I took a two-week Honeymoon in 2013, and I can honestly say that by about day number-eleven, I felt I was just about ready to start packing.

– 4) What is going to happen in the downtown condo market? Last month, in my “Top Ten: Real Estate Stories of 2020,” I reckoned that the #2 story of the entire year was the condo market. So when I saw a mere 45 sales under $600,000 in 2020, and finished with a whopping 8,232 in 2013, my head just about exploded.

Remember in 2013 when Nicole Foss suggested that real estate values in Canada would drop, on average, by 90%? How about some headlines from this past month? But here’s an actual person, commenting on Garth Turner’s blog post, detailing his patience as it pertains to the “bubble burst.” Alright, fine.
