I'm actually pretty disappointed in the Globe & Mail. Every article about housing seems to be an advertisement on behalf of the RE industry. I have been looking at the same for sale signs on the same houses going on nearly 3 months now. I assumed that TREB would eventually use its war chest of funds in a propaganda campaign to try and boost interest from buyers. Banks have cut lending down dramatically new OSFI regulations if put in place will lower buying power for all but few potential buyers. If you are buying now you would theoretically be considered part of the Bull Trap and I wish you luck going forward.
