I said the bubble would burst when we hit page 400--it did (early June 2012). I said the bull market will return when we hit page 800--will be interesting to find out

You don't understand the proper analysis of data and management of statistics in order to separate signal from noise. You can "beg to differ" all you want. It doesn't change the fact that your current analysis willfully ignores sources of statistical noise that render your conclusions about signal as not credible.
My guess is you don't know what "signal" and "noise" mean. In that, I can only direct you to the internet or a statistics textbook.
BTW, I love your render porns. I may have a few really interesting boutique highrisers for you in the coming months, exclusive stuff upcoming in the downtown core, but nothing will get close to it, even Mirvish. Futuristic and bold architecture.
Are we all guys here?
So can we assume that if MLS does not say anything about it the unit is immediately available ?
There is a pretty big chance that I learned and played with these two notions (statistical signal & noise)a lot more than you will ever do but let's not digress on that.
I'm a mid-40s insurance executive & actuary.
You're a nerdy, arrogant kid in his late 20's. One day you'll realize that you're not as smart as you think. And when that happens, if you faithfully follow that path to humility for a decade or more, you may one day begin to become nearly as smart as you think you currently are.
I am seeing some wishful thinking in this report
"Vancouver is in correction mode"
This is one of the very few articles that openly admits that, still an isolated opinion. As for Toronto the people need time to get used to that.
Since Vancouver was well ahead of the country it is normal to be hit the first.
Toronto just needs time to get there on all fronts.
From what I am seeing in my crystal balls (aka real numbers ) the over 1 mil market is stalled.
Lots of properties to choose from in very good areas (not all good properties though) but they are not selling. I will soon see if the prices are dropping
However the under 1 mil $ segment is overheating well, driving the prices up.
Initially I believed that the prices are still going up due to discounted high end sales that were skewing the stats
I will have to put on the same piece of paper the folling:
-price changes for listings above 1 mil
-$ volumes for sales above 1 mil
-sales for properties above 1 mil
-sales for properties under 1 mil and above the average price
-$volumes for the above
Right now I believe that the properties above 700K and under 1 mil are getting higher than normal prices and they are driving the prices up.
This will still inflate the CHMC tabs and the government will be forced to step in again with some restrictions.
I will have to run stats per price segments to see if the increases in the above segment are strong enough to sustain an average price going up AND compensate by a cooling off at the periphery of the market (300K-500K)here asked about my "vision"
someone here asked about my "vision" for Toronto.
You have it above
If you asked for Condos, I think that the article that I pointed out today has a fairly good method to prove that this segment of the market is in trouble (and that is my opinion)
We are just starting to see a correction here, ewe are going to see many other rounds of media intoxication with "prices are going up, rents are going up, the investors are doing OK, half of China is investing in Toronto and so on, but ..the direction that the developers are taking is clear 55% down, you have to get the message! The market is saturated. Do not hope that the renting will save the market.
daveto what is YOUR analysis saying ? Mine, the one you said was wrong, is quoted above.
???...You quoted it yourself...
And the post from G.Turner has nothing to do with your comment about the xs/sub $1m market (which remains statistically and factually untrue.)
I now genuinely think there is something medically wrong with you.
Here is how it worked in US
I am seeing there just 5 out of 15 cities above the 80% of the peak value after 24 months from the peak
10% per year seems to be reasonable
One aspect that you did not mention is that the stepper the appreciation curve the stepper the depreciation curve
Where do you think that Toronto is right now? How far from the peak and on what side of the slope?
