with, “I don’t know. You have good arguments but I also think you hold this stance because you are waiting for the crash. Yes, the States is a mess, but some metropolitan areas must be fine – what about New York?” I did the whole, not everybody wants to move here and the Vancouver is not New York bit, but need more evidence of differences. I noted how net migration into Vancouver is not high enough to absorb supply and the income levels are drastically different. Also noted the insane income ratio for Vancouver, but I need more.

Kits are held aloft by wind. Wind is the movement of air. Once you run of out air, there's no wind to hold a kite aloft. Earth's atmosphere does not extend as far as the moon.
Therefore while I'm sure it looks to you like the kit's going to the moon, it isn't.

#18 @Human778: Vancouver is not New York by a long shot and prices in New York fell 30% and continue to flounder. Offer to move to New York. It is a real world-class city, not a wannabe, and it is *more affordable* than Vancouver.
There are many more employment options there too. You can get a deal on rent, same as Vancouver, and bank massive savings if you live below your means. You won't be "priced out" because the American housing market isn't going anywhere.
Honestly, I'd move to New York if it weren't for family.

Please note:
Usa Real Estate fall into first phase

Vancouver real estate fall into third phase.

Kite to the moon, you seem like a smart guy, so here's what I propose you do:
You're obviously a REALTOR and a good one too, so go talk to you clients and convince them to sell their houses now. That will get the market crashing and in a year they can buy them back for half price. After that they only wait for a couple more years and since Vancouver RE only goes up, up, up (like a kite to the moon), their properties will double in value and they can make money on them again. You can throw in a story or two about Kites and wind and other assorted quotes from Confucius while at it if you want.
Sounds good?
I think so!

Tell her some wives are willing to hold back too. Behind rational reasons, it is mostly because of quality of life. All the couples I know who bought in the past 4 years overextended themselves (I mean mortgage > 3 x family income), and they are going through very hard times. The stress burden on a family is huge, especially if you have small kids that make you life crazy enough by waking up the middle of the night (this is almost the perfect recipe for a divorce). My friends also had to deal with post-buying depression: after a month, they open their eyes on the drawbacks of bying, the bills were pilling up, their home was smaller than what they used to rent, they started to realized the kids would soon outgrow their bedroom and their was no way they could afford a larger home. Then came the time when we were going for holidays, restaurants, or paying ski lessons to our kids, while "buyers" had to stay home and eat cheap. When I see a couple making $200,000 telling me they cannot afford the average sushi place, I find it bizarre… Another thing I noticed is the amount of time my friends spend looking at interest rates, inflation, bubble talk, etc… If they read prices might fall by 20%, they lose sleep (20% x 800 000 = $160 000, not something you save in one month… or even a year).
If your wife does not have kids yet, and wants to at some point, ask her what matters the most: moving in the perfect nest with fresh (toxic) paint, or the freedom to give up work for 2 years if she feels like it.
I was obsessed with having a house of my own, so I bought a nice recreational property for cheap in a remote area.
Now if you want to be DINKYs all your life, then I do not know…

#28 @Anonymous: This is a great point. Many women *really* do not want to leave their baby to go back to work. They hate every minute of it, it feels wrong, etc, etc. Some women don't care, but you never know.
My wife had a good maternity leave and she hated going back. It was much harder than she expected because all her priorities changed. Work didn't matter as much and it was keeping her away from her baby, etc. She's moving to part time because when you have kids quality of life is #1. It's the difference between sanity and the alternative.
If you buy now then you may not have these options. You may need two full time incomes. Freedom is valuable. Maybe not as valuable as owning property for the last 5 years, but what about the next 10? If you're having kids you will want flexibility. It is no fun being "stuck".

Man I cant believe the stuff they try to pawn off as advertising. Here I am believing that money cant buy happiness, and meanwhile they say it can. Granted it is a ton of money and I dont think I would be all that "happy" knowing I paid 300K for a 1 bedroom condo in Burnaby.

Human778,
Tell her that a) New York real estate did drop significantly, and b) that what matters is the price : rent ratio. New York is expensive to live in, period, because it's New York. Doesn't matter whether you rent or buy. Vancouver is only expensive if you buy. That's how you know it's a bubble. None of the justifications about why New York is more expensive really matter, what matters is whether prices and rents are out of whack.
Show her some listings, what you can buy for $2000 a month and what you can rent. If she shows you a condo you could afford to buy, show her what you could rent for that amount. And don't forget to factor in strata fees, taxes and maintenance. A $2000 mortgage payment is not the same as $2000 rent, even if utilities aren't included.

Keep her busy, get her pregnant, she will forget about RE after 3 months, that's what i did, and moved to a larger place (>1000 sqft) and she's happy. Saving money and knowing that she can stay one year at home on mat leave and at least another one without worrying about work will help you guys survive.
The other option is no holiday, slave of the bank, probably divorce. I think this is the beginning of the end for real, with no safety nets from government.

