We are in the midst of a global financial crisis. People are naturally concerned about their jobs, their finances, their investments, and of course – REAL ESTATE. I am getting asked constantly by friends, family, and clients: How is the market? Are prices coming down? Is the Condo Market Crashing?
The numbers are in for November and it isn’t pretty.  TREB just released their sales figures for the month of November and unlike last month, we can now say that for the resale downtown condo market, prices have fallen.  Let’s just get right into the numbers.
