I guess I'm one of those locals who still doesn't get it ;  how can listings continue to decline in the face of the  rising prices and no jobs that the article talks about, if there is no shortage of homes available for sale? Especially if everyone is cashing out and becoming an RV living snowbird?  And we are selling off our land? That's laughable with all the zoning and ALR restrictions = it simply isn't true. Where it is correct is that the out of control real estate is a government created problem. I'd add city planners to that list of culprits since they are the ones still promoting density increases and transit construction for condos that nobody lives in. Now that is foolish planning but it's what they do everyday.
