Don't Panic Yet Alberta

  "If most people keep their jobs, they’ll be able to pay their mortgages. If you have a job and you want to sell, you’ll likely still choose to not sell over accepting an offer that represents a big hit to your equity.
If that happens, we’ll find a lot of listings remaining unsold, with corresponding big drops in sales stats, but relatively stable prices."

I think prices are going to go down for the next 18 months -24 months.  We may enter a down turn of 2 years, then up again in 2017 or 2018.

If you step back, it just seems to be that 5 to 7 year cycle. We may enter a down turn of 2 years, then up again in 2017 or 2018.

If you have a lot of equity and don't mind getting out then do so. I see a lot of listings where prices are strong.  Of course asking price and selling price can be two totally different things.
