Heyhey, not ALL realtors twist things!!!
Hehe, not at all
- you are right, numbers are (materially) higher than they were in 2010. The link from Mike F shows the comparisons over the years (I didn't link that as he was in the process of adding the graphs during the weekend.)
We're exactly the same as in 2002 - though I'm not sure how many fewer people Calgary had back then. I would also assume interest rates are much lower now than back then as well. Given the population difference now, interest rates, high wages/bonuses with oil prices - I would have expected it to be higher?
The pending sales graph also shows that sales will continue to be slightly higher than the 2010 year certainly for the next while though it has peaked and is dropping closer already (as would be expected seasonally.)

Haha, I wasn't aware I should be giving any recommendations to anybody.
Really? I kinda like seeing Mike F's monthly stats - I would think it's useful information. Maybe not for everybody I guess, fair enough.
Anyhow, I just like to look at the news, the stats and thinking out loud. I'm glad for the discussion and items that I don't happen to come across that the thread shows me.
I'm also glad the thread gets some good discussion/news these days rather than the silly personal attacks several months ago.
