RBC: market irrational, painful correction possible
In case you missed his post in the forum, vanpro linked to the latest RBC affordability report:
The RBC Measures climbed by between 1.0 percentage point for condominium apartments and 3.4 percentage points for detached
bungalows, moving closer to their all-time highs reached at the start of 2008. We fear that the Vancouver market is becoming increasingly disconnected from local demand conditions and vulnerable to a painful correction, especially once interest rates resume their ascent.Such strained conditions warrant close monitoring for any sign that the Vancouver and B.C. markets have become dangerously disconnected from prevailing local housing demand fundamentals.
Check out vanpros post in the forum and the original report PDF here.

@Li Kai Shing
Cut the Music!
Before I give you a Karate Chop to your one and only descended testicle, I want you to listen up: Firstly, the Ravishing one doesn't take advice on romancing the ladies or tips on safe driving from the likes of you.
Secondly, I told you for the last time to stay out of Whalley, this is my neighborhood and the people here are painfully misunderstood. Take it from the Ravishing one, the Whallians are a hard working industrious people when legitimately employed.
That's it… I'm dragging you down to UBC tonight and getting a buddy of mine by the name of Passaglia to punt you back to hong kong. If you land anywhere between Tokyo and Taiwan it counts as a field goal and I win a case of Pilsner.

@whydoItry: Condos may last a few years more. Different story for townhouse complexes, some of those haven't seen an engineer since they were built 20 years ago.

@real_professional:
The Chinese are buying EVERYWHERE, trying to get their money out of China before the economy tanks there.
Dubai times 1000.

Bloomberg: The Chinese are buying in London… this makes sense the British Pound hasn't been beaten down this bad since the Nazi Luftwaffe air bombed the crap out of it it. Buying in Vancouver defies logic – Adam Smith couldn't have explained this behavior.

Li Ka-Shing, who controls developer Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd., last week warned property speculators that the jump in Hong Kong’s home prices may not be sustainable. The city’s property price rally is nearing an end and may drop as much as 20 percent next year and a further 10 percent in 2013, Barclays Capital Asia Ltd. said last month.

@ Li Kai Shing
Sorry to break it to you Li Kai… your global real estate empire is crumbling.
From the Teranet data:
Calgary down 13% from the highs
Ottawa and Toronto down almost 2%
Halifax flat slightly negative
Montreal and Vancouver are the last Jello towers standing.
Volume is shrinking, much like your manhood.
I'm also sorry to tell you that the last time I was visiting your old lady I used your tooth brush to comb my very manly mustache
… and by mustache I mean pubes.

Looks like someone joined the bear cause.
Guess who said this about the Vancouver real estate market:
"It's not sustainable."
