it's so satisfying to see, shit not selling, seems like we are back to 2015 prices. I am seeing east york bungalows go for 600-650, not the 900k that they were getting months back.
I haven't done any full assessment, but just areas i am familiar with prices have really come down. Love how everyone is super quiet about it too  I am sure TREB's market report will show a price increase or some bullshit, but really just check your individual neighbourhoods, the haircuts have started 
Jeff, buy up an entire hood now, unless of course you already bought.

Haha I see realtor friends posting those articles but I understand why - it's their business
I'll have a house locked down in the next month for sure. Would have already but I'm dealing with a seller that refuses to budge and thinks they're getting asking. Pretty stupid on their part as the mortgage increase coming will bump it even further and have fewer buyers (they're asking more than the area is selling for right now)
Also one house I saw they put an offer time and date on the home lol wtf? Everyone will just wait and not offer and the guy fucked on his asking price - date is Thursday next week too which is a day after when everyone is expecting the BOC to announce a rate increase. Good plan guys - fire your agent

Been happening since the day they announced the foreign buyer policy in Ontario.
Houses that would sell in hours before are now sitting for weeks.
No, it's been happening only in the last week(s) where homes are actually selling for lower prices.
Sitting on the market and being relisted is not the same as the homes actually selling and the market sentiment shifting. The acceptance of lower offers is a significant mindset shift.

Wrong. Market started to cool before the announcement. Although prices remained unaffected to recently.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought
The day they said the policy something similar to Vancouver is coming to Ontario,(before actually happened) people started to panic/react and started to rush to sell their homes.
Resulting more houses on the market/ buyer not bidding knowing price would cool down.
My buddy is an agent, he just listed a house in Markham 3ish weeks ago. Not selling. He was assure it would have sold less than 24 hours if it was listed a couple of months ago.
Ya, they started to lower the price just a couple of weeks ago.

A house was recently sold for $1.05M.
Within 1 week, I contacted the agent (who double-end the deal) if the NEW buyer will sell to me for $1.2M... NOPE, new buyer is not content with a $150K profit within a week, TAX-FREE, COMMISSION-FREE, as the house hasn't even closed yet, it would've just been an assignment that the government doesn't know.
Fortunately I live in a foreigner dominated neighbourhood so unlike the domestic buyers, they are not looking for a quick flip and are not desperate for cash so they will not sell if the price is not right. Yes, homes take longer to sell but the prices are quite firm.

One person just took their house off the market and another cranked their price up 175k. Both have been sitting for multiple months lol. Not going to go well. Both not living in the home and already are in the new house. Similar house just sold for 150k under the asking price of the home that jacked the price and the house was nicer.

Imagine how shitty the person who bought for 750 is feeling right now.
750k for a townhouse, probably 600k mortgage for 30 years for a fucking townhouse. I am not sure what's worse, jail or that?
People getting HOSED!

Depends on the townhouse. Some are better than antique bungalows.
Last week I went to see a friend of mine just bought a 60 year old $1.4 M bungalow. Single car detached garage, 1400 sq ft. Not close to anything. Some suburb in Etobicoke. It looks like crap and they've budgeted over $100k for renovations. Basically ripping apart the whole interior.
On the way home my "wife" commented that our brand new $760k, now worth close to a Mil, double car attached garage, 2000 sqft "executive" end-unit townhouse is a much better deal. It's much more liveable that's for sure.

Still to be seen but all signs are pointing to yes it should be better now.
I happened to just run into a few idiots which I'll just watch until they come back an realize their houses wont sell for what they want. Seeing more houses come up as people are trying to make money before it falls any more I assume.

Wait until the fall and winter, they'll be less houses on the market and the prices will start to creep back up.
