I wouldn't worry too much about losing out on a home like that. There will be 100 more just like it when you start looking again.

^ True that. Decided to hold off till another year and revisit, a lot of things can change and the intangibles right now are scaring the crap out of me

I think waiting was a good call. I wouldn't commit to waiting a full year, but today probably isn't the day to buy your first home.

If you cherry pick the very top price, and the very bottom price, and define that as the overall housing market, then sure, a drop of 20% is possible, even reasonable.

In this report, prices have dropped 2.6%. Once Realtor 1 uploads/fixes the picture for the Dec numbers, we can have an apples to apples comparison.
Looks like 5% was pretty close.

10% correction looks inevitable at this point. Hopefully not anymore than 20%.

We barely have a correction in 2015. That doesn't bold well for 2016, something's gotta give.

I just had a quick look
4780 listings under "Calgary"
1367 of these are listed as vacant
Of course this does not count for a non updated listing where a tenant was brought into the property and kept up for sale or a home which was occupied and is now vacant. I highly doubt this makes up for a 17% variable.
Edit: found the variable which takes vacancies up to 43%. The 719 new builds ....many of which are not even available for occupancy as they are still under construction.
Reminds me of the CBC article today about Foreclosures SPIKING 30%
Anyone who follows the foreclosure thread would see that this is a bait headline. Sure there are foreclosures in the process which have not been listed but anyone who reads the headline vs looks at the actual numbers would see 2 different paintings.

68 foreclosures as at Jan 12, 2016. Doesn't look too bad all things considered.

Things have picked up in Lake BV, there were about half a dozen sales in the last week. I have seen some sales in other areas that I watch as well.

Well, I can't speak for BV specifically, this isn't true for the city as a whole in terms of the normal spring rush we should be getting into.
Month to date in April, sales are down 16% April 2016 month to date over April 2015 month to date.
What makes that stat worse is last year on April 25 sales were down 25% April 2015 month to day over April 2014 month to date (aka our -16% this year is on a year that was already -25% from the last year).
As those stats are month to date, they would fit your window of the last couple weeks pretty accurately.
