Well clearly the market has slowed-there has been no doubt about that...however, I was a bit shocked today to read the Globe and Mail article on this issue: apparently the Vancouver area's almost 43% decrease in sales is the worst in the country, AND for the first time since 1999, the Canadian real estate market prices are dropping.  Fortunately, to date the drops have not been substan ...

In a recent article in the Georgia Straight, City Councillor Susan Anton was quoted advocating that new homes be required to be clothes line ready.  Anton pointed out the many reasons why clothes lines are not only cost effective but also very environmentally friendly.  She is quoted as saying: "I think laundry on a line is a beautiful sight," but unfortunately many rental units, and con ...

Do changes to the Mortgage Financing Rules really spell doom and gloom for the market? Not Likely!

Yesterday the federal government announced some big changes coming in October 2008.  I think these changes could have the most significant impact in Vancouver, given that it is likely the least affordable city in the country...however, having seen the cover story in the Vancouver Sun ...

As you can see from the graph below, not only have we been continually exceeding all time market highs for the past few years, we now seem to be receding and heading into a slower market.
