I hope it won't take that long for house prices here to go down that much. A quick drop right away is preferable to death by a million papercuts.

Newsflash!!! More cost of oil=greater gas prices and greater price on houses. Anybody who WANTS $45 per barrel of oil is STUPID. Remember the days when oil was less than $20 per barrel? Anyone that tells you that it is not possible is FOS. Im looking forward to $0.50 a liter in Alberta(and the rest of the country). Its ironic the oil is gotten here and the prices in Alberta are just as high as the rest of the country. Perhaps the people are dumb here that WANT the price to stay high. Who does it benefit? Just those in the oil industry and homeowners. No one else. Bring on the collapse of the conservatives, oil goons, rip off real estate schemes. Some Albertans DO NOT want increased oil prices.

Dont wait, you will be priced out of the market forever. Dont you get it yet?? nobody is going to slash their product by 50% after several months of hardship. There is something called HOPE, these sellers are expecting a miracle to happen in the spring. It will be several years before you see what you are expecting if at all. jojo AKA mike.slob – YES, buy, buy, buy, brampton, oakville and mississauga are all immune and I see a 15% price increase in 2009.

When I drive around and look at the shopping malls in Halifax, it seems like there is no concern about the economy. People are still buying things they don't need and driving larger vehicles than they require. I think there is a lag time in Atlantic Canada, and we still think that the economy is rosy, despite what is happening in the rest of Canada. What are your thoughts? Is there a lag here?
