AirCare, new vehicles and False Economy: We bought our smallest vehicle ever last year, a used 2007 model and most basic ie no power windows etc. Bought it with about 55,000 km. Bough it from a major dealer with the whole service record which included about 400 dollar brake job Recently the brakes started to wobble when pressure applied. Was pissed off and called the dealer. .Got an e-mail back suggesting they need it for 2 hours to diagnose. Then I thought..this already sounds like BS…no I'll call our mechanic. Our mechanic stated that high probability the rotors are likely shot…and I said what ????….I have the records they were serviced before we bought it. Our mechanic said its been his experience that the rotors for these small vehicles are basically toast on low mileage { told me some horror… Read more »

"Housing prices do not drive quality of life." In fact I would go farther and say it's the opposite – quality of life drives house prices. I would rather rent in a place with high house prices than buy in a place with low house prices simply because the house prices in the latter are low for a reason – no-one wants to live there. I'm not arguing with you that house prices in vancouver are absurd, which is why they will eventually come down. And overall, of course I would rather live somewhere with medium house prices in line with wages, and for that in Canada we can go to Ottawa, Halifax, Montreal or even Toronto. Unfortunately (for people who pin all their hopes on owning their own home) Vancouver is always going to be a little higher than… Read more »

"Again – this city has THE WORST quality of life in North America for a young, hardworking professional couple looking to start a family." Housing prices do not drive quality of life. Job security, crime rates, leisure amenities, weather and the quality of your social and family networks are what drives quality of life. I find people who think that all they need to be happy and content is a house they can call their own to be extremely shallow. As well, what is this North America nonsense? Since when can you just lump the housing prices of two different countries into one? The UK and Germany are both in Europe but no-one compares their housing prices. Also, as one part of a young, hardworking couple I disagree with you on another point. As with anything if you are part… Read more »

#182 Jimmy,

Using "year over year" stats allows Remax to factor in last fall and the spring which spikes the stats in favour of condos. It is misleading because it doesn't tell the truth about how these stats will read over the next year.

The Re Industry has already lost all credibility. This is just another nail in the coffin.

With any good stats, Remax will let the public know with a positive headline:

Condominium market in Canada heating up: Re/Max

Can't believe you people are voting down "No More Gordocracies".

The guy is giving you fools the truth on gold and silver. Bunch of sad sacks out there not realizing that Gold, Silver and Copper are going to tread a lot higher.

People here sometimes are out of touch with reality. As long as the US keeps on printing money, everything especially commodities will drift a lot higher.

Went to an open house today in Burnaby; 3br townhouse. Price just dropped 20k and realtor seemed eager to hear anything resembling an offer. Said it's dead unless you're Vancouver west side.

@Best place on meth:

Go broke retard. I'm sure you're working on it anyway.

Everyday, it's all about bears screaming about housing prices being too high. So when's this so-called "bubble" going to burst? It still hasn't happened and we're about 8 months after the olympics already.
