@No Way Pauly:

he doesn't speak chinese? well shit, heaven forbid someone not speak a language that isn't an official language of the nation.

here comes my vote

Look, PaulB cannot be best realtor. He does not speak Chinese. He has no listings. He has no sales. He has npo brand but for what you give value on his numbers. That’s it. Let professional realtors get credit they deserve. That is all I am saying.

There is no jealousy here. Having a discussion with you fighters is like talking to children. You all sound like “But, but, daddy… you just don’t get it, life is diffrent now.” I say with experience that No! It is not different and you are just angry brats hiding disappointment with being wrong all your lives.

@No Way Pauly:

Exactly. "Best blog" with all the racist undertones in the comments? Give me a break.

@No Way Pauly: Realtor Jealousy huh? It ain't pretty.

Maybe if you got out there and sold more condos people would vote for you as the bestest realtor ever.. or maybe not. But tone down the jealously eh?

@No Way Pauly: You seem really upset about something. First of all 'bears' aren't a monolithic group, they're just people who are bearish on the market. Some of them may have been that way for years and some of them are just looking at the market for the first time and thinking somethings wrong. It's not a fixed belief that is permanent. With your logic 'bulls' have been wrong for years about the US market, does that mean the US market will never be a good buy? give your head a shake. Second of all, what's with the nitpicking about whether Paul is a 'sales person' or not? You agree that he's a licensed Realtor and the Georgia Straight vote is for 'Realtor' not 'salesperson. I think one of the things that is appreciated around here is the data provided… Read more »

I love how anyone who speaks truth here gets shouted down while fantasies get upvoted. Truths shouted down: – Market is still strong – Bears HAVE BEEN wrong for years – PaulB is a licensed realtor but no salesperson – Stats mean nothing when they point to bullish beliefs of flat or up – This site is degenerating from what once was good discussion to schoolyard bullying and rule by a mob. Fantasies Upvoted: – Bob Rennie is slime – Cam Good is slime – Realtors, especially Chipman, are slime – PaulB, however, is a great man – Stats mean everything if I spin them to support my bear fantasy – This site must be protected from the evil spiels of anyone who dares pollute our opinion pools. And you think this blog should get voted Best Blog? Ha! This… Read more »

@Anonymous:

gime a break already!! stop peddling wrong data!

its not sell to list ratio its sell to all available listings!

sell/list ratio is 57% (from the numbers).

the benchmark prices are less then a percent down, so the -6.6% is just a stat blip.

Dave, the crash is setting up, this is not going to be a repeat of '08/09 – get it? Got it?

Good.

Hooo Boy…

we havingk good pee peeing match !!!

PS…PaulB played with Brett Favre?, who starred in " Sometink about Mary" …hoo boy this is a good blog.

No Way Paul must be talkink about Bob Rennie….who never wears out heels of shoes.

NoWayP

Go suck a cat, you shit dip.

@BPOM Brett Favre was top of his game when he went out and still had it when he came back. PaulB is a never was and never will be despite what value you attribute to him sharing silly numbers with you. Say! How's that working out for ya?

@PatientlyWaiting I voted for a realtor who exemplifies the best in the business. He has lived in his neighbourhood for near 30 years, has owned several of the properties in that hood over those years, has championed it and the people who live there, is a standout person, and an absolute success in his profession. His hood is not some westside snooty-ville but more of an overlooked gem. He doesn't advertise on buses, or blog about meaningless numbers. He markets the heck out of his properties and when he walks down the streets of his hood everyone knows him and says warm hellos and invitations for coffee/tea. I believe he's had about 20 listings so far this year with more than 20 sales (works with buyers, too). That is a realtor we just don't see very often in a neighbourhood… Read more »

Meth, PaulB is five hundred times the realtor that Chimpan is/was – I'll use him next time.

Dave, your on drugs – this is not a practice drill.

Fraser Valley – wholly frack, this is gonna be fun, down 6% in a month!

Average prices down 6.6% this month in the valley, sell list = 16%

REGBV stats are out now too

You nerds, I used to enjoy stealing your lunch and any thoughts of making it with the HOT GIRLS when we were in high school.

But here is something from me to you, to help calm the nerves – listings will spike over 17000 before the end of the month.

Grab your shrunken balls and hold on – this gets more interesting from here.
