A recent post of John’s had gotten these folks all fired up. Now I’ve never met John personally, but we read each other’s blogs, share thoughts, and we even “guest blogged” together on a local radio show. So I do sort of know John. Certainly well enough to know he’s not an “idiot” and a “dolt” as Housing Panic so maturely proclaimed. I suspect I know John better than “Keith”, the guy that runs Housing Panic, does.

KJZZ-FM radio host Steve Goldstein and producer Paul Atkinson pulled the whole event together. Economist Alan McGuire participated as well, along with call-in guests and pre-taped segments.

It was a great show. It'll be interesting to see if Calgary continues to "track" Phoenix. Our markets sound similar (driven by different economics of course). We still have many seller's with unrealistic expectations. NO market can sustain 30, 30 , 50% appreciation for very long. Getting people to see that when they want top dollar for their home is difficult. We had a seller recently remark "Oh my gosh, my home's dropped 4% in the last four months!" Actually, his home had gained over 55% over the last 16 months. Yes, at one time it was up 59%. 55%, 59% -- neither is a bad return over 16 months! Jim –

Our market was up a staggering 51% over the last year, but we hit the top in June (see most recent stats @ <a href="http://www.jimsparrow.com/market-stats.php">http://www.jimsparrow.com/market-stats.php</a> ). It was simple supply/demand economics - too many buyers for too few homes. Just like your market, we used to list a home at noon and have several offers by the evening (often from buyers who wouldn't even see the home). The new reality is convincing SELLER's they have to be sensitive to the market. Great properties continue to sell quickly, but the avg days on market of 8 or 11 days is now over 30, with many properties on market for over 2 months! Calgary real estate will continue to appreciate, just not at the rates everyone saw last year.
