Growing from age one to age two represents a fifty percent increase in their time on earth, but it’s merely another twelve months for you. I was on vacation, playing in a park with my 2-year-old daughter in Jackson, Wyoming, giving a phone interview to a Toronto Star reporter about the Competition Bureau’s ruling.

December was a tough month for old Dave-o, let me tell you. As is the custom with my start-of-the-year posts, I like to look ahead to what is or may be topical over the next twelve months. The beginning of last year saw a two-part blog series called, “Burning Questions For 2022.” I did get one thing.

While we have seen 4-6 month periods of cool markets, and periods of hyper-appreciation followed by periods of decline, I think it’s fair to say that those calling for the “crash” back in 2004, or 2007, or 2011, or 2016, were proven exceptionally incorrect. It was almost $1,200,000 last year. Mom and Dad.

And as I noted in today’s front page excerpt, a follow-up post on Tuesday’s blog about Durham Region is, in fact, very necessary. Prices in Durham Region are up 31.9%, year-over-year, in the month of September. In past blogs, you’ll notice that I only look at Halton, Peel, Toronto, York, and Durham.

2) Just how rampant financial fraud is in 2022. You can’t expect an insurance company to provide coverage on a home where nobody is inside, nobody checks up on it, and where if a pipe burst, it might be a month or two before anybody notices! I have written almost 3,000 blog posts in fifteen years, I can’t remember them all.

With Monday’s blog post, and with a rash of recent articles about real the real estate industry, it’s certainly “Hate on a Realtor” week. Two months later, I received a notice from the Real Estate Council of Ontario saying that a complaint had been filed, against myself, on behalf of the buyer. I was wrong.

We’ve discussed this as recently as last month. I told them they couldn’t just throw two storeys on top of an existing 2-storey building, and they were confused. Applying for a space to be rezoned is onerous and takes a minimum of nine months to be completed and reviewed. Their naivety was cute and endearing.

Kayla: We’ve been using AppFolio since 2011, I believe. So I would say probably 14 days before the shutdown, the owners of the company were meeting every single day at 2:00.
