'A good year, but not a great year' - Toronto Star

Article in The Star yesterday tells us that the housing is going to cool off this year. And this is where the trick with these articles comes in to play, is that some people don't read the whole thing and they go around telling everyone that's it's a bad time to do anything in real estate cause the values are gonna plunge deep into a dark toilet and we're all screwed! This has happened to me several times recently, where I have to explain that we're still in a period of healthy growth with no signs of anything bad happening. Fact is we've seen such tremendous numbers, particularly since 2002, that having a steadier year isn't all that awful :)
