Scarey headlines topped the newspapers this year, The Montreal Gazelle adds a year end reflective; That there was never any reality for all the bubble and housing price level concerns that dominated through out the year.
I read Garth Turner's blog from time to time (The greater fool), and he's incredibly negative about real estate. He's one of those hit and miss kind of guys who happens to have a pretty large soapbox. He's been proven to be wrong about as many things as he's been proven to be right about. I read him with a grain of salt.
David,
If you are a "doomsayer" every so often you will be right, and then you can say "I told you so..."
But, it takes courage and convition to proceed in tough times.
Actually, that was October 2008 and lasted for a few months after that.
Toronto home prices have never been higher. I am optimistic about sales volumes and prices in the GTA for 2011.

Hello Malcolm,
Thank you for your comment and perspectives on Garth Turner.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for your comment, I also believe that glass half full that the lacking ingredient in any market is confidence. That is where the media can have a very large impact when they sensationize headlines and micro manage statistical changes month over month.
Cheers and the best for 2011!
Dave
Dave, facts are better than opinions and hyperbole from folks like Garth Turner and I agree with you, get the facts and research from a real estate professional, not a nay sayer.
