Hmmm back to the main thread I guess . . .
Quick video at BNN: 3:12 mark about net effect of changes to mortgages.

Obviously it's still early in the 60 day period, but not much of a jump so far in the SFH/Condo sales (not that you'd expect to see that yet I don't think.) SFH sales look like the *might* match last year's January totals but still a ways to go in the last third to get there. Condos on the other hand are falling behind - only 145 sales as of Jan 20 versus the 2010 January total of 320.
Inventory is spiking up as would be expected as well - but condos again are falling behind. Inventory to sales ratios have crossed 7 to 1 now.
