The buyers are who-ever is making a mint right now. Ten years ago Resource company CEO's were getting paid nothing- now they dont know what to do with their money.<br /><br />Even so, the very expensive homes are being sold with a few Million taken off the list.<br /><br />Now to your point - I agree 100%. You buy a house or any investment (a home is the single biggest investment for most Canadians) based on your own criteria. Rent/buy, income projection, interest rate, need etc.<br /><br />You dont buy based on other people's angst. How did that work out when the herd rushed into Nortel?Fish10https://www.blogger.com/profile/09770438465068216630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251672323919283767.post-25549481891752293432010-09-29T22:12:00.440-07:002010-09-29T22:12:00.440-07:00"That could be an interesting snapshot of the...<i>"That could be an interesting snapshot of the high-end market. "</i><br /><br />Properties in the stratosphere probably don't tell you much about the market in general. High end properties will sell all over the map and can take years to sell. Often list price is barely looked at; guys with that sort of $ to drop on this property could care less what "list" is, as they're likely smart enough to do the math themselves.<br /><br />It's interesting looking at these high end properties, though. Unless you're speculating, the same principle should apply to all properties: who gives a f%^& what other people are paying?jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155122147972263497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251672323919283767.post-39645663717332268042010-09-29T22:06:31.614-07:002010-09-29T22:06:31.614-07:00Hey Fish Conrad Scum was back in court today with ...Hey Fish Conrad Scum was back in court today with a new Million Dolllar lawyer. lets see if he can buy his way out of jail?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251672323919283767.post-17745323766183573002010-09-29T21:42:02.171-07:002010-09-29T21:42:02.171-07:00Sorry Alex- you will have to get all that from you...Sorry Alex- you will have to get all that from your Realtor.<br /><br />What's up in Abbotsford?<br /><br />http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/reb/1980011446.htmlFish10https://www.blogger.com/profile/09770438465068216630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251672323919283767.post-28739082905121465182010-09-29T20:13:31.410-07:002010-09-29T20:13:31.410-07:00Sold for 9 million, 25% off asking?
