I've been purveying the same message for a long, long, long time. Medians and averages for Calgary RE are marginally useful. When will CREB decide that Calgary's RE market merits what Vancouver's already has --> a benchmark home price or .... as they have in the U.S. .... a Case-Schiller statistic?<BR/><BR/>So "Case-Schiller" hasn't disappeared. It's still needed and I'll continue to bring it up ... at least until the blog goes off air when the market crashes (latter remark was troll bait).<BR/><BR/>Can you post a meaningful response to benchmark price / Case-Schiller, or are you merely an obnoxious troll?<BR/><BR/>anonymous:<BR/><BR/>how many of you (us) are there? i'm suffering an identity crisis and had to use another name.<BR/><BR/>david:<BR/><BR/>i agree, it gets tiring.<BR/><BR/>beam me up scotty:<BR/><BR/>you're right, there's no intelligent life down here. oh that's too corny.beam me up scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697984990112627316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588496932754350322.post-87977178230101527582007-11-29T13:57:00.000-08:002007-11-29T13:57:00.000-08:00When you're losing hundreds of thousands of dollar...When you're losing hundreds of thousands of dollars at least you can hold your head up high and flash back to the day that you pointed out on some blog that the Dec 2006 inventory was around ~3500 units.
