Bond yields can swing quite a bit. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. I just think that there's a great deal of uncertainty when it comes to this stuff...

Huge spike in active listings in C1 from 484 to 888. Mostly condos: 422 to 823. Could have some affect on prices in the near future in the area. DOM is 50% higher in C1~15 and average %list went down from 101% to 98%. I know I probably say this every month, but I think February will be...

You're right. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a ratio of 1.48 of debt to income. If I graduate from University with student loans totalling $60,000 and my first year's income is $40,000, I'm probably going to have no problems paying down that debt. If you own a house that costs...

That deserves a big :confused:WTF:confused:.

Does this mean that between June 2005 and December 2008, house prices only rose 11.6%? Between April, 2009 and August, 2010, they rose 23%?

The U.S. is the other one.

Your trollface?

What percentage of your income will your mortgage take from you? What percentage of your assets will be buried in the condo? What is your comfort level when it comes to risk? Recommendations vary per person. A condo is a highly leveraged investment, so there's a high degree of risk in the...

Sounds good to me. {{HUGS}}

If you look back in the thread, I was responding to your response to Eug's post on December numbers. I was merely saying that the latest December report does not make for a strong case that there's a contraction in sales. June-Dec figures may be a different story. That being said, Jan-Dec...

guava hasn't been updated for December, yet.

The sales numbers mean didly squat. They're pretty comparable to 2007 levels, which were pretty high. Late 2009 and early 2010 are the anomalies. People were acting pretty crazy. Low supply is a symptom of people being disappointed with the retreat of the buying frenzy of earlier this...

Why not just keep the condo and rent it out?

- reads your needs really well, and doesn't waste your time looking at listings that don't either a) further his understanding of your needs or b) have a lot of potential as a potential buy. - is able to read market conditions accurately, nationally and locally, and conveys that information to...

Ummm... gut statistics? A few random events could result in a much changed variation between 699 and 828. The numbers are pretty small. Weather, news, a few major openings, etc., could throw the difference quite a bit.

Statistically insignificant. Some of the skew could even be attributed to the extra Sunday in Nov, 2010 compared to Nov, 2009.

Here's another link: http://www.taiwan-panorama.com/en/show_issue.php?id=201079907052e.txt&cur_page=2&table=2&distype=&h1=Finance%20and%20Economy&h2=Economics&search=&height=&type=&scope=&order=&keyword=&lstPage=&num=&year=2010&month=07 The graph seems to suggest that the ratio has been over...

Or how the correction will occur (Overnight in a big crash? Swinging up and down like the market lately? Or as a slow lazy decline?).
