Why, on the Gulf Islands or Whistler, where some properties have been listed for well over a year and sit unsold, are the owners dropping the price 1-2% at a time.
We are hard-wired by evolution NOT to take a loss, even if that is the logical thing to do. Take a small loss now or a bigger loss later.
How often have you bought a stock and watched it dip down past your stop loss, watched it bounce up reinforcing the thought that you were right to reject the loss, and then the thing dives down under the sea taking your hard earned money with it.
We have all done it. We cannot help it.
Nortel was one of those which took thousands of Canadian RRSPs into the abyss.

Vancouver is the only city where condominium buildings have to built twice. Once in a slip-slop manner to pre-sell to the flippers and the re built again so the final owners can live in it without getting black mould in their lungs.
Hilarious.
At least it keeps the hammer jockeys in work and beer and other things.
Wonder how it is that the developers of the shitty condos seem to walk away without any retribution? Anyone know the answer?
