Number of realtors in Toronto:
2012 = 34,000
2017 = 48,000

They are all working on commissions! How can you trust any of them? "Its the best time to buy" or "Its the best time to sell". All year long, every year, regardless of reality.

These 48,000 realtors (incredibly huge number!) are working on falling sales, falling prices, smaller commissions and a changing commission/industry structure. Not a good time to be in the industry.
