Thoughts and news from real estate

Some thoughts before I bring you some interesting bits of real estate news from around Canada and the World...

Stop me if you've heard this already. Actually, you can't stop me. you can only stop reading. Anyways, the stock market is chugging along, the housing market seems to be moving upwards with no end in sight, and many people are saying that interest rates are going to come down even more. Do you see a problem here? Everything seems to be doing great! Now, I'm the last person to be a doomsday soothsayer, however, something doesn't seem right here. Should there be a balance in the marketplace? Is the recent news of BMO layoffs the beginning of something bigger? Stay tuned. In the meantime, continue to take advantage of these trends. Change is good! Remember this.

Now on to the news....