@Human778: Kind of a neat question. First maybe start looking; I think once one sees what they can get for the ammount of money they spend it would discourage them (unless she can get pulled in by salesman tactics). Worst case perhaps you can compromise and say spend only 1/2-2/3 what you were originally going to spend. That may ammount to buying nothing anyways
Another compramise is to buy a place in another city and have a rental management property take care of it; this isn't really realistic for first time buyers though.

Most of the suggestions to Human778 assume the wife is convinced that prices will eventually go down. If she is not convinced, then you have a tough task. Here is a handy rent-vs-buy calculator that I use sometimes:

I keep checking in on Ben Jones' blog over at housing bubble blog. Rarely does a day go by without a reference to Canada's housing market, and rarely does it pass without someone commenting on our delusions. They sure are getting a kick out of us! I told my partner that my uncle in the US had offered to give a downpayment to his daughter and her new husband for a house. They refused, saying they didn't want to be committed. "Smart move" my partner commented. Then I told him "The house they're looking at is $150k-4 beds and 2 baths, 10 years old" He nearly flipped. Too bad someone won't give us a downpayment for a $700k house in Vancouver. Oh right, they will…I think it's called the CIBC 5% cash back mortgage. Here, have a shovel, we'll help you dig your own grave!

Notice just how much they have cranked up the hype machine lately, the other day the snake oil sales team-oops I mean the “CKNW business experts” were making reference to the claim that 3.5 billion people watched the Olympics on TV and each one of those people wish they could move here.
Better we call Chippy and see if he can set us up with a condo and possibly secure some easy financing, before all those 3.5 billion decide to move here next week.

superduperbull,
"Yeah sounds real nice loser. A fucking ground floor moldy shit hole. This site is just filled full of little loser dreamers like you."
Lack of sleep due to financial stress is very unhealthy. It causes nervous breakdowns and lack of control over what comes out of one's mouth. You should consider visiting your psychologist that is if you are not embarrassed of him reminding you to pay your bills…

VREEA
Maybe we should consider archiving superduperbull's comments. Future historians might be interested:
"In the early 21st century, renters were considered pariahs, social outcasts, losers. Society valued homeownership, debt and golden calves . This was only a few years before the second great depression, which turned out to be much greater than the first one in the 20th century. Treated like the cockroaches, they shared another trait with above-mentioned insect: They survived the nuclear financial holocaust unscratched and bought houses for pennies on the dollar…".

@superduperbull: Unfortunately I rent a brand new condo, I'm afraid I have to, because I'm saving up to buy a house like this so I too can be a home owner!

You might lure back freako from RET if the nut jobs you have here put up a better fight. Some posters claimed they called the police after some of his posts over there after being torn apart by his arguments. Great stuff.

Don't care for the forums much. I like a one-stop-shop. I don't care if random conversations happen. I'm a big boy, I can scroll through all the bullshit and sift out the posters with anything relevant to say, on either side of the argument.
So, count me for leaving things as they are on the board.

A friend and his wife arrived today from Belfast, N Ireland. It was the bubbliest place in the UK over the past 10 years. Apparently the locals thought it was different in Belfast and fundamentals didn't apply. It's now off 40% from the peak.
My friends bought their place for 93k in 03, at the peak houses on their street sold for 275k and they put their house on the market last June at 189k. I asked them today if they'd had any offers. No they said, not even one viewing. Now THAT's a bear market. Since June they lowered the price in increments to 149k and still NOTHING.
When i explained the Vancouver housing mania to them (we're different, offers 100k over asking, real estate always goes up etc) my friend's wife said "Oh that's what we all thought too."
Roll on the correction.

BTW, my friends are on holiday, not emmigrating. With the collapse of their real estate holdings (2 houses) and the British peso, they have been well and truely priced out of the Vancouver market. They had considered moving as she has a Canadian passport.

@Human778:
No better example than Tim Geithner's house. This is 1/2 hour from Manhatten and is in a area comparable to Kerrisdale/Shaughnessey (although outside NYC itself – remember the metro has almost 1/2 the population of Canada).
http://www.cnbc.com/id/31086616
Geithner has been unable to sell for $1.5 m. Zillow estimate is $1.367 m. The house is now rented for $7500/month.
These numbers speak for themselves. Anyone who cannot see the difference in affordability and value between Vancouver and New York is completely hopeless.

@Vansanity: Don't worry, things will stay as they are on the board – the forum is another option, not a replacement for the blog. You're free to ignore it.
I still think it will be useful. VHB has started a thread with Inventory's listing numbers, and starving artist has graphed those numbers. So now there's a thread that tracks the listing numbers and includes a graph (because you can upload images to your forum comments unlike the blog).
So now that information is in one place that can be updated and found easier than searching back through thousands of comments.

Inventory
How about some commentary on the numbers you post. What areas? What is the significance? Nobody can draw any conclusions from them now…
