Stats are out for January 2017.

Worst January in the last 6 years in terms of number of sales for residential detached.  Prices down.  Morale down.  Chinese can't get money out and those that can, can't buy here.  

Where or where have the buyers gone.... LOL

Winter is always slow for any year. Increased  January for as long as can be remembered. Happiness up.  Prices up. People who need to can get cash out, and those that can't dont buy in Vancouver.  Purchasers are everywhere

Purchasers are everywhere except Vancouver. 

It's official...

"Home sales plummet in previously red-hot Vancouver"

Not even a realtor (or tdma) could find the bright spot in those numbers...

these numbers dont scream crashing..in fact these numbers are a lot better than whats been posted in those biasd newspaper articles
re sold under asking. of course...have you seen how much people are asking? most sellers are asking PEAK prices if not MORE

Disaster numbers from January.

You know its bad when realtors are complaining about the media - crying all the way to their over leveraged homes.

lol

If anything the media is underselling how bad it is. If they had any balls, they would investigate the industry, the kickbacks, the fraud and everything else that is commonplace.

We gonna believe the media or realtors who told us that it wasn't foreign buyers then cried about a tax that preceded a disastrous 8 months.

LOL

not only that, they're from a known negative person in Ontario. 

At this rate, the BC government will collect $300 million less in Land Transfer Tax (aka. Christy Clark’s 2015 and 2016 windfall profits to balance the BC budget).

I like this stat...I knew this was gonna happen, but she doesn't care because the budget doesn't come out until after the election.  Maybe I won't love this stat so much when she devises a new way to rape and pillage our collective rectums to make up for the loss of revenue...after the election all bets are off, I suspect they will cancel the tax come summer (assuming they get re-elected)

Can't rely on PTT as much as we do.

Much like Alberta relying pretty much on oil for revenues. When oil tanks they all start blaming someone else instead of looking inward.

Its a classic win win.  Focusing on the transfer tax is the way to go, and takes money from the right source.

More biased reports from the professional media.

Well, this is a professional reputable website. Any tom dick and harry can get a realtor license and claim the market to be hot - LOL

2000sqft - cue the crying

^^--- irrelevant country's financial story

Realtor licenses are hard to obtain with a stringent exam required. All candidates must be of good reputation to quality.

To the moon!

"The benchmark price for detached properties is $1,474,800. This represents a 6.6 per cent decline over the last six months and a 0.6 per cent decrease compared to December 2016."

All the jawboning the last 6 months about the market crashing and its 6.6%?
Way too funny.

I am sure those who jumped in in June before they were "priced out forever" are laughing about the 7% decrease . Hilarious.

Good night ETB. Tomorrow will be yet another morning where you wake up wrong about the market.
