How and Globe publish such trash without putting it in context.. This is the epitome of 'fake news'. Along the same lines as quoting these real estate agents who have it in their interest for market to be healthy. After selling my house several months ago I have had my fill of these agents. They are mostly clowns and incredibly dishonest and I am now a very happy renter.   These numbers are based on the sales closing dates. Wait til you see what these numbers look like 2 or 3 months from now. Anyone who takes the time to look at the realtor.ca site can see prices are already in significant decline. Many houses sitting since March even though they may have been re-listed several times. Its all a game. Prices are easily down by  20 percent in thornhill and richmond hill already.
