I can tell you that 90% of my buyers are from Ontario or BC and they look at our prices and go WOW, so affordable.

Look at you go bro

Pretty sure when I move next it's going to be to an older home not a newer one. Probably something from 1955-1975.

Sorry, haven't received my access card to the super secret portal that shows pending info. Like I said, not a professional so I gotta use realtor.ca like a pleb.

But do you agree that they do come up though? If buyers are willing to wait and not rush into the market because "it's hawt and you need to buy asap."

Calgary house finder is so much better than realtor.ca. The search criteria is much more detailed and does show pending, it's about a day delayed.

Overall, this thread delivers on entertainment. And if anyone was looking for ' What is Dunning-Kruger', some AAA material

Go pull up the info circular compensation for any decent size public company in Calgary and have a look at the senior executive positions compensation for each year then get back to me.

As for $800k new detached infills inner city, show me one.
Or even a semi detached new infill say 1500sqft or larger for under $800k

I don't need to look at their "circular" to know that precisely one Calgary-based CEO made $25mm last year and the vast majority of public co. CEOs - nevermind "Senior VPs" - make a fraction of that. Meanwhile you're here implying that if a "Senior VP" isn't making >$5mm a year, he's some sort of loser... As if something like that even exists in the first place.

And I didn't say "detached" infills for $800k; I said "SxS", or side-by-side... Sorry, did I not use the proper Realtor® lingo?

To prove my point, I went to your site... But you only have 3 listings, so there wasn't much a sample to draw from... Except your one detached listing in Marda Loop for $699.


Look, it's the hyperbole that's both unnecessary and also damaging to the point you're trying to make, not least because it exposes you as clueless about the subject and full of shit. If you're trying to talk about "wealthy people", why couldn't you just say something like "an executive couple with a household income of $1mm (or more!)..."? That's so much more accurate, and therefore believable that you actually know something about this...

Is this before or after they show you their tax returns?

I'm not a Realtor®, so maybe I don't get the joke.

Does hyperbole contravene fiduciary duty? Or is it OK if the Realtor® is just talking out their ass about things they clearly know nothing about, to the point that anyone that does know recognizes it? Like "Senior VPs" making $5mm a year... Or "west of 85th is totally still Aspen" Like that's OK if the Realtor® says that stuff, 'cause anyone that knows better recognizes they're full of shit?

Guys, I don't know how to tell you this, but I've been presented with a awful lot of penises, and the average length is around 9" flaccid just as you'd expect.

May or may not be related but Mike Rose made ~$20 million in Q3, strictly from their $2.25/share special dividend pay out. (He has 8,864,974 TOU shares.)

That's the kind of neighbourhood I want to live in. Thinking Thorncliffe, but probably 3-5 years from moving anyway.

Besides location, why an old home?

Is it strictly budget?

[ThePenIsMightier]

The CEO I knew made a shade under $700,000 in salary in 2007 for a private company that employed about 7,500 tied exclusively to the energy industry. He also held something less than 6% ownership stake in the company and probably got a pretty large bonus.
So obviously this business didn't know what it was doing and they are probably long gone by now because he wasn't pulling down $4MM.


*Company was sold for 10-figures.
