You can't go on realtor.ca and tell me there's a shortage of listings. Once sellers face reality that buyers aren't going to pay stupid prices for their places, lower prices to reflect actual market prices that sell, then the so called "shortage" will be alleviated.

This is bang on from our experience. There were many places available but at unreasonably inflated prices. They would sit and sit. Made me wonder about our place...
We negotiated down to 238 on this (Keep in mind the condo fees):
