By the way, GTA just posted a record sales drop of land . Specifically, sales of land for residential development are down 45% in the 1st quarter of 2013 compared to a 4th quarter of 2012. On a year to year basis, the figure is down 40%. Worst drop on record! Yes, even worse than during the 2008 financial crisis.
Remember we are building a record number of new homes (over 68,000) right now. Well, it's safe to say that number won't be getting any bigger now. Toronto housing bubble is at it's peak!
